Twice's single "The Feels" rebounded on the latest edition of the most-consumed tunes in the world, after recently slipping to No. 133 on the Global 200 chart. It's great for the girl group that their release is getting better, but it's not the slot it sits in that's most impressive. The amount of time the cut has been present anywhere on the list is worth noting, as the band has broken out of a tie with themselves for a specific and important bit of history.

The Feels is the most popular song on the planet using streaming and sales data, and has been on the chart for 16 weeks. That is a long stretch of time for any tune, and it is historic when looking at the cuts pushed by acts from South Korea.

Twice passes themselves, and the hit single becomes the second-longest-charting tune by a South Korean girl group in the ranking. The tally has only been around a little more than a year, but already the many-membered vocal outfit has shown that they know how to keep it going strong for months at a time.

Blackpink is the only South Korean girl group that has spent more time on the Global 200 than Twice. The group spent 34 frames somewhere on the list before falling off. It's the best-performing song by a female act from the Asian nation, but it's the fourth-longest-running ever by a K-pop outfit, coming in behind only singles by BTS and Pinkfong.

The Feels was the same level as Twice's previous hit, I Can't Stop Me. It is still a huge hit for the band, even though it has been demoted slightly when comparing tunes by female-fronted K-pop acts.

It looks like The Feels will continue to chart well on the Global 200 for a few more weeks, but it still has a long way to go before it matches How You Like That. Will Twice be able to hit that mark? It's possible, but it's not certain at the moment.
