HYBE produced five of the world's 20 best-selling albums last year, proving its enormous influence in the global music market.

According to the 2025 "Global Album Sales Chart" released by the International Music Industry Association (IFPI) on the 21st, albums of five Hive Music Group label artists, including SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, &TEAM, and Voynextdoor, entered the rankings. The chart comprehensively compiles the sales of physical albums such as CDs and vinyl (LPs) and the number of paid full album downloads and releases up to the 20th place.

Seventeen of Pledis Entertainment ranked third on the "Global Album Sales Chart" with its fifth full-length album "HAPPY BURSTDAY," marking the fifth consecutive year of entering the "Top 5." Only two K-pop artists, BTS (2018-2022) and Seventeen, have placed albums in the "Top 5" for five consecutive years on the chart ranked by IFPI based on the same aggregate. On the "Global Album Chart," which includes streaming figures, "HAPPY BURSTDAY" ranked 12th.

Billifrap's ENHYPEN and Big Hit Music's TOMORROW X TOGETHER have entered the "Global Album Sales Chart" side by side for the fourth consecutive year, following two teams. ENHYPEN ranked 4th on the "Global Album Sales Chart" and 16th on the "Global Album Chart" with its 6th mini album "DESIRE: UNLEASH". Their third double million seller, DESIRE: UNLEASH, was loved worldwide, especially in the United States, the home of pop, with the fourth-largest CD sales last year.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER's performance is also remarkable. Their fourth full-length album, "The Stars: Together," ranked 6th on the "Global Album Sales Chart." The album, which marked the end of the "Starfield" series, was praised by major foreign media as "the pinnacle of creation" at the time of its release, and quickly ranked third in the U.S. Billboard 200, becoming a huge hit as it charted for four consecutive weeks.

YX Label's &TEAM ranked 13th with its first Korean mini album "Back to Life," which was released in October last year. It is their first entry into the "Global Album Sales Chart." "Back to Life" ranked with only about two months of sales after its release, proving &TEAM's steep growth. Last year, those who produced million sellers in Korea and Japan, respectively, will release their third Japanese mini-album "We On Fire" on April 21 and continue their challenge to the global stage.

KOZ Entertainment's Boy Next Door also entered the 'Global Album Sales Chart' for the first time since its debut. Their fourth mini album "No Genre" ranked 18th. The album, which contains the six members' determination to do the music they want to do without being bound by the frame and format, achieved more than 1.16 million initial sales (the number of albums sold for a week immediately after its release), breaking the team's own record.

In Hive's multi-label system, which respects the complete independence and autonomy of the creative process, several artists who shine stand out. Through a multi-label system, Hive is realizing its idea to create the foundation for the eventual birth and success of various K-pop creators and to continue K-pop into a sustainable industry by constantly providing good music and content.
