PLAVE sets new record… Melon surpasses 11 million streams in 24 hours

Virtual idol group PLAVE has set another record. Their new mini-album surpassed 11 million streams in 24 hours on Melon.

PLAVE third mini-album, ‘Caligo Pt. 1’, released on the 3rd, achieved 11 million streams (a total of 11,329,400 streams) in just 24 hours after its release on Melon, a domestic music site. It surpassed the previous No. 1 record of 9.72 million, becoming the millionth album with the highest number of streams among all albums released on Melon.

This is another significant record set after their second mini-album, ‘ASTERUM: 134-1’, achieved 5 million streams within 24 hours, surprising everyone.

They also hold the record for entering Melon’s Hall of Fame, ‘Billions Club’, in the shortest time by reaching 1 billion cumulative streaming based on all released songs, making them the only artist to simultaneously hold the record for entering the Billions Club in the shortest time and for the highest million-streaming album.

The title song ‘Dash’ of this album is the first song released in 2025 to top the TOP 100 chart. The four tracks, ‘RIZZ’, ʻChroma Drift’, ʻ12:32 (A to T)’, and ‘Island’, are also staying at the top of the charts. The music video for ‘Dash’, which was released along with the album, created a hot topic with its blockbuster scale and even ranked first on YouTube‘s trending videos as of 2 p.m. on the 4th.

Meanwhile, 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’, which was the prologue that announced the beginning of Flav, and shows their unique worldview in greater depth. It consists of 5 songs of various genres including rock, hip-hop, R&B, ballad, and city pop, and the members participated in composing, writing lyrics, choreography, and producing.
