For the week of May 10 to May 16, NU’EST’s eighth mini album “The Nocturne” took the No. 1 spot on the album chart, while their title track “I’m in Trouble” topped the download chart and BGM chart (which tracks the songs that people purchase to use as background music for their blogs and KakaoTalk profiles). In total, NU’EST has topped three charts, achieving a triple crown.

IU’s “eight” (produced by and featuring BTS’s Suga) placed No. 1 on the overall digital chart and streaming chart for a double crown.
