Monsta X make their debut on Billboard's Pop Songs airplay chart this week as "Who Do U Love?" featuring French Montana enters at No. 39. This marks just the second-ever Korean group, and third-ever K-pop act, to enter the Top 40 radio chart. The septet follow only PSY (who has one entry to date when "Gangnam Style" hit No. 10 in 2012, the highest placement yet for a K-pop artist) and BTS (who have four entries, recently peaking at No. 22 with "Boy With Luv" earlier this year).

The Pop Songs chart measures total weekly plays, as tabulated by Nielsen Music, among its reporting panel of 168 mainstream top 40 stations.

Leaders in plays for the song for this past week, ending Aug. 11, according to Nielsen Music, include Radio Disney (with 67 plays), Sirius XM Venus (40 plays) and WBBM-FM, B96, Chicago (28).

This past week also saw Monsta X wrap an important week of stateside visibility. Their U.S. tour closed with a sold-out show at the Staples Center and the band performed at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, making them first K-pop act to appear on the show.
