IVE reaches number one on Billboard Emerging Artists chart

IVE topped the Billboard Emerging Artists chart on November 14, re-entering the Artist 100 at number 66 following the release of their mini album 'Looks Can Kill'. The album also reached number 2 on the World Albums chart and number 6 on Top Album Sales.

The group IVE has achieved the feat of taking the top spot on the Emerging Artists chart in the latest charts released by the American music publication Billboard on November 14. Alongside this, they demonstrated their power as a global trend by re-entering the main artist chart, Artist 100, at number 66.

The mini album 'Looks Can Kill', released on the 26th of last month, has also settled into several major album charts, including entering the Billboard 200 at number 126, reaching number 2 on the World Albums chart, number 6 on Top Album Sales, and number 19 on Independent Albums. Compared to their previous second full-length album, the rankings in all major categories have risen sharply, proving their intense growth in the North American market.

The title track of the same name is also showing uncooled popularity by appearing on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for two consecutive weeks. In the domestic music industry, IVE took first place for three consecutive weeks on the Hanteo Chart's first week of November World Chart with 'Looks Can Kill', and achieved two crowns by sweeping the top positions on the Circle Chart weekly album chart and retail album chart.

The previous title track 'BANG BANG' has established itself as an unrivaled long-running hit, following a perfect all-kill on major domestic music charts and sweeping the number one spots on the Melon and genie monthly charts, ranking in the upper tiers for nine consecutive months. IVE successfully completed their second world tour North American performances this year and plans to continue the 2006 syndrome through diverse activities spanning both domestic and international stages.
