Alternative idol group ASP's latest single BA-BY has been selected by Spotify for its Top Japan Hits by Women editorial playlist. The playlist highlights songs performed by women from the Billboard JAPAN HOT100 chart, a joint project by Billboard and Spotify dedicated to closing the gender gap, that's accompanied with various articles on the topic.

BA-BY (pronounced 'Barbie;) sees the group twist the idea of "cuteness" into something both carefree and unhinged, in true ASP style. Its music video marks the debut of newest member iKO MUGENNOKANATA (formerly of BiS) and delivers the chaotic spirit fans expect, with the group’s twins beating each-other senseless AI-style, members’ faces being gleefully squashed by their bandmates, and a finale that sends ASP members diving off a bridge in a real-life bungee jump.

ASP brings a sense of alternative rebellion to the playlist, which features major names such as LiSA, BLACKPINK and CHANMINA. Check it out, and also make sure you don't miss ASP's UK Tour dates, all below:
