Group IVE (IVE An Yoo-jin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Lee, Liz, and Lee Seo) has topped the Japanese charts.

According to the latest chart released by Oricon Japan on the 3rd, IVE's fourth Japanese album 'LUCID DREAM' claimed the No. 1 spot on the 'Oricon Weekly Combined Album Ranking.' This marks the group's third consecutive achievement on this chart.

This is the first time since August 11 last year, when IVE topped the chart with their third Japanese album 'Be Alright,' that a foreign female artist has reached No. 1 on this ranking, a span of approximately 10 months.

IVE also secured the No. 1 position on the 'Oricon Weekly Album Ranking,' achieving a double crown in the weekly music charts. With 126,301 weekly points, they also set the highest record for a foreign female artist this year.

On the Billboard Japan 'Weekly Album Sales' chart released today (collection period: May 25–31), 'LUCID DREAM' recorded sales of 139,278 copies, securing the No. 1 spot.

The Japanese newspaper 'LUCID DREAM' includes three Japanese original tracks: the title song 'LUCID DREAM,' 'Fashion,' and 'JIGSAW,' along with the double title tracks 'REBEL HEART' and 'ATTITUDE' from last year's mini-album 'IVE EMPATHY,' and the Japanese version of the track 'Thank U,' totaling six songs.

Starship Entertainment, IVE's agency, stated, "Following IVE's No. 1 on Billboard Japan's 'Top Album Sales' with 'Be Alright' last year, they surpassed 200 million cumulative streams on Billboard Japan's streaming chart with 'After LIKE.' With this new album, IVE is demonstrating a clear presence on major Japanese charts. We ask you to watch how far the IVE phenomenon will expand."

Meanwhile, IVE is currently on their second world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I AM.' On the 24th, they will perform at Tokyo Dome.
