The new mini-album of virtual idol group PLAVE has topped the Melon chart.

PLAVE released their third mini-album, ‘Caligo Pt. 1’, through various music sites at 6 PM on the 3rd. The music video, which was produced on a blockbuster scale immediately after its release, is gathering attention, and as fans who have been waiting for the comeback continue to stream, the title song ‘Dash’ topped the Melon TOP 100 chart on the day of its release.

Including the title song, a total of five songs including ‘RIZZ’, ʻChroma Drift’, ʻ12:32 (A to T)’, and ‘Island’ achieved a music ‘line’ from 1st to 5th place on the TOP 100 chart, and surpassed 1 million Melon album streaming in just 2 hours and 20 minutes since its release. This is the second fastest record of all time, proving their explosive influence and popularity.

Also, the comeback commemorative live broadcast held on the official YouTube channel on the day of the release recorded the highest number of simultaneous viewers of 43,000, signaling the start of smooth new song promotions along with hot interest.

When Flav was promoting their digital single ’Pump Up The Volume!‘ last August, they topped the Melon charts HOT100 and TOP100 on the day of its release, and also drew attention by taking first place on a terrestrial music show. They achieved 1 billion cumulative streaming for all released songs, making them the fastest to be added to Melon‘s Hall of Fame, the ‘Billions Club’.

Flav’s third mini-album, ‘Caligo Pt. 1’, is their first new album in five months since the digital single ’Pump Up The Volume!‘. This is a new chapter that goes one step further than the ‘ASTERUM trilogy’ that was the prelude to the beginning of PLAVE. It consists of 5 songs of various genres such as rock, hip-hop, R&B, ballad, and city pop, and the members participated in composing, writing lyrics, choreography, and producing, fully revealing the aspect of a self-produced idol.
