NMIXX's 'Blue Valentine' Tops Melon Chart, Heralding a 'Fall Carol' Sensation
Global K-pop sensation NMIXX's latest track, 'Blue Valentine,' has dominated domestic music charts since its release.
The title track from NMIXX's first full album, 'Blue Valentine,' released on the 13th, ascended to the top of the Melon Top 100 chart at 11 PM on the 20th. This remarkable achievement occurred just 23 hours after reaching second place at midnight the same day, surpassing the long-standing OST hit 'Golden' and proving the immense public interest in their new music.
'Blue Valentine' entered the Melon Daily Chart at 85th place and rapidly climbed to 10th by the 19th. It also secured the No. 1 spot on the Bugs Daily Chart and No. 2 on the Weekly Chart, showcasing its growing popularity. The album itself topped the Hanteo Chart Weekly Album Chart, demonstrating strong physical sales as well.
Known for their consistently strong vocal performances and unique musical universe since their debut single 'AD MARE,' NMIXX is receiving even more enthusiastic responses with this new release. The album delves into the unavoidable conflicts and ambivalent emotions of love. The title track, with its melancholic autumn vibe, soaring chorus, and the members' harmonious vocals, is being hailed by listeners as a 'Fall Carol.'
During their comeback week, NMIXX graced stages on Mnet's 'M Countdown,' KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank,' MBC's 'Show! Music Core,' and SBS's 'Inkigayo,' performing 'Blue Valentine' and the B-side track 'SPINNIN' ON IT.' Their live vocals, solidifying their 'all-around girl group' reputation, garnered immense praise from K-pop fans.
Fueled by this momentum, NMIXX will kick off their first world tour, 'EPISODE 1: ZERO FRONTIER,' on November 29th and 30th at the Incheon Inspire Arena. Attention is now focused on their upcoming solo concert and world tour, their first under their group name approximately three years and nine months after debut.
Netizens are showering the song and performances with praise, commenting, "'Blue Valentine' is such a good song! I can't stop listening," "NMIXX's live skills are truly amazing... I keep rewatching the performance videos," and "This song perfectly captures the autumn mood."
