IVE Conquers Music Charts at Home and Abroad, Achieves Long-Term Presence on US Billboard

Group IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Riz, Lee Seo) continues to dominate both domestic and international music charts even after concluding their official activities.

On April 30, IVE wrapped up their successful promotion for their first full-length album 'I've IVE.' With their double title tracks 'I AM' and 'Kitsch,' the group has reaffirmed their stronghold on the top spots of major domestic music charts.

Just two hours after its release, 'I AM' claimed the number one spot on Genie's real-time chart, pushing 'Kitsch' to second place. As of 1 PM on May 10, KST, 'I AM' remains at the top of the real-time chart. 'I AM' has also held the number one position on the Melon TOP 100 chart for 25 consecutive days, overtaking 'Kitsch' just six days after its release. 'Kitsch' continues its strong performance, ranking third on both Melon and Genie charts.

On Melon and Genie's weekly charts (May 1st to May 7th), 'I AM' and 'Kitsch' took the first and second spots, respectively, while 'I AM' claimed first place and 'Kitsch' took third place on Bugs' weekly chart.

Internationally, IVE has showcased their power with their double title tracks 'I AM' and 'Kitsch.' According to the latest chart update (dated May 13th) released by US music magazine Billboard, both songs have entered the 'Billboard Global 200' and 'Billboard Global Excl. U.S.' charts.

'I AM,' which has entered the Billboard chart for four consecutive weeks, ranked 34th on the 'Billboard Global 200' chart and 17th on the 'Billboard Global Excl. U.S.' chart. 'Kitsch,' on the other hand, has spent five weeks on the 'Billboard Global 200' chart, ranking 134th, and secured the 62nd spot on the 'Billboard Global Excl. U.S.' chart for six consecutive weeks.

IVE is set to release their first Japanese album 'WAVE' on May 31, marking their official entry into global activities.
