Trivia[]
- A few hours after its release, “365” charted at #1 on iTunes’ Top Songs chart for the US. This made LOONA the second K-pop girl group to peak at #1 on US iTunes’ Top Songs chart (following after BLACKPINK).[7]
- This also made LOONA the first K-pop girl group (and the second girl group in general) to reach #1 on both US iTunes’ Top Songs and Albums chart (after peaking at #1 for the Albums chart with [X X] in October). The only other girl group to do this was Destiny’s Child.
- LOONA told the lyricist what messages they wanted to transmit to the fans, Orbits, through this song.
