Ranks 20 through 50 on the April 20 chart tell a story of attrition. Many songs here debuted in the top 10 just one or two weeks ago, but have since fallen because their streams came primarily from repeat plays by a small, dedicated fanbase rather than broad public discovery.

The chemistry between Park Won’s husky tone and Suzy’s soft, airy vocals created a soundscape that was perfect for driving or walking under cherry blossoms. Their entry into the Top 10 on the April 20 chart highlighted the Korean public's undying love for the "Spring Bloom" concept—a marketing strategy where songs are released specifically to become the background music for the season.
