The group IVE showcased powerful music-streaming strength.
IVE (An Yujin·Gaeul·Ray·Jang Wonyoung·Reese·Eseo)'s pre-release double title track "BANG BANG" from their second full-length album REVIVE+ (Revive Plus) rose to No. 1 on Melon's weekly chart (March 9–March 15), holding the top spot for three consecutive weeks. It also proved strong streaming power by ranking No. 1 for four consecutive weeks on Genie and Bugs weekly charts.
IVE also topped Hanteo Chart's weekly world chart and social chart (March 9–March 15), revealing high interest and buzz from its global fandom. In particular, "BANG BANG" has dominated real-time, daily and weekly music charts, showing that its popularity has remained strong since its release.
"BANG BANG" swept major domestic music platforms after its release and became the first release this year to achieve a perfect all-kill (PAK), marking the group's sixth PAK in total. Its intense EDM sound, high-energy performance and IVE's distinctive confident energy captivated music fans, and addictive signature choreography such as the keyring dance, shoulder dance and ayaya dance drew attention. As a result, cover videos by domestic and overseas fans, as well as challenge participation by various artists and creators, have continued, expanding its influence.
The other double title track, "BLACKHOLE," is also continuing its success. With grand cinematic sounds and a self-empowering, hopeful message, the song drew listeners' empathy, and its flashy performances sparked interest on social media, helping it build a foundation for long-term success, including ranking No. 4 on Bugs' weekly chart.
With "BANG BANG" and "BLACKHOLE," IVE achieved nine music show wins, including a triple crown, and recently topped the girl group brand reputation rankings for March 2026 announced by the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute. With official music show activities having ended on the 8th, the record once again proved IVE's formidable music-streaming power and solid popularity.
IVE plans to continue its second world tour "SHOW WHAT I AM" from April across various countries and regions in Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania.
Ahead of the world tour, IVE will hold their fourth fan concert, 2026 IVE THE 4TH FAN CONCERT 'DIVE into IVE', at Inspire Arena in Incheon from the 21st to the 22nd.
