Ailit's Magnetic: Spotify Reaches 700 Million Streams, Fastest Debut by a K-Pop Group

Ailit is gearing up for a comeback and has marked a new milestone on Spotify. The title track Magnetic from their debut mini-album, Super Real Me, had reached 700.18 million streams as of the 12th. That figure makes Magnetic the fastest debut song by a K-pop group to hit 700 million streams on Spotify.

Released in March last year, Magnetic uses a metaphor of magnetism to describe the pull toward someone you like, and its finger-point dance helped spur a worldwide challenge. The track’s immense popularity is evident across multiple metrics, with Magnetic topping major domestic charts and becoming the first K-pop debut to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100 in the shortest time.

Magnetic has enjoyed long-running popularity, ranking highest among K-pop songs on various global year-end charts last year. Even more than a year and seven months after its release, it remains in domestic chart rankings and continues to be beloved. Ailit has also produced four Spotify tracks with over 100 million streams, including Magnetic, Lucky Girl Syndrome, Cherish, and TicTak, bringing their total Spotify plays across all released songs to over 1.9 billion.

Meanwhile, on the 24th, Ailit will release their first single album Not Cute Anymore. The title track expresses a feeling of not wanting to appear cute all the time. Prior to this, they released colorful concept photos in a cheeky and wild style, heightening expectations for their comeback.
