IVE have officially landed on Billboard’s main album chart. The group’s new mini album, ‘Looks Can Kill,’ debuted at No. 126 on the Billboard 200 chart dated November 14, marking IVE’s first appearance on the chart since their debut in December 2021.
The album made noise across Billboard’s other charts, too. IVE took No. 1 on the Emerging Artists chart and re-entered the Artist 100 at No. 66, while ‘Looks Can Kill’ landed at No. 2 on World Albums, No. 6 on Top Album Sales, and No. 19 on Independent Albums.
Those numbers are a clear step up from the group’s last release. Their second full album, ‘REVIVE+,’ reached No. 3 on World Albums, No. 11 on Top Album Sales, and No. 36 on Independent Albums, so IVE improved on all three this time. The title track ‘Looks Can Kill’ also stayed on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a second straight week.
Released on October 26 through Starship Entertainment, the album has been just as strong at home. It topped both Circle Chart’s weekly album chart and retail album chart, and IVE held No. 1 on Hanteo’s World Chart for the third week in a row.
The milestone caps off a huge year for An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo. Their second world tour, ‘SHOW WHAT I AM,’ wrapped in August after expanding the group’s North American run from six cities in 2024 to eight, all in arena-sized venues.
