Le Sserafim is quickly leaving its mark on the charts in the United Kingdom with hit after hit after hit in rapid succession. The five-member K-pop act, which has built a passionate following around the world, is back with a new single, and it's already become another quick success. This time, the girl group's latest isn't just a charting win, it brings the musicians to a never-before-enjoyed peak.
'Hot,' the latest single from Le Sserafim, kicks off its time on a pair of tallies in the U.K. this frame. The upbeat track launches at No. 14 on both the Official Singles Sales and the Official Singles Downloads charts at the same time.
Now that 'Hot' has launched, Le Sserafim has collected a total of four appearances on the Official Singles Downloads chart. Over on the Official Singles Sales ranking, the group has performed even better, snagging five wins throughout its career.
While 'Hot' is the group's newest win, it also stands as its highest-rising release yet on the Official Singles Sales chart. That record used to be held by the group's previous success, 'Smart,' which peaked at No. 15 back in September 2024. 'Hot' narrowly edges it out by one position, grabbing the title of Le Sserafim's top seller in the U.K.
On the downloads-focused tally, 'Hot' ties Le Sserafim's personal best. 'Smart' also spent one frame at No. 14 on the Official Singles Downloads chart during its heyday last fall.
While 'Hot' dominates the downloads and sales charts this week, Le Sserafim's earlier hit 'Smart' hasn't disappeared completely. That months-old track still finds a home on the Official Physical Singles ranking, where it slips slightly from No. 20 to No. 28. This frame marks its sixth stay on the physical-only roster.
'Hot' serves as the title track from Le Sserafim's new EP of the same name. The short project features just five songs, with the title cut front and center. So far, the set hasn't charted in the U.K., as the focus seems to be on the single.
