LE SSERAFIM's 'HOT' Hits 200 Million Spotify Streams Ahead of Europe Tour
K-POP girl group LE SSERAFIM has pushed another song past a major Spotify milestone. "HOT," the title track from the group's fifth EP, has crossed 200 million streams on the platform, roughly a year and a half after its release.
According to Spotify, "HOT" had been played 200,109,656 times as of the 10th. The song, performed by members Kim Chae-won, Sakura, Huh Yun-jin, Kazuha and Hong Eun-chae, was released in March of last year and has held steady with listeners ever since.
"HOT" delivers a message about burning through everything for what you love, even when the ending is uncertain. The lyric "You make me dream of something like a miracle again" marked the first time LE SSERAFIM sang about love in a title track since its debut.
Musically, the song blends pop with touches of rock and disco, built around a lyrical melody that gives it a different feel from the group's earlier hits. Fans have returned to it this fall as the cooler weather lines up with the song's mood. Comments continue to roll in on stage videos long after the initial release window.
In total, LE SSERAFIM has now sent 17 songs past the 100 million-stream mark on Spotify. "ANTIFRAGILE" leads the group's catalog with 700 million streams. "Perfect Night" and "CRAZY" have each cleared 500 million, while "Smart" sits at 400 million.
"EASY," "FEARLESS," "UNFORGIVEN (feat. Nile Rodgers)," "Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's wife" and "SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS)" have each passed 300 million. "Sour Grapes," "HOT" and "ICONIC BY MISTAKE," a special collaboration single with ILLIT and KATSEYE, have each cleared 200 million. "Blue Flame," "Impurities," "Good Parts (when the quality is bad but I am)," "FEARLESS (2023 ver.)" and "1-800-hot-n-fun" round out the list at 100 million.
Next up for the group is a run on the road. LE SSERAFIM kicks off its first Europe tour, "2026 LE SSERAFIM TOUR 'PUREFLOW' IN UK & EUROPE," on the 16th local time at The O2 Arena in London.
With a growing streaming catalog and its first proper European dates on the calendar, LE SSERAFIM continues to build out its footprint well beyond Asia.
