PLAVE
PLAVE is the first virtual artist to receive the honorary diploma of the “Melon Weekly Popularity Award”.
Kakao Entertainment’s music platform Melon reported on May 8 that PLAVE became the first virtual artist to become an honorary graduate of the Melon Weekly Popularity Award, and released a photo of the trophy via Melon Fantalk and its official SNS.
The Melon Weekly Popularity Award is a direct voting service that selects the top spot each week through music appreciation rankings and user voting, with 20 popular songs nominated within 28 days of release. Any Melon member can participate, and a real trophy is awarded to the winning artist. If you win the Weekly Popularity Award for four consecutive weeks, they will receive the honor of an “honorary diploma”.
Thanks to the explosive response from fans, PLAVE became a popular group by winning the Melon Weekly Popularity Award for four consecutive weeks from the 1st to the 4th week of March. It is even more eye-catching as it is the first time that a virtual artist has won the Melon Weekly Popularity Award, “Honorary Graduation”, which was given to top K-pop artists such as BTS, NCT DREAM and Seventeen. This is the second record after IU in February this year.
From his first mini-album “ASTERUM: The shape of things to come“, to his digital single “Merry PLLISTmas” and his second mini-album “ASTERUM: 134-1” at the Hall of Melon, PLAVE has proven his buzz by being on “Album Division (Millions Album)” three times in a row, celebrating albums that reached over 1 million streams within 24 hours of release.
In particular, their second mini album, “ASTERUM: 134-1“, released in February, recorded good performances on various album charts and music charts, and became the first virtual idol group to top the list. terrestrial music broadcasting.
As PLAVE achieves career highs one after another, with the completion of their first fan concert “Hello, Asterum!” Last month, more attention was focused on its future performance.
