As it climbs nine spots to become the first-ever Top 10 by a K-pop girl group, Cupid's success proves the genre's ever-growing popularity in the UK.

In 2020, BLACKPINK scored their first-ever UK Top 40 single with Lady Gaga collaboration Sour Candy; with the track lifted from Gaga's Chromatica album peaking at Number 17.

The group also secured the first-ever UK Number 1 album by a K-pop girl group last year, when their second studio record Born Pink reached the summit.

More recently, members of K-pop boy band BTS have seen phenomenal UK success with their solo output.
