IVE's "BANG BANG" momentum continues to build as the pre-release track has now claimed the No. 1 position on Soompi's K-Pop Music Chart for March Week 2, moving up from its No. 2 position over the past two weeks.

The chart success follows IVE's sixth music show victory for "BANG BANG" on MBC's "Music Core" on March 7, where they defeated KiiiKiii's "404 (New Era)" and Hearts2Hearts' "RUDE!" with 7,205 points. The win marked another milestone in the track's impressive run across Korean music programs.

KiiiKiii, who had dominated the Soompi chart for four consecutive weeks with "404 (New Era)," has been pushed down to No. 2 following IVE's surge. The shift demonstrates "BANG BANG's" growing international appeal beyond its domestic success on music shows.

The chart movement reflects the pre-release track's sustained popularity since its debut. "BANG BANG" has proven to be a strategic choice for IVE, building anticipation for their upcoming full release while maintaining their presence in the competitive K-pop landscape.

Two additional new songs made their debuts in this week's top 10, though specific details about these entries weren't disclosed in the chart announcement. The weekly rankings capture voting and streaming data from international K-pop fans, making IVE's ascent to the top particularly significant for their global fanbase.

With six music show wins under their belt and now claiming the top international chart position, "BANG BANG" has established itself as one of IVE's strongest performers. The track's success sets high expectations for whatever IVE has planned next, as fans eagerly await news about their upcoming main release.

The dual achievement of domestic music show victories and international chart success showcases IVE's ability to connect with audiences both in Korea and worldwide, solidifying their position as one of the leading fourth-generation girl groups.
