포스팅 대표 이미지

South Korea’s official music ranking system, Circle Chart, has released its latest data for the week of February 8 to 14, 2026. The results highlight the continued dominance of the boy group ATEEZ and the rising success of KiiiKiii, both of whom secured "double crowns" by topping two major categories simultaneously.

Quick Summary

  • ATEEZ secures a second week at the top: The group maintained their number one position on both the physical album chart and the digital download chart.
  • KiiiKiii achieves digital success: The artist topped both the overall digital chart and the streaming chart with the hit song "404 (New Era)."
  • Diverse competition: Major groups like IVE, SEVENTEEN, and TWICE also showed strong performance across various categories, including the social and global charts.

What Happened

For the second consecutive week, ATEEZ has proven their market power. Their latest mini-album, "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4," claimed the top two spots on the physical album chart, with different versions of the same record taking the #1 and #2 positions. Their lead track, "Adrenaline," also remained the most downloaded song of the week.

Meanwhile, KiiiKiii emerged as a digital powerhouse. Their track "404 (New Era)" rose to the #1 spot on the overall digital chart, which measures a combination of downloads, streaming, and background music usage. The song also led the streaming chart, indicating high popularity among the general public using music apps.

Other notable entries included IVE, whose new track "BANG BANG" debuted high on several charts, and ILLIT, who maintained their #1 spot on the social chart, which tracks popularity across social media platforms.

Who Is Who

ATEEZ is an eight-member South Korean boy group that has gained massive international popularity since their debut in 2018. They are known for their theatrical performances and intense musical style. KiiiKiii is an artist currently making waves in the digital music scene, reaching a wide audience through streaming services.

Circle Chart (formerly known as Gaon Chart) is the national music chart of South Korea. It is considered the most reliable metric for music popularity in the country, similar to the Billboard charts in the United States, as it aggregates data from all major domestic music providers and physical retailers.

Why This Matters in K-pop

In the Korean music industry, achieving a "double crown" is a significant milestone. It shows that an artist isn't just popular with a dedicated fanbase who buys physical albums (like ATEEZ), but also resonates with the broader public who listens via streaming services (like KiiiKiii).

The fact that ATEEZ held their position for two weeks straight is particularly impressive in the fast-paced K-pop market, where new music is released almost daily. This consistency suggests a very loyal global audience. Furthermore, the high rankings of newer groups like IVE and ILLIT on the social and global charts indicate that the next generation of artists is quickly establishing a firm grip on the industry.

안녕하세요! 100만 투자자들의 든든한 동반자, 코니버스 입니다. 오늘 오전 시장의 가장 뜨거운 감자였던 한국은행 금융통화위원회의 결정이 발표되었습니다. 예상했던 대로 '동결'의 목소리가 컸는데요, 구체적으로 어떤 내용이 담겼는지 함께 분석해 보겠습니다. 📌 핵심 요약 6연속 동결: 한국은행 금통위가 기준금리를 연 2.5%로 유지하며 9개월째 금리 고정 상태를 이어갔습니다. 성장률 상향 전망: 반도체 중심의 수출 호조로 올해 경제성장률 전망치를 1.9~2.0%로 상향 조정할 가능성이 큽니다. 부담 요소 여전: 1,420원대 중반을 오가는 고환율과 여전히 오름세인 서울 집값이 금리 인하의 발목을 잡았습니다. 📊 본문 상세 분석 한국은행 금융통화위원회는 오늘 올해 두 번째 통화정책방향 회의에서 기준금리를 연 2.5% 로 동결했습니다. 이는 지난해 하반기부터 이어진 6차례 연속 동결로, 시장은 한은이 '물가 안정'과 '금융 안정' 사이에서 신중한 태도를 유지하고 있다고 평가하고 있습니다. 금리 동결의 가장 큰 배경은 크게 세 가지로 요약됩니다. 첫째, 환율 불안: 지난 20일 기준 원/달러 환율 종가는 1,429.4원 을 기록했습니다. 지정학적 리스크가 여전한 상황에서 금리를 낮출 경우 자본 유출과 환율 상승 압박이 더 거세질 수 있습니다. 둘째, 부동산 과열 우려: 2월 셋째 주 서울 아파트 매매가격은 전주 대비 0.15% 상승 하며 여전히 우상향 곡선을 그리고 있습니다. 금리 인하가 가계부채와 집값을 자극할 수 있다는 우려가 큽니다. 셋째, 경기 회복 기대감: 반도체를 앞세운 수출 호황 덕분에 경기 회복세가 뚜렷해지고 있습니다. 한은은 올해 성장률 전망치를 기존보다 0.1~0.2%포인트 상향한 1.9~2.0% 로 제시할 것으로 관측됩니다. 💡 코니버스의 투자 인사이트 이번 금리 동결은 시장에 어떤 영향을 미칠까요? 우선 한은이 '금리 인하' 문구를 삭제한 것에 주목해야 합니다. 이는 조기 ...
