G)I-DLE's Yuqi Dominates Global Charts with Debut Solo Single 'Motivation'
Yuqi, a member of the popular K-pop group (G)I-DLE, has taken the music world by storm with her debut solo single 'Motivation,' topping charts both domestically and internationally.
Released on the 16th, Yuqi's first solo single 'Motivation' quickly proved its immense popularity by securing the number one spot on the digital album bestseller daily charts of China's leading music platforms, QQ Music and Kugou Music. Furthermore, the title track 'M.O.' and the pre-released song 'Giant' (아프다) also landed high positions on QQ Music's overall music video chart, underscoring their widespread appeal.
Domestically, Yuqi's influence was equally prominent. The title track 'M.O.' soared to the top of BUGS' real-time chart, showcasing her prowess as a singer-songwriter. Both 'M.O.' and 'Giant' also entered Melon's HOT100 (30-day) chart, demonstrating a continued upward trend in popularity.
Beyond Korea and China, 'M.O.' charted in 8 countries on the US-based platform iTunes, while 'Giant' made its mark in 2 countries, highlighting Yuqi's growing global reach.
The title track 'M.O.' is a self-composed hip-hop piece rooted in 1990s boom-bap, infused with Yuqi's signature intense and unique energy. The song rawly expresses the instinctive motivation that drives her forward, conveying a message that unwavering conviction derived from intuition, rather than external gaze or rules, is the true force behind her actions.
Yuqi is set to deliver her first music show performance of 'M.O.' on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 18th.
Beyond her group activities with (G)I-DLE, Yuqi has actively participated in songwriting, composing, and producing for her solo endeavors, expanding her musical capabilities. This solo single is expected to serve as a crucial stepping stone, showcasing her multifaceted talent and unique musical vision. Many fans are eagerly anticipating her future activities.
