BABYMONSTER scores its first No. 1 on the YouTube Jamaica Daily chart for the week ending June 18, 2026, as “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” rockets four places to the summit. The K-pop sensation amassed 457,392 local streams, posting the week’s largest gain with an increase of 218,676 plays.

“SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” is the second single from their third EP titled by Choom released by YG Entertainment on June 8, 2026. The Gen-Z song is currently the 29th most viewed music video globally with almost 90 million views. It is No. 1 on 10 other countries on YouTube including Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bolivia, Ecuador, Honduras, Indonesia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Vietnam.

Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER will kick off its second world tour from June 26 to 28 at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. A total of 27 performances across 18 cities, including six cities in Japan, eight cities in Asia, and three cities in Oceania, are scheduled, with additional dates in Europe, North America, and South America to be announced later.

Back on YouTube Jamaica, after debuting at No. 1 last week, Negen’s “Adios” slips to No. 2 with 375,818 streams despite remaining one of the platform’s most-streamed titles. TREASURE’s “IF I” holds steady at No. 3, extending its strong run with 322,422 streams.

Shawn Storm’s “Memories” featuring Richboss Records falls from No. 2 to No. 4, while Valiant’s “Woii” climbs one spot to complete the Top 5.

One of the week’s biggest movers comes from Bad Gyal Jade, whose “1 Don” surges eight positions to No. 6 with 185,359 streams. Merkz also delivers a major gain as “Retard” jumps from No. 15 to No. 8, adding more than 52,000 streams week-over-week.

Further down the chart, X Kappe earns a Top 10 breakthrough as “Koolie Gyal” vaults ten places to No. 10, fueled by a 64,426-stream increase. Meanwhile, reggae icon Stephen Marley continues to show staying power, with “Hills Of St. Ann” rising to No. 11 in its fifth week on the chart.

Former chart-toppers continue to linger throughout the Top 20. Vybz Kartel places two songs inside the region, with “God and Time” at No. 13 and “Victory” climbing to No. 15. Masicka’s three-week No. 1 hit “Slip & Slide” remains in the mix at No. 16 during its eighth week.

The lower half of the chart sees a wave of returning entries. General Degree’s classic “She Love Fi Wine” re-enters at No. 17, followed by Merkz’s “Rich Mf” at No. 18, Feloni19’s “How Often” at No. 19, and Medz Boss’ “Just Do It” at No. 20.

Despite BABYMONSTER’s takeover at the top, Jamaican dancehall remains the dominant force on the chart, occupying the majority of positions and continuing to drive strong engagement across the island’s YouTube audience.
