aespa's "Supernova" breaks into the top 10 all-time for most hourly PAKs (perfect all kills)

aespa's chart-topping single, "Supernova," has made an impressive entry into the elite league of songs (top 10) with the most hourly Perfect All-Kills (PAKs). Currently, the track has achieved a remarkable 208 hours of PAK status, with the count still ongoing.

This achievement signifies the song's overwhelming popularity, as a PAK is awarded when a song consistently ranks first on the daily and real-time charts of all major South Korean music streaming platforms, including Melon, Genie, Bugs, FLO, VIBE, and YouTube Music. Additionally, to secure a PAK, the song must simultaneously top the real-time and weekly charts on Instiz's iChart, thereby dominating every significant music ranking in South Korea.

Entering the top 10 marks a significant milestone in aespa's illustrious career.
