WOODZ just made history. According to Soompi, the K-pop artist's hit track "Drowning" has officially become the first song ever to spend 70 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of Melon's Top 100 chart, Korea's largest music streaming service.
Seventy straight weeks is over a year and a half of continuous presence on the platform that matters most in the Korean music industry.
Melon's Top 100 is the gold standard for Korean music success—streaming numbers there can make or break careers. For "Drowning" to maintain a top 10 position week after week, month after month, reflects the track's appeal and WOODZ's fanbase.
WOODZ (real name Cho Seung Youn) has been building a career as a solo artist and producer. This Melon record shows he has reached the highest tier of the industry. The consistency of "Drowning"'s chart performance suggests it has become a streaming staple—the kind of song people return to repeatedly, whether discovering it for the first time or revisiting it.
In a K-pop landscape where chart dominance is brutally competitive and trends shift weekly, holding down the top 10 for this long is practically unheard of. Previous record-holders must be scrambling right now.
This milestone belongs to WOODZ, but it is also a statement about the track itself. "Drowning" clearly resonates beyond typical K-pop cycles, proving it has staying power beyond the initial release.
Fans are celebrating the achievement across social media, with many calling it a well-deserved recognition of WOODZ's artistry and work ethic. As the singer continues his momentum, "Drowning" is not going anywhere.
