BABYMONSTER's 'CHOOM' enters US Mediabase Top 40 radio chart for the first time at No. 35

BABYMONSTER has entered a US mainstream radio chart for the very first time.

According to the latest 'Top 40 Radio Chart' published by US-based Mediabase (tracking period: July 19-25, 2026), "CHOOM," the title track of BABYMONSTER's third mini album, debuted on the chart at No. 35. It marks the first time BABYMONSTER has charted on mainstream radio in the United States.

The achievement stands out all the more given that it came without any separate local promotion, hinting at BABYMONSTER's growth potential in the North American market. "CHOOM" is currently in rotation at major radio stations including Los Angeles' KIIS-FM, New York's Z100 (WHTZ-FM), and Chicago's WKSC-FM, steadily widening its reach among American listeners.

Mediabase's 'Top 40 Radio Chart' ranks songs based on airplay data from major radio stations across the United States and Canada. As the data also feeds into the 'Radio Songs' chart, a component of Billboard's main 'HOT 100' chart, it is considered a key indicator of a song's mainstream appeal and reach within the North American pop market.

Released last May, the third mini album '[CHOOM]' put dance front and center in both its album name and title track, carrying the group's ambition to win over g

lobal listeners through music and performance. The album topped iTunes charts in 19 regions as well as the worldwide album chart, and sold over 750,000 copies within roughly a week of release.

Even after wrapping official promotions for the title track, BABYMONSTER kept the momentum of '[CHOOM]' going by steadily releasing content for the album's B-sides. Now, entering a US mainstream radio chart for the first time 11 weeks after the album's release, the group has proven its steady global expansion.

BABYMONSTER is carrying that momentum into their second world tour. Starting with their Seoul concerts, the group will meet fans around the world across 29 shows in 18 cities spanning 5 continents, including Japan, Asia, North America, Europe, and South America. Having now confirmed their potential on US mainstream radio, expectations are high for the stages they will present at their upcoming North American shows.
