FIFTY FIFTY and Billboard Success in World Digital Song Sales with ATTRAKT Promotion

FIFTY FIFTY’s latest track SOS made an impressive debut at 7th place on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart. Additionally, the song entered the Billboard LyricFind Global chart at 21st place. Last year, their hit Cupid first entered the World Digital Song Sales chart at 8th place before eventually making it to the Billboard Hot 100. The World Digital Song Sales chart is often viewed as a stepping stone to the Billboard Hot 100. Just a week after its release, SOS has successfully taken its first step into the Billboard charts at a rapid pace.

ATTRAKT and Billboard Strategy for FIFTY FIFTY Promotions

This achievement holds significance for ATTRAKT, the group’s management company, as it prepares for its U.S. promotions on October 21. SOS’s debut on the Billboard chart is seen as the first step toward entering the Billboard Hot 100. ATTRAKT’s release of the Love Tune album on Friday, September 20, also seems to be a calculated move targeting the Billboard charts, as Billboard tracks sales and streams from Friday through Thursday.

Rising Popularity in Other Rankings

FIFTY FIFTY has also made their debut at 7th place in YouTube Music’s weekly popular artist ranking. Moreover, they entered the Star Brand Index at 12th place, a ranking that includes not only celebrities from entertainment but also sports stars. Among girl groups, FIFTY FIFTY ranked fourth, following aespa, IVE, and LE SSERAFIM. The Star Brand Index evaluates the relationship between consumers and brands, media interest, positive and negative reviews, and consumer interaction.

Korean Community Reaction

Upon hearing the news, many congratulated FIFTY FIFTY in Korean communities. Some mentioned that entering the Billboard Hot 100 could offset the disadvantage of ATTRAKT being a small company. There were also suggestions that fans should request U.S. radio stations to play SOS, as this could help the song gain more traction. However, a Billboard image mistakenly featured former members of FIFTY FIFTY, causing mixed reactions. Some were disappointed, while others saw it as a sign that English-speaking communities may not be paying attention to the member changes.
