TWS Tops Melon's Annual Chart with Debut Track

The debut song of rookie boy group TWS, "Plot Twist," has made history by topping last year's Melon annual chart.

According to the "2024 Melon Annual Chart" released on January 9, the title track from TWS's debut album "Sparkling Blue" took the No. 1 spot on the chart. The group consists of members Shin Yu, Do Hoon, Young Jae, Han Jin, Ji Hoon, and Kyung Min.

This marks the first time in 14 years that a debut track has reached the top of Melon's annual chart, following Miss A's "Bad Girl Good Girl" in 2010. Additionally, TWS is the first boy group in six years to claim the No. 1 position since iKON's "Love Scenario" in 2018.

With this achievement, TWS has reignited the boy group craze, signaling a shift in the K-pop landscape with their overwhelming popularity and momentum.

TWS has sparked a massive public reaction with their debut track "Plot Twist," introducing a new genre they call 'Boyhood Pop' — a style that evokes beautiful emotions in everyday life.

The song not only topped two major categories — Digital and Streaming — on the Circle Chart for the first half of 2024, but it is also still charting nearly a year after its release, demonstrating its impressive longevity.

Driven by its addictive melody, the song gained significant traction on social media platforms. On TikTok's year-end recap, it ranked No. 6 in the 'Top Songs' for the South Korean region, while on YouTube, it reached No. 4 in the 'Most Popular Shorts Songs' and No. 6 in the 'Most Popular Songs' in Korea.

Notably, TWS is the only K-pop boy group to rank within the top spots on both TikTok's 'Top Songs' and YouTube's 'Most Popular Songs.' Their widespread success highlights their growing influence in both traditional and digital music platforms, cementing their place as a rising force in K-pop.

TWS's debut track Plot Twist" made waves not only in Korea but also internationally, earning spots on Billboard and NME's lists of the 'Best K-Pop Songs of 2024.'

Riding on this momentum, TWS swept a total of 13 trophies from major music awards, claiming the title of the most awarded rookie artist of 2024. Their achievements solidified their position as one of the most influential newcomers in the K-pop scene.

In addition to their chart-topping success, TWS showcased remarkable album sales, achieving three consecutive 'Half Million Seller' titles with their albums and singles released in Korea last year.

Following a blazing year in 2024, the group is now gearing up for their first-ever solo fan meeting, '2025 TWS 1ST FANMEETING 42:CLUB,' which will take place in Seoul in February and Tokyo in March. Fans can expect more exciting activities from the group as they continue their unstoppable momentum into the new year.
