YOASOBI’s opening theme song for the Oshi no Ko anime, “Idol,” has been a runaway success since the anime debuted. Now it’s adding another achievement as it managed to top the Billboard Global chart. The chart, which excludes the United States, currently has “Idol” sitting at number 1 above Fifty Fifty’s “Cupid,” Yng Lvcas x Peso Pluma’s “La Bebe” and Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers.”
This makes for a nice piece of music history, as “Idol” is the first song originally in Japanese to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Global (Excluding U.S.) chart.
