This is most likely due to the hit songs IU released in 2021. On January 27, 2021, IU released the single "Celebrity" as a pre-release to her album, "LILAC." The said album was then released on March 25, 2021, and was an immediate commercial success. All the songs in the album charted in the top 30 of the Gaon Digital chart, and "LILAC" debuted at the top of the Gaon Album Chart.
