Starship Entertainment-affiliated group IVE (IVE, An Yoo-jin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) has entered the main U.S. Billboard album chart with their mini-album "Looks Can Kill."

According to the latest charts (dated November 14) released by U.S. music publication Billboard, IVE recorded a No. 1 ranking on the "Emerging Artists" chart and re-entered the "Artist 100" chart at No. 66. With their mini-album "Looks Can Kill," released on the 26th of last month, they achieved a No. 126 ranking on the main album chart, the "Billboard 200."

"Looks Can Kill" ranked on multiple album charts, including No. 2 on "World Albums," No. 6 on "Top Album Sales," and No. 19 on "Independent Albums."

IVE, whose previous work, the second full-length album "REVIVE+," recorded No. 3 on "World Albums," No. 11 on "Top Album Sales," and No. 36 on "Independent Albums," improved their rankings in all three categories with this new release. The title track of the same name also entered the "Global (Excl. U.S.)" chart for two consecutive weeks.

Starship Entertainment stated, "IVE, which continues to grow in the North American music market, showcased an even larger tour scale through their second world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I AM,' which concluded successfully in August last month. They expanded their North American performances from six cities during their first world tour in 2024 to eight cities this year, meeting fans at arena-level venues for all shows and proving their solid global standing."

IVE is also continuing its strong performance domestically. In the chart for the first week of November released by Hanter Chart on the 9th, IVE secured the No. 1 spot on the World Chart for three consecutive weeks. With "Looks Can Kill," IVE topped both the Circle Chart weekly album chart and the retail album chart, achieving a double crown.

The long-running success of "BANG BANG," the title track from "REVIVE+," is also drawing attention. Having achieved a Perfect All-Kill (PAK) on major domestic music streaming charts and early established itself as a hit song, "BANG BANG" took the No. 1 spot on the monthly charts of Melon and Genie, maintaining its presence on the monthly chart for nine consecutive months.
