LE SSERAFIM is proving their global power once again! The girl group has made it into the Top 10 CD Album Sales chart in the U.S. for the first half of 2025—setting a new record for K-pop girl groups.
On July 16, U.S. entertainment data company Luminate released its 2025 Midyear Music Report.
According to the report, LE SSERAFIM’s 5th mini album HOT sold 73,000 physical copies in the U.S., landing them at No. 9 on the U.S. Top 10 CD Albums list. They’re the only K-pop girl group included in the Top 10, marking a major milestone in their career.
LE SSERAFIM—made up of Kim Chae Won, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eun Chae—has been on fire this year.
Earlier, they also ranked the highest among all K-pop artists on Luminate’s Q3 2024 Luminate Index, which tracks streaming, social media buzz, public recognition, and fan engagement.
This proves the group’s impact goes beyond just album sales—it shows they’re winning both fans and the general public.
Their March release HOT also brought in strong numbers on Billboard. It entered the Billboard 200 at No. 9, making LE SSERAFIM the only 4th-gen K-pop girl group to score four Top 10 albums in a row on the chart.
On top of that, they ranked No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart during its first week, showing their strong physical sales in the U.S.
And they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
LE SSERAFIM will kick off their first North American tour, 2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT’ IN NORTH AMERICA, this September. All six stops—Newark, Chicago, Grand Prairie, Inglewood, San Francisco, and Las Vegas—completely sold out, showing just how strong their U.S. fanbase has become.
Before that, they’ll start their Asia tour on July 19, with sold-out shows in Taipei, Hong Kong, Manila, and Singapore. Even the extra shows added in Taipei and Hong Kong also sold out instantly.
With their record-breaking sales, powerful charts, and sold-out arenas, LE SSERAFIM is not just rising—they’re dominating.
