Boasting the highest number of users among all music streaming services currently offered in South Korea, the Melon chart is infamous in the K-Pop world for being one of the most impenetrable charts of all.

Now, as we officially enter the second month of 2024, Melon's 'Top 100' chart has once again solidified its "chart wall", according to K-netizens.

As of February 1 at noon KST, these are the top 7 songs on Melon's 'Top 100' chart, which combines user activity from the past 24 hours as well as user activity from the past hour (streaming 40% + downloads 60%).

#1 - IU "Love Wins All"

#2 - Taeyeon "To. X"

#3 - Lim Jae Hyun "Rhapsody of Sadness"

#4 - LE SSERAFIM "Perfect Night"

#5 - RIIZE "Love 119"

#6 - Lee Mu Jin "Episode"

#7 - aespa "Drama"

Not to mention, in order for any recently released or upcoming songs to "penetrate" this wall and actually enter the top 7, they must first break through another wall - the "Hero Wall" (Trot singer Lim Young Woong currently occupies #8, #11, #14, #15, #16, #17, #20, #22, #23, #24, #26, etc). 

What songs/artists are predicted to take a jab at this top 7 "wall"?

Netizens commented,

"To get to the top 7, you have to break through the trot wall first lol."

"Let's see if (G)I-DLE can break into it, and of course when LE SSERAFIM and IU release new music next month, there should be some changes."

"I listen to all of those songs except for Lim Jae Hyun."

"Can G-Dragon hurry up and turn this chart upside down."

"Wow RIIZE really climbed up recently."

"IU is amazing for breaking straight into the charts and hitting number one."

"After the top 7 it's ALLLLL Lim Young Woong."

"I accept all of those songs except for Lim Jae Hyun. Who the hell is he."
