IVE's 'Looks Can Kill' Enters Billboard 200 at No. 126
K-POP girl group IVE has landed on Billboard's main album chart with its new EP, "Looks Can Kill." The EP entered the Billboard 200 at No. 126 on the chart dated Nov. 14.
The group also did well on Billboard's artist charts that week. According to the U.S. music publication, IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz and Leeseo) took No. 1 on the Emerging Artists chart. It also returned to the Artist 100 at No. 66.
"Looks Can Kill," released Oct. 26, showed up on several other album charts too. It reached No. 2 on World Albums, No. 6 on Top Album Sales and No. 19 on Independent Albums.
Those results beat the group's last effort. IVE's second studio album, "REVIVE+," reached No. 3 on World Albums, No. 11 on Top Album Sales and No. 36 on Independent Albums. The new EP placed higher on all three.
The title track, which shares its name with the EP, is also charting. "Looks Can Kill" has appeared on the Global Excl. U.S. chart for two weeks in a row.
IVE has been growing its live presence in North America as well. The group's second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM," wrapped in August after stops in eight North American cities. That is two more than the six cities it played on its first world tour in 2024.
Every North American show on the latest tour took place in an arena.
Higher chart spots and bigger rooms point in the same direction. For IVE, the U.S. market is no longer a side stop. It is becoming a place where the group keeps climbing.
