IVE’s amazing results in physical and digital sales of their debut album “ELEVEN” are surprising netizens. The much-anticipated starship Entertainment group IVE officially entered the K-pop scene last week. IVE’s debut has been the center of attention for K-pop fans all over the world, not just because of former IZ*ONE members Jang Wooyoung and Ahn Yujin . But also because of the promising talents and eye-catching visuals of the group members.
On December 1, IVE released their debut album, ELEVEN, along with the music video for the album’s title track and B-side titled “Take It.” Within 24 hours, the MV’s title track “ELEVEN” on the band’s official YouTube channel had over 10 million views.
As of 11:30 a.m. on December 2, the group’s song has appeared on the music chart Bugs at #4, on the iChart system.

The track is currently in the top 20 of all iChart charts, including Bugs, Genie, FLO, and Melon. Eve is the only group that debuted in 2021 to have such a strong numerical score.
The song also peaked at #3 Bugs, #13 Melon TOP 100, #13 Genie, and #17 FLO at 11 p.m. KST on December 5. On Melon, the song attracted 127,210 unique listeners (UL), an increase of 1,645 over the previous hour.
