Snow Man’s ‘Good Time’ Tops Japan Hot 100
Snow Man's digital single "Good Time" has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, marking the nine-member boy band's 15th chart-topper on the ranking. The song led downloads while also placing highly across streaming, radio airplay and video, and its success pulled two further Snow Man tracks into the top 100, giving the group three simultaneous entries this week.
The chart, covering the week of 6–12 July and released on 15 July, saw BUDDiiS rise to No. 2 with their major-label debut single, which topped weekly sales, while OCHA NORMA entered at No. 3. Twelve new tracks debuted overall, and notable catalogue movers included T.M.Revolution's "HOT LIMIT", which reached its first-ever top-20 placing after a new video boosted it, and Southern All Stars' 1979 ballad "Ellie My Love", which re-entered the chart on the back of its use in the Netflix series Human Vapor, also driving sharp streaming increases in South Korea and the United States.
