IU sets new Billboard record!
IU has topped the Korean Billboard charts for her 4th consecutive week. This constitutes a new record in the Billboard K-Pop Hot 100 short history. Right after the Billboard was created back in August, Davichi achieved a triple crown with their hit Don’t Say Goodbye. It remained as the record until IU set this new record of 4 weeks as Billboard leader with You & I.
Don’t Say Goodbye was the very first song to achieve a “triple triple crown” on charts. It dominated the Billboard, Instiz and Gaon charts for 3 consecutive weeks. IU has extended this record by ranking 1st for 4 weeks on both Instiz and Billboard, and 3 weeks on the Gaon weekly charts.
