IVE's pre‑release single "BANG BANG" has topped YouTube's Korean music‑trending chart and logged strong early entries on major domestic and global charts as the group readies its second full album, REVIVE+.
The "BANG BANG" music video debuted at No. 1 on YouTube Korea's music‑trending chart just hours after its release on Feb. 9, 2026, and quickly reached No. 2 on YouTube's global music‑video trending chart.
It also hit No. 1 on local music‑trending charts in nine countries and regions, including South Korea, Germany, Japan, Indonesia, Chile, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan, while entering the Top 5 of music‑video trending charts in a total of 21 markets.
On Korean streaming platforms, "BANG BANG" rose to No. 6 on Melon's TOP100 chart as of 10 a.m. on Feb. 10, backed by rapid growth in streams and real‑time listeners, according to allkpop.
The track also ranked No. 1 on Melon, Bugs, and Vibe's HOT100, real‑time, and domestic rising charts, with Genie's real‑time chart placing it at No. 7, giving IVE a strong digital start ahead of the REVIVE+ era.
The song is built on an EDM and electronic sound, with a Western‑swing‑inspired intro and a driving beat that publishers describe as a high‑energy opener meant to kick off the album's narrative.
Internationally, "BANG BANG" entered the Top 10 of the iTunes K‑pop Top Songs chart in 23 countries and regions, including Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Turkey, and Thailand. It also charted on the overall iTunes Top Songs chart in 18 territories, bringing its total charting reach to 26 markets, which highlights IVE's continued global appeal, Koreaboo reported.
"BANG BANG" is marketed as the seventh Korean digital single and the lead‑in track for REVIVE+, with teasers and concept films hinting at a more performance‑driven, confident concept compared with the group's earlier "elegant high‑teen" image.
"BANG BANG" serves as the pre‑release single for IVE's second full album, REVIVE+, which is scheduled to drop on Feb. 23, 2026, under Starship Entertainment.
The album is expected to feature a mix of group tracks and solo songs, including "Odd" (Gaeul solo), "Force" (An Yujin solo), "In Your Heart" (Rei solo), "8" (Jang Wonyoung solo), and "Unreal" (Liz solo), among others, showcasing each member's individual colors inside the REVIVE+ rollout.
The track's immediate success on YouTube and major charts has raised expectations for the group's upcoming comeback, with fans and industry watchers closely watching how the full album performs once it is released, as per chosun.
