PLAVE
The virtual idol group PLAVE proved its presence in the global market by entering the U.S. Billboard charts.
According to the Billboard charts on April 28, local time, PLAVE‘s fourth mini-album, “CALIGO PT.2”, entered the “BILLBOARD 200” main album chart dated May 2 at 145th place for the first time.
In addition, PLAVE inscribed its name for the first time at 75th place on another major chart, the “BILLBOARD ARTIST 100”, thus recording a significant result in the artist influence index.
In the “BILLBOARD GLOBAL (EXCL. U.S.)” chart, PLAVE‘s tracks including the title song of this album “Born savage”, as well as “그런 것 같아”, “흥흥흥”, and “이 밤을 빌려 말해요” entered simultaneously. Aside from this, they obtained consistent results in other Billboard charts such as 2nd place on “EMERGING ARTISTS” and the “TOP ALBUM SALES”, proving the high interest of global listeners.
In particular, this performance is the result of a synergy with the passionate reaction in Korea. Immediately after its release on the 13th, the album settled at 2nd place on the TOP100 chart of the domestic music site MELON, then broke its own record by recording more than 1.25 million copies in first-week sales according to HANTEO CHART figures.
PLAVE‘s fourth mini-album, “CALIGO PT.2”, is a work containing a narrative that follows “CALIGO PT.1” released in February of last year. While concluding a narration within a universe that has become more intense, it announces new possibilities. To this is added an expanded musical spectrum with songs of varied genres and a more mature charm.
After successfully completing its first Asian tour by selling out all seats for the “2025 PLAVE ASIA TOUR DASH: QUANTUM LEAP ENCORE” held at GOCHEOK SKY DOME last November, PLAVE continues its growth by expanding its radius of action beyond Korea toward the global stage.
