ICONIC BY MISTAKE Holds on Billboard Hot 100 for Second Week at No. 43

LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE’s collaboration single “ICONIC BY MISTAKE” remained on the Billboard Hot 100 for a second consecutive week, ranking No. 43 on the Billboard chart dated July 4, 2026. The track had entered the Hot 100 one week earlier at No. 38, marking the highest Hot 100 placement this year for a K-pop girl group song, based on the cited report.¹²

The result extends the chart run for a project that brought together three HYBE girl groups across labels. Released on June 12, 2026, “ICONIC BY MISTAKE” was described at launch as an alternative pop song with a strong beat and irregular sounds, and the three teams unveiled their first live stage on Mnet’s “M Countdown” one day before the official release.³

ICONIC BY MISTAKE Hot 100 Performance

The latest Hot 100 position puts “ICONIC BY MISTAKE” among the HYBE-related tracks continuing to appear on major U.S. charts in early July. Yonhap News Agency reported on July 1, 2026, that the single stood at No. 43 on the latest Hot 100, while also noting KATSEYE’s “Pinky Up” at No. 97 on the same chart.⁴

The collaboration’s first-week No. 38 Hot 100 debut established its strongest U.S. singles chart position so far. That debut followed the June 12 release and was paired with an early international result in the United Kingdom, where the song reached No. 22 on the Official Singles Chart Top 100.²

The song also climbed on Billboard’s Global 200, reaching No. 23 on the chart dated July 4, 2026, which Sports Kyunghyang via Daum described as the track’s own highest ranking on that chart. The same report said “ICONIC BY MISTAKE” appeared on Spotify’s country and regional Weekly Top Songs charts in 46 countries and regions.¹

U.K. and Spotify Results Broaden the Chart Picture

Beyond the U.S. singles chart, “ICONIC BY MISTAKE” posted a No. 22 debut on the U.K. Official Singles Chart Top 100 for the June 19-25, 2026 period. Newsis also reported that the song had previously reached No. 3 on the U.K. Official Trending Chart before that singles chart debut.⁵

Spotify data cited by Newsis placed the song at No. 25 on the platform’s Weekly Top Songs Global chart. The same June 26 report said the music video had surpassed 44 million views within two weeks of release.⁶

These figures show the single’s chart activity across several measurement systems: Billboard’s U.S. Hot 100, Billboard’s Global 200, the U.K. Official Singles Chart Top 100, and Spotify’s weekly global and country-level song charts. The available source material does not provide additional breakdowns by sales, streaming, airplay or market-by-market totals.

Three HYBE Groups in One Release

“ICONIC BY MISTAKE” was presented as a special collaboration among LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE. At release, LE SSERAFIM said in a press statement, “We are truly happy that our long-held wish to stand on stage together has finally come true.”³

HYBE framed the project as a cross-artist and cross-label effort. In a press statement cited after the Hot 100 debut, the company said, “We are grateful that this project, prepared as a gift to expand boundaries between artists and labels,” referring to the collaboration’s purpose and reception.²

Newsis also cited Lee Gyu-tag, a professor at George Mason University Korea, who said the groups maintained their identities while naturally harmonizing under the “umbrella” of a multi-label structure.⁶

The second-week Hot 100 position confirms that “ICONIC BY MISTAKE” did not end its U.S. chart activity with its debut week. With a No. 43 ranking on the July 4, 2026 Billboard Hot 100, a No. 23 Global 200 peak, a No. 22 U.K. singles chart debut and reported Spotify placements across 46 countries and regions, the collaboration remains documented as a multi-chart release for LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE.
