IVE’s “I AM” has officially surpassed 200 million streams, further cementing the group’s status as one of K-pop’s leading acts.
According to the latest Circle Chart certifications released on February 12, the title track “I AM” from IVE’s first full-length album 'I’ve IVE,' released in 2023, recorded over 200 million cumulative streams in the streaming category, earning a Double Platinum certification. With this milestone, IVE, comprised of An Yu Jin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Won Young, Liz, and Leeseo, now boasts their second 200-million-stream song following “LOVE DIVE,” which was released in 2022.
IVE’s record-breaking success has extended across their entire discography since their debut. Starting with their 2021 debut track “ELEVEN,” followed by 2022’s “After LIKE” and 2023 pre-release single “Kitsch,” each song surpassed 100 million streams, earning Platinum certifications. Meanwhile, both “LOVE DIVE” and “I AM” crossed the 200 million mark, once again proving the group’s broad, cross-generational appeal.
Their strong digital performance was also reflected in the 2025 annual Circle Chart rankings. The pre-release title track “REBEL HEART” from their third mini album 'IVE EMPATHY' ranked No. 8 on the annual digital chart and No. 9 on the download chart, securing top-tier positions. The track remained in the Top 5 of the digital chart for eight consecutive weeks following its release and went on to claim No. 1 on the February 2025 monthly digital chart. It continued to enjoy steady popularity throughout the year, achieving long-term chart success. Notably, its meaningful lyrics resonated with listeners during the year-end and New Year season, earning it recognition as a “must-have New Year playlist” favorite.
IVE’s dominance was evident across key indicators. In the Artist Circle Index share survey, the group placed eight songs within the Top 400 of the 2025 annual chart, demonstrating an overwhelming digital share. In the album category, IVE EMPATHY ranked No. 7 on the annual album chart, while a total of four of their albums landed within the Top 400, placing IVE seventh overall in album sales share. Both their third mini album and fourth mini album, 'IVE SECRET,' released last year, each surpassed 1 million copies in cumulative sales, extending their record to seven consecutive million-selling releases.
Having consistently built meaningful achievements each year since their debut, IVE is expected to maintain their momentum in 2026 with new releases and a world tour. Ahead of the official release of their second full-length album 'REVIVE+' on February 23, the pre-release track “BANG BANG,” unveiled on February 9, topped YouTube Korea’s daily trending music video chart on February 10 and maintained the No. 1 spot on the trending music chart for three consecutive days, underscoring its strong buzz.

Internationally, the track entered the top ranks of the iTunes Top K-pop Song chart in 27 countries and regions and charted highly on the overall Top Song chart in nine countries and regions, heating up anticipation for their comeback.
Meanwhile, IVE is actively promoting “BANG BANG” while ramping up full-scale promotions for their upcoming second studio album.
