IVE Dominates 2025 Year-End Charts with Two Songs Reaching 200 Million Streams

K-pop group IVE has taken over the music market in 2025. According to data released by Circle Certification on the 12th, IVE’s title track from their first full-length album in 2023, “I AM,” reached 200 million streams and was certified 2x platinum. This marks their second song to hit 200 million streams, following their second single album “Love DIVE” in 2022, demonstrating their strong streaming power. IVE’s success spans multiple tracks. A total of five of their songs — including their debut track “ELEVEN” from 2021, their third single album “After Like” from 2022, and the pre-release track “Kitsch” from their first full-length album in 2023 — have each accumulated over 100 million streams. This cumulative success proves their broad appeal across generations. IVE’s influence is also evident in the 2025 year-end charts. The pre-release track “Level Heart” from their third mini-album “IVE EMPATHY” reached eighth place on the annual digital chart and ninth on the download chart, remaining in the TOP5 for eight consecutive weeks after release. After topping the digital monthly chart in February 2025, it continued to receive strong support and achieved long-term success. Towards the end of the year and beginning of 2026, it was recognized as an essential track for New Year’s playlists due to its significance. IVE secured a dominant presence in the 2025 Circle Chart TOP400 with eight of their songs. In the album category, “IVE EMPATHY” entered seventh place on the annual album chart, and four of their albums ranked within the TOP400, giving them seventh place in terms of album sales volume. Both their third mini-album and fourth mini-album, “IVE SECRET,” sold over 1 million copies each, continuing their record of being “7 consecutive million sellers.” IVE is set to release their second full-length album “REVIVE+” on the 23rd. The pre-release track “BANG BANG,” released on the 9th, topped Korea’s daily YouTube music video rankings and remained first in the rising popularity chart for three consecutive days. As of the 12th, it ranked second on Melon’s TOP100, first on Flo’s daily chart, and second on Bugs’ daily chart, also holding top positions on major streaming platforms such as Genie and VIBE. It entered the top ranks of the iTunes Top K-Pop Songs chart in 27 countries and regions and appeared on the top songs charts in 9 more countries and regions. Meanwhile, the “33rd Hanteo Music Awards 2025” will be held on the 15th at the KSPO Dome in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul. Featuring 23 artists including Kyuhyun, ATEEZ, and PENTAGON, this awards show selects winners based on album sales, streaming metrics, global fan voting, and expert evaluation scores. The event will be hosted by Lee Chan-won and Tiffany Young, a solo singer formerly part of Girls’ Generation, with the red carpet ceremony starting at 3:30 p.m. and the main awards show beginning at 6 p.m. IVE is expected to maintain this momentum in 2026 with new releases and world tours.
