SEVENTEEN Tops the Charts Again with THUNDER as IU Stay in No 2
SEVENTEEN isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Their latest track “THUNDER” is still sitting comfortably at the top of the Soompi Music Chart for the second week in a row. The song, with its upbeat rhythm and catchy chorus, seems to be exactly what fans need this season. Produced by group member Woozi alongside Bumzu and S.Coups, “THUNDER” carries energy and emotion.
Right behind them is solo queen IU, whose version of the classic ballad “Never Ending Story” has moved up to the number two spot. IU’s soft vocals and emotional depth give the old song a new heartbeat. Listeners have clearly been touched by her gentle delivery and the nostalgic feel of the track.
In third place is rising star MEOVV with the fiery single “HANDS UP.” The song had a strong run at number two but slipped slightly this week. Still, it’s no small feat for MEOVV, who’s quickly becoming a name to watch. With its danceable beat and bold sound, “HANDS UP” continues to light up playlists across the globe.
Another surprise this week came from Maktub, whose ballad “Starting With You” has found its way back into the top 10, landing at number ten. The song, filled with warmth and sincerity, seems to be making a quiet comeback as listeners reconnect with its heartfelt message.

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks with regret as he reflects on his life. He shared that he is disappointed in himself for still being single at his age and not having any children.
The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”

During a recent interview, the singer spoke about the African music movement.
