Hearts2Hearts’ “RUDE!” Ranks No. 1 on China’s QQ Music K-Pop Weekly Chart

The new song “RUDE!” by Hearts2Hearts, under SM Entertainment, has received strong response in China. After topping both the new song chart and the trend index chart on China’s largest music platform, QQ Music, it also claimed first place on the K-Pop weekly chart (compiled from February 20 to 26).

On China’s leading short-form video platform, Douyin, the total view count for “RUDE!” dance challenge hashtag videos has exceeded 30 million views, sparking a new wave of global challenges following “The Chase,” “STYLE,” and “FOCUS.” The music video reached 40 million views just 5 days and 17 hours after its release, proving even faster popularity than its predecessor “FOCUS,” which took approximately 3 months to reach the same view count.

“RUDE!” set a new record for Hearts2Hearts by reaching peak position No. 5 on the Melon TOP100 chart (as of 11 p.m. on February 26) and No. 16 on the daily chart, surpassing its own previous highs. “FOCUS,” released in October last year, is also gaining attention again after reaching a peak position of No. 32 on the same chart.
