Virtual K-Pop boy band PLAVE successfully entered global charts with their third mini-album, 'Caligo Pt. 1.' 

The album, released on February 3rd, has already reached over 11 million accumulated streams within a day of release on South Korea’s streaming platform Melon and received two major achievements on the platform for entering the Billions Club—a title given to artists who have recorded more than a billion streams accumulatively since their debut.

On February 9th, PLAVE’s cumulative streaming number hit two billion, and two weeks since the release of 'Caligo Pt. 1,' the group’s Spotify monthly listeners number has doubled, with over one million monthly listeners.

Additionally, on the 19th, the album’s title track, “DASH,” entered the Billboard Global 200 chart at number 195 for the week of February 22, 2025.

Further, the album sales for 'Caligo Pt. 1' smashed the group’s own record for first-week sales with 1,039,308 sold since its release, according to the Hanteo Chart. This makes them the first boy group to achieve the milestone in 2025 and the first-ever by virtual idols.

The group also bagged music show trophies on Show Champion and Show! Music Core. “It is such an honor that it feels like a dream. We’re always thankful for our fans, PLLI,” said PLAVE members.
