88rising artists BIBI and Jackson Wang are celebrating a historic moment in their careers, as hit single, “Feeling Lucky,” reaches No. 29 on the US Pop Radio charts. This is the first time a Chinese/Korean collaboration has reached the Pop Radio charts in the US with a strong Top 40 debut, continuing to rise in the Top 30. The duo first debuted the track with an explosive surprise performance at Coachella 2024, later releasing the single and music video on April 26th.
“Feeling Lucky” has had strong proliferation on streaming platforms as well, further demonstrating its impact and resonation with fans. Not only is the song up 32% across all on-demand streaming services in the US, but it has also hit new highs on daily domestic streams and Shazams in the last week, crossing 250k daily streams on Spotify, and garnering 1.6 million streams overall and still trending upward.
BIBI continues an impressive streak with "Feeling Lucky," having previously topped the charts in Korea with "Bam Yang Gang" and broken into the US Top 40, a first for a Korean female solo act. Meanwhile, Jackson Wang is riding high from the success of his latest album, 'MAGIC MAN,' which debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 & reached No. 3 in Top Album Sales, including a recent sold-out world tour. Together, they're setting the stage for a major global crossover.
