The K-pop sensation IVE (안유진, 가을, 레이, 장원영, 리즈, 이서) has solidified its global status by making the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry's (IFPI) 'Global Album Sales Chart' for the second consecutive year. According to the official announcement made on February 18, 2025, IVE's second mini-album, 'IVE SWITCH (아이브 스위치)', secured the 7th position on the '2024 Global Album Sales Chart'.

Last year, IVE made its debut on the chart with its first mini-album 'I’VE MINE (아이브 마인)' at 9th place and its first full album 'I’ve IVE (아이해브 아이브)' at 17th place. With this latest achievement, IVE has successfully surpassed its previous rankings within just over a year.

Continuing their momentum, IVE is set to perform at 'Lollapalooza Paris' on July 20, 2025, at the Longchamp Racecourse in France, sharing the stage with global artists like Justin Timberlake, Tems, and Jo Dwet Filé, further establishing their reputation as a powerhouse in the global festival scene.
