IZ*ONE soars to No. 1 on this week's Billboard Japan Hot 100 with "Vampire," the South Korean/Japanese girl group's third Japan single. The song sold 344,828 copies in its first week and takes the top spot of the tally, dated Sept. 23 to 29, fueled by physical sales points. The group has been steadily increasing sales with each single they put out. The previous single, "Buenos Aires," sold 321,999 copies in its first week, and the one before that, "Suki to Iwasetai," debuted at 303,745 copies. TWICE's "Feel Special," the title track of their eighth mini-album, was streamed 3,787,512 times to come in at No. 3, downloaded 8,731 times to come in at No. 13, and the music video was viewed 8,370,008 times to rule the metric this week.
