Kiki hits Spotify Korea #1 with 'Pop Off Pop Off,' 450K daily streams, and a Forbes-praised US debut
Kiki's third mini album 'WhyKiiiKiii' title track tops Spotify Korea and multiple Apple Music charts 10 days after release, as the group earns Forbes praise for their HITC LA main stage debut.
Pop Off Pop Off hit #1 on Spotify Korea on August 20 at 10 AM. It's Kiki's second chart-topper there, after 404 (New Era).
The day before, the track logged over 450,000 daily streams on Spotify. On Apple Music, Pop Off Pop Off sits at #1 on the Popular chart, Today's Top 100: South Korea, and the Top 25 charts for Seoul and Busan. Every track on the third mini album WhyKiiiKiii (released August 10) charted on Apple Music's Today's Top 100: South Korea. The album itself reached #1 on the Apple Music popular albums chart.
Kiki performed on the main stage at Head in the Clouds LA 2026 in California. The setlist included Dancing Alone, Delulu, and 404 (New Era). Forbes covered the performance, writing that Kiki "made their debut on the HITC festival main stage" and showed "strong presence" roughly a year after debut. This marked the group's first US stage appearance.
404 (New Era) was named one of Billboard's best K-pop songs. Delulu Pack made Billboard's best K-pop albums list. Two Billboard selections plus back-to-back Spotify Korea #1s in one era. That's where Kiki's global momentum sits right now.
