Le Sserafim Beats Its Own Record With A New Single
Le Sserafim is quickly leaving its mark on the charts in the United Kingdom with hit after hit after hit in rapid succession. The five-member K-pop act, which has built a passionate following around the world, is back with a new single, and it's already become another quick success. This time, the girl group's latest isn't just a charting win, it brings the musicians to a never-before-enjoyed peak.
'Hot,' the latest single from Le Sserafim, kicks off its time on a pair of tallies in the U.K. this frame. The upbeat track launches at No. 14 on both the Official Singles Sales and the Official Singles Downloads charts at the same time.
Now that 'Hot' has launched, Le Sserafim has collected a total of four appearances on the Official Singles Downloads chart. Over on the Official Singles Sales ranking, the group has performed even better, snagging five wins throughout its career.
While 'Hot' is the group's newest win, it also stands as its highest-rising release yet on the Official Singles Sales chart. That record used to be held by the group's previous success, 'Smart,' which peaked at No. 15 back in September 2024. 'Hot' narrowly edges it out by one position, grabbing the title of Le Sserafim's top seller in the U.K.
On the downloads-focused tally, 'Hot' ties Le Sserafim's personal best. 'Smart' also spent one frame at No. 14 on the Official Singles Downloads chart during its heyday last fall.
While 'Hot' dominates the downloads and sales charts this week, Le Sserafim's earlier hit 'Smart' hasn't disappeared completely. That months-old track still finds a home on the Official Physical Singles ranking, where it slips slightly from No. 20 to No. 28. This frame marks its sixth stay on the physical-only roster.
'Hot' serves as the title track from Le Sserafim's new EP of the same name. The short project features just five songs, with the title cut front and center. So far, the set hasn't charted in the U.K., as the focus seems to be on the single.

Warren: Colbert ‘may have been canceled in order to curry favor' with Trump
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said in a Wednesday opinion piece for Variety that comedian Stephen Colbert's show may have been canceled by CBS 'to curry favor' with President Trump. CBS announced the cancelation on Friday, days after Colbert, a frequent critic of Trump, had criticized a merger between Skydance and Paramount, CBS's parent company. The approval of federal regulatory agencies is necessary for the merger to go through. While CBS said the cancelation was strictly a financial issue and there have been reports that Colbert's show was losing money, a number of observers and Colbert himself have raised the possibility of politics. 'In the coming weeks, months, and years, all of us must show Trump that we see his march toward authoritarianism and we will not be silenced. Democrats need to embrace the fight against corruption as a top priority. Republicans need to grow a spine and get behind common-sense anti-corruption measures,' Warren said in her piece. 'All Americans need to speak up. Because yes, it's a shame that CBS canceled 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' but it is a threat to all of us that the top late-night show in the country may have been canceled in order to curry favor with a wannabe king,' she added. Colbert tore into his own network and its parent company, Paramount Global, due to a decision to end 'The Late Show,' an action CBS said last week is financially required but is resulting in widespread criticism. The late-night host accused his network of leaking financial figures to the press, alleging 'The Late Show' was losing upward of $40 million each year as a reason for getting rid of the 'Late Show' franchise. Colbert stated that $40 million 'is a big number.' 'I could see us losing $24 million,' he added. 'But where could Paramount possibly have spent the other $16 million … oh wait.' Colbert was referencing a settlement Paramount agreed to pay Trump earlier this month to subdue a lawsuit the president filed targeting CBS over a '60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024. 'Instead of fighting Trump on his 'meritless' lawsuit, Paramount settled, handing $16 million to Trump's presidential library. This looks like bribery in plain sight, and that's exactly what Stephen Colbert said on his show: '[T]his kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles: it's 'big, fat bribe.'' Warren said in her Variety article. 'Three days later, Paramount-owned CBS canceled Colbert's show. And Trump didn't waste a moment before celebrating the news,' she added.

Sandra Oh Curses CBS For Canceling Stephen Colbert
Sandra Oh called out Paramount and CBS during her visit to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on July 21 after news of its sudden cancellation. While the network said the cancellation was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," many celebrities, politicians, and fellow talk show hosts believe otherwise. The cancellation came only three days after Stephen publicly criticized CBS's parent company, Paramount, for a $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump after he accused 60 Minutes of "deceptive doctoring" in how they edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Paramount is also in the middle of a potential merger with Skydance, which requires the approval of Trump's administration. Sandra — who is currently in Smurfs and Aziz Ansari's Good Fortune — isn't the first celebrity to share their opinion on The Late Show cancellation, but she is the first to literally curse them. "Can I just start by saying something that I feel like probably everyone here and everyone who is so supportive outside wants to say — that I am so sorry and saddened and properly outraged for the cancellation of late night here. Not only for yourself and for this entire family who are here, but for what it means for what it is of where we are in our culture and what it means for free speech," she said. "So I just want to say sorry, and also if I can have your hand, to CBS and Paramount, a plague on both of your houses," she added, grabbing Stephen's hand. Stephen added, "I am very grateful," before Sandra said she had one more thing to say. "And also a pox on all those they serve." "Thank you, Sandra Oh. That's very nice of you to say," Stephen replied. "Very kind, Sandra." Sandra's curse might sound familiar because it's a catchphrase made famous in William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet. In Act 3, Scene 1, a duel occurs between Tybalt on behalf of the House of Capulet and Mercutio on behalf of the House of Montague. When Mercutio is defeated, he says, "A plague o' both your houses! / They have made worms' meat of me: I have it / And soundly too: your houses!" Spoiler alert for the almost 500-year-old play: the curse comes true when a quarantine stops Romeo from learning that Juliet is not dead but asleep. In the end, Romeo ends his life, and when Juliet awakes, she ends her life too. It makes perfect sense for the award-winning, theatrically trained actor who is set to star in Twelfth Night for Shakespeare in the Park later this year to recite a line from Romeo and Juliet to call out CBS and Paramount.
