The group IVE and member U-Know swept Greater China music charts, once again proving their formidable global influence.
According to Tencent Music Entertainment (TME)'s "2026 first-half Korea chart" released on the 28th, IVE received the honor of being named "best group." The pre-release digital single released in January, "Mono (Feat. skaiwater)," swept both "best song" and "high-scoring song TOP10."
The song, which carries an assertive message about breaking free from others' gaze, not only achieved a triple crown on domestic terrestrial broadcasters but also topped local charts, and the title track "Gimme Dat Love" from the mini ninth album We made, released earlier this month, also dominated QQ Music's digital album institutional sector, demonstrating solid popularity.
U-Know's work as a solo artist is also dazzling. U-Know took first place in the "best solo singer" institutional sector on this TME chart. In particular, the solo song released in March last year, "Radio (Dum-Dum)," ranked first in most streams and has remained in the top 10 for 71 consecutive weeks on Tencent Music's Korea chart, enjoying a long run.
In addition, through consistent musical work, U-Know became the first foreign female idol to become a full member of the Korea Music Copyright Association and was selected as TME's "2026 woman of the year," further solidifying her position as a singer-songwriter.
Meanwhile, having warmed up by dominating Asian charts, IVE will take the stage at the global major music festival Lollapalooza in Chicago, U.S., on the 31st (local time).
