Hey! Say! JUMP‘s “UMP” shoots to No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, dated Oct. 2, selling 221,762 CDs in its first week.

The lyrics for the eight-member group’s 34th single was written by sumika’s Kenta Kataoka. The track was powered by physical sales (No. 1) and radio airplay (No. 6) and hits No. 1, becoming the group’s 31st chart-topper. The last time Hey! Say! JUMP ruled the Japan Hot 100 was in May 2022, with its single “a r e a.”

Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s “Lilac” holds at No. 2. About six months have passed since the Oblivion Battery opener was released, and while the track is slowing down in most metrics of the chart’s methodology, radio is up by about 1.4 times this week, rising from outside the top 100 to No. 68. The former No. 1 hit continues to dominate streaming (15 consecutive weeks) and video views (three consecutive weeks). The three-man pop band also has another song in the top 10 this week, with “Dance Hall” jumping 20-9. 

back number’s “to new lovers” also holds at No. 3 this week. The final episode of the drama series the song serves as the theme — Umi no Hajimari — aired during the chart week and streaming increased slightly, while other metrics decreased slightly. The former No. 1 song has been charting for eleven weeks and has spent four straight weeks in the top 10.

Kocchinokento’s “Hai Yorokonde” rises 7-4. Most likely due to the music producer’s appearance on CDTV Live! Live! on Sept. 23, downloads are up 112%, streaming up 101%, and radio up 154% from the week before. The viral hit has remained in the top 10 for 11 straight weeks, coming in at No. 3 for downloads, No. 8 for streaming, No. 3 for videos, and No. 19 for karaoke this week. The track also made headlines recently when the accompanying music video reached 100 million views on Monday (Sept. 30). The singer-songwriter is set to make his second appearance on CDTV Live! Live! on the show airing Oct. 7.

Creepy Nuts’ “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” rises a notch to No. 5. Radio for the MASHLE Season 2 opener is up 128% and the former No. 1 mega-hit has now been in the top 10 for 37 consecutive weeks.

Kenshi Yonezu’s “Sayonara, Mata Itsuka!” is back in the top 10, after the full version of the animated opening sequence of the highly acclaimed biographical legal drama series it serves as the theme dropped ahead of the final episode last week. All metrics increased from the week before: downloads is at 142%, streaming 105%, radio 480%, video 162%, and karaoke 106% week-over-week.
