The group IVE proved a powerful presence by appearing on the U.S. Billboard charts after achieving a domestic major music chart "PerfecT all-kill."
On Feb. 24 (local time), according to the latest chart released by U.S. music outlet Billboard (Feb. 28 issue), IVE's second full-length album REVIVE+'s pre-release double title track BANG BANG ranked 38 on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart. At the same time, it ranked 81 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and 7 on the World Digital Song Sales chart, ranking in the top tier for a second consecutive week and proving a solid global foothold.
Their performance on regional charts was also notable. BANG BANG rose to No. 3 on Billboard Korea Hot 100 and No. 5 on Global K-pop Songs, and reached No. 21 on Billboard Japan Hot 100. In addition, it entered top positions in three Asian regions including Korea and Japan, demonstrating global influence.
These global achievements are creating synergy with intense domestic popularity. On Feb. 24, BANG BANG swept No. 1 on real-time and daily charts, TOP100, and others across major domestic music platforms Melon, Genie, Flo, Vibe and Bugs, achieving a "PerfecT all-kill (PAK)," and as of 9 a.m. on the 25th it continued to hold the top spot. This is significant as it is the first record among songs released in 2026 and IVE's sixth PerfecT all-kill overall.
BANG BANG, which carries a message of self-directed empowerment that carves out one's own path without being swayed by others' views, has been loved for its intense EDM sound and intuitive performance. In particular, the challenge craze on short-form platforms such as TikTok added momentum to rises on domestic and international charts, underpinning IVE's formidable streaming power.
Through this second full-length album, IVE presented a narrative expanded from "I" to "we," earning acclaim from both the public and critics. With entry onto the Billboard charts and a domestic PerfecT all-kill record written simultaneously, global fans' attention is focused on the group's future moves.
IVE plans to communicate with fans worldwide through music shows and various content with the title track BLACKHOLE.
