IVE has once again solidified their position at the top of the charts.
IVE’s first full-length album, “I’ve IVE,” released on April 10th, has taken over the major Korean music charts, including all of the album’s tracks.
The title track “I AM” debuted at #1 on the major charts, alongside their pre-release track “Kitsch.” “I AM” started at #2 on the real-time chart of the Korean music streaming site Bugs and climbed to #3 on Melon TOP100 and #3 on Genie real-time chart. Additionally, the album tracks “Blue Blood” and “Lips” entered the Melon TOP100 chart at #50 and #93 respectively, drawing attention to IVE’s overall success.
After competing with their pre-release track “Kitsch” for the top spot, “I AM” steadily rose in rankings and surpassed “Kitsch” to reach #1 on the Genie and Bugs charts just two hours after its release. This feat set a record for all tracks on their first full-length album to enter the charts.
In addition to their new album, IVE’s strong music power is evident in their previous single album tracks, which continue to chart. Their debut song “ELEVEN” has stayed on Melon TOP100 for 70 weeks, reaching #4 at its highest, while their second single album title track “LOVE DIVE,” which topped the Melon annual chart last year, is still going strong at #1 after 53 weeks. Their third single album title track “After LIKE” has been receiving steady love from fans, staying in the top 20 on the charts for 33 weeks, reaching #1 at its highest.
IVE’s first full-length album, “I’ve IVE,” released eight months after their third single album “After LIKE,” showcases the group’s identity, emphasizing keywords such as “self-love,” “confidence,” and “freedom” with various musical variations.
The group’s pre-release track “Kitsch” won #1 on MBC’s “Show! Music Core” and SBS’s “Inkigayo” without any broadcast appearances, demonstrating their unique style and approach.
IVE plans to continue meeting fans through various activities, further establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the K-pop industry.
