CRAVITY reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Trending Songs chart, powered by X, for the first time, as “Ready or Not” tops the Sept. 23-dated list.
Billboard’s Hot Trending charts, powered by X (formerly known as Twitter), track global music-related trends and conversations in real-time across X, viewable over either the last 24 hours or past seven days. A weekly, 20-position version of the chart, covering activity from Friday through Thursday of each week, posts alongside Billboard’s other weekly charts on Billboard.com each Tuesday, with the latest tracking period running Sept. 8-14.
“Ready or Not” was released alongside the rest of CRAVITY’s six-song EP SUN SEEKER on Sept. 11. The song’s music video, however, was teased on the StarshipTV YouTube account beginning Sept. 8.
SUN SEEKER is the K-pop group’s second EP in 2023, following Master: Piece, which premiered in March.
Multiple songs by MohBad follow, led by “Peace” at No. 2, following the Nigerian singer and rapper’s Sept. 12 death. The songs “Feel Good” and “Ask About Me” also appear in the top 10 at Nos. 5 and 8, respectively. A cause of death has not yet been released.
“Big Difference,” a track from Nicki Minaj’s upcoming album Pink Friday 2 that was premiered during the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 12, bows at No. 3, and Shakira’s 2002 hit “Objection (Tango)” (No. 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 that September) starts at No. 4 after it was featured in a medley of tunes she performed at the VMAs when she received the Video Vanguard Award.
