The record-breaking spree doesn’t stop there. On the Oricon music rankings (dated November 3), “IRIS OUT” claimed the top spot on both the weekly streaming ranking and the weekly digital single (single track) ranking. This marks the fourth time the song has achieved a digital double crown, a truly remarkable feat. Combining the Billboard JAPAN and Oricon charts, “IRIS OUT” has clinched seven number one titles this week, with four of those being consecutive first-place finishes for six weeks running.

A Streaming Phenomenon: Yonezu Kenshi’s Triple Threat

In streaming, it recorded an astonishing 28,733,082 plays, setting the “highest streaming count ever for a Japanese song.”

The song’s international acclaim is equally impressive.

This marks the highest position ever achieved by a Japanese-language song on the prestigious global chart, further cementing its legendary status.
