IVE’s 6th Win — Why “BANG BANG” Won’t Stop Dominating
“BANG BANG” was released as a pre-release single ahead of IVE’s full comeback, and it has absolutely refused to leave the top of music show charts. Scoring 7,205 points on Music Core against strong competitors KiiiKiii’s “404 (New Era)” and Hearts2Hearts’ “RUDE!”, IVE’s six-peat reflects both the strength of the song and the group’s massive, dedicated fanbase (DIVE) rallying behind every chart cycle.
For a pre-release track to accumulate six first-place trophies is a significant achievement — and it signals that IVE’s full comeback, whenever it drops, will be one of the most anticipated K-Pop releases of 2026.
