IVE‘s ’BANG BANG' Dominates Charts: How the K-Pop Sensation Achieved Perfect All-Kill in 2026

[Sports Today reporter Jeong Ye-won] The K-pop group IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Leeseo) continues to dominate the charts even after concluding their promotional activities.

According to multiple streaming charts, the pre-release double title track "BANG BANG" from IVE's second full-length album REVIVE+ claimed No. 1 on Melon's weekly chart for March 2–8, marking its second consecutive week at the summit. The single also led Genie and Bugs' weekly charts for three straight weeks, underscoring its persistent streaming momentum. Simultaneously, IVE topped YouTube Korea's weekly popular artists chart for Feb. 27–March 5, holding the No. 1 spot for a fourth consecutive week.

IVE's presence was also prominent on Hanteo Chart. The group ranked No. 1 on Hanteo's World Chart and Social Chart for February. Following a No. 1 placement on the weekly World Chart for March 2–8, "BANG BANG" also secured the top spot on the weekly digital chart, demonstrating the group's robust influence across multiple metrics.

Released as a pre-single on Feb. 9, "BANG BANG" achieved a perfect all-kill (PAK) across major domestic music charts — the first release this year to do so — and marked the group's sixth PAK to date.

The album's success is driven by the dual appeal of its two title tracks. While "BANG BANG" hooked listeners with its EDM production and addictive choreography, the other title track, "BLACKHOLE," has built momentum with its sweeping cinematic sound and a message that feels both assertive and hopeful. "BLACKHOLE" landed at No. 5 on Bugs' weekly chart and reached No. 11 on Melon, putting it on a trajectory for sustained success.

During this promotion cycle, IVE swept eight music show trophies with "BANG BANG" and "BLACKHOLE," closing out their broadcast promotions on a high note. With charts both domestic and international reflecting the ongoing IVE phenomenon, the group is set to continue their second world tour, SHOW WHAT I AM, across Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania beginning in April.

Ahead of the world tour, IVE will hold their 2026 fan concert, 2026 IVE THE 4TH FAN CONCERT 'DIVE into IVE,' at Incheon Inspire Arena on March 21–22 to meet fans in person.
