LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE Make Waves in the UK

"ICONIC BY MISTAKE" by LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE / Source Music, BELIFT LAB and HYBE x Geffen Records

The joint single "ICONIC BY MISTAKE" by LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE is gaining ground on the U.K. charts. The track landed at No. 3 on the U.K. Official Trending Chart published June 16 BST.

The Official Trending Chart, run by the Official Charts Company, tracks downloads, physical sales and audio streams from Friday through Monday each week. It is closely watched in the U.K. music industry because many of the songs that appear on it go on to enter the Official Singles Top 100. That makes it a useful early read on how a release will perform.

"ICONIC BY MISTAKE" is a digital-only single, released without a physical version. Since its release, streaming numbers have been rising in the U.K. and other major markets.

On Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart, the track entered at No. 29 on its release day, June 12, and climbed to No. 25 as of the June 16 update. It has also charted in the United States, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia and the Philippines.

The performance is notable because the three groups all sit under HYBE's wider label network, and the project pulls together fanbases from three different rookie-tier acts. LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT are both based in South Korea, while KATSEYE is the global girl group launched through HYBE's joint venture with Geffen Records in the United States. Their combined reach across the U.S., U.K. and Asia is showing up clearly in the early streaming data.

With the song still moving up on Spotify's global chart five days after release, the next read will come when the U.K. Official Singles Top 100 is updated later this week.
