LE SSERAFIM Jumps to Top of K-POPIT BOARD Rankings After LA Tour Opener

LE SSERAFIM have climbed to the top of the K-POPIT BOARD's domestic momentum rankings while making an even sharper jump globally, following the Los Angeles opening of the North American leg of their "PUREFLOW" tour.

According to K-POPIT BOARD, the K-POP analytics index, LE SSERAFIM ranked No. 1 on the Sept. 18 Domestic Rise chart with a Power Index (PWR_KR) score of 74. The group also placed No. 2 on the Global Rise chart with a Power Index (PWR_GL) score of 63.

The global jump was particularly notable, as LE SSERAFIM had been near the lower end of the top 10 just a day earlier before surging to second place. The Power Index combines data from music charts, social media activity and news coverage to measure an artist's overall momentum.

The rise comes immediately after LE SSERAFIM opened the North American leg of their "PUREFLOW" tour at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sept. 16. The arena show marked the group's first North American stop of the tour and brought their latest music into the concert set for the first time.

New single "Made My Night" made its tour debut during the show, while "ICONIC BY MISTAKE" was also newly incorporated into the performance. Early reactions from concertgoers highlighted the group's sustained energy and performance throughout the arena show, with the new material drawing particular attention.

The concert followed the Sept. 11 release of the group's second single, "Made My Night." The release extended LE SSERAFIM's collaboration with Overwatch after their previous partnership around "Perfect Night," connecting the music with in-game content including skins and emotes.

The rise is also visible across K-POPIT BOARD's supporting indicators. LE SSERAFIM recorded an MAS score of 98, while their D-layer index, which tracks interest beyond the core fandom, rose 28.3 percent, pointing to growing interest among the wider public. The group also led the Viral Conversion Leader (VCR) category with a score of 100, indicating the highest YouTube-to-Spotify conversion rate measured by the index.

The figures come as LE SSERAFIM brings its latest release to the North American live stage, adding another point of contact between the group's music and audiences beyond its existing fan base.
