Group Ive (Ahn Yu-jin, Ga-eul, Lay, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) has taken the world by storm with their unique ‘Attitude’.
According to Spotify, the world‘s largest music streaming platform, Ive’s third mini-album ‘Ive Empathy’‘s title song ‘Attitude’ ranked 9th on Spotify’s ‘Top Songs Debut Global’ chart for the period of February 7-9. Ive is the only K-pop group to have made it onto this chart during the same period.
The global popularity of ‘Attitude’ was predicted early on. ‘Attitude’ entered Spotify‘s ‘Daily Top Song US’ and ‘Daily Top Song UK’ the day after its release, and also appeared on the ‘Daily Top Song’ charts in Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong, receiving enthusiastic attention from music fans around the world.
It is also showing a steady upward trend on domestic charts. As of 9 am on the 13th, ‘Attitude’ ranked 2nd on the Bugs real-time chart, 2nd on the daily chart (as of February 12th), 3rd on Melon HOT100 (30 days), and 5th on HOT100 (100 days), settling in the top ranks of the charts. As of 1 pm on the 14th, it ranked 1st on YouTube’s Korea Most Popular Music Videos. Ive won his first 1st place trophy for ‘Attitude’ on Mnet‘s ‘M Countdown’, which he appeared on the 13th.
‘Attitude’ is a song that contains ‘Ive-like thinking’, which is about accepting a situation cheerfully because the only thing that can be changed in an unchangeable situation is ‘my’ attitude towards the situation. It samples ‘Tom’s Diner‘, by American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega.
Among these, ’REBEL HEART‘, another title song of the new album, is also attracting attention as it continues its dazzling record-breaking streak. Through ’Rebel Heart‘, Ive achieved a ’Perfect All-Kill (PAK)‘ on the domestic charts and won 9 music show crowns, and also entered Billboard‘s ’Global 200‘ and ’Global (excluding US)‘ charts for 3 consecutive weeks, demonstrating his potential as a ’global hitmaker‘. With the popularity of the new album’s title songs ’Attitude‘ and ’Level Heart‘ increasing day by day, anticipation is building for the fierce ’Ive vs. Ive‘ showdown.
Ive will appear on KBS2‘s ’Music Bank‘, airing today (14th) at 5:05 PM, to perform ’Attitude‘, the title song of his third mini album ’Ive Empathy‘.
