Mrs. GREEN APPLE's 'lulu.' Takes Top Spot as Bruno Mars' 'I Just Might' Makes Chart Debut in Japan
Japanese pop sensation Mrs. GREEN APPLE has once again proven her dominance on the Japanese music scene with her latest single, "lulu." The song, which serves as the opening theme for anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2, has taken the top spot on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart for the week of January 21.
The track has broken records, topping both downloads and streaming charts to secure its position at No. 1. It also comes in at No. 8 for video views and No. 2 for radio airplay, giving Mrs. GREEN APPLE her sixth No. 1 song on the list and 13th week at the top overall.
This marks another milestone for Mrs. GREEN APPLE, who has now secured multiple No. 1 spots on the chart with her previous hits such as "breakfast," "Tengoku," "KUSUSHIKI," "Lilac," and "Bitter Vacances." Her latest success is expected to further boost her already significant popularity in Japan.
Notable newcomers on this week's chart include Kenshi Yonezu's "IRIS OUT" at No. 2, King Gnu's "AIZO" at No. 3, Ryosuke Yamada's "Blue Noise" at No. 4, and M!LK's "Suki Sugite Metsu!" still holding steady at No. 5.
On the other hand, international artist Bruno Mars made his Japan chart debut with his latest single "I Just Might," ranking at No. 26. This marks an exciting new beginning for the American pop sensation as he gears up to release his upcoming album, The Romantic, in February.
The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines various music metrics including physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, video views, and karaoke data to provide a comprehensive view of Japan's current musical landscape.

she's literally killing the game in japan rn! i mean have u heard her new single "lulu"? it's like so catchy 
i've had it on repeat nonstop since it came out & now its at number one on the billboard japan hot 100 chart wowzers 
i'm not surprised tho cuz she's been killing the game in japan for years now. i was a bit worried when i heard bruno mars was making his debut w/ "i just might" but let's be real, that song is cute & all but its no "lulu" lol anyway can't wait to see what else Mrs GREEN APPLE has up her sleeve 
. Six No 1 spots? That's insane! 
. The girl is a force to be reckoned with in Japan and I'm so here for it 
. Kenshi Yonezu's new single 'IRIS OUT' is looking good though 
. Bruno Mars making his debut? That's awesome 
. Can't wait to see what he does next!
.
It's great to see an international artist making a splash in the country! His song "I Just Might" might not be at the top spot just yet, but I'm excited to hear more from him and see how his album, The Romantic, does 
.
!
it's awesome that she's breaking records and topping the charts again! 13 weeks at number one is no joke 
i'm not surprised though, she's been killing it in Japan for years 
and now international artists like Bruno Mars are taking notice 
. And what's up with Bruno Mars making his debut in Japan at No. 26? Like, didn't he used to be a thing or something? 
Anyway, gotta give props to Mrs. GREEN APPLE for the consistency, but can we get some more diverse artists on this chart? 
, and bruno mars thinks he can just waltz in here with his 'I Just Might' and steal the spotlight? please, it's gonna be a long year if he thinks he can take on mrs green apple 
. Six no 1s already? That's insane 
. And to see Bruno Mars making his debut at number 26 is still a big deal for him
