PLAVE HYPERDRIVE Tops Three Korean Music Charts
PLAVE HYPERDRIVE placed all five of its tracks near the top of major South Korean music charts on release day. The group’s fifth mini album became available through music platforms at 6 p.m. on October 12. At midnight on October 13, its title track, “Star Trace,” and the four other songs occupied positions No. 1 through No. 5 on Melon’s TOP100. The five new tracks also all entered the TOP5 on Genie and Bugs.
PLAVE HYPERDRIVE fills Melon’s top five
The five songs on Melon’s chart were “Star Trace,” “꾼,” “푸른 하늘에 단비,” “TheAnswer Is Yes” and “Rewind.” The reported Melon ranking was specifically the chart’s No. 1-to-No. 5 range at the stated midnight snapshot. It covered the title track and every other track on the mini album, rather than only one release from the record. Genie and Bugs also had all five new songs inside each platform’s TOP5. Together, the chart results placed the complete five-song set in the top five across three major domestic music services.
That platform-by-platform detail is central to the report: Melon’s result is given as an exact sequence of five chart positions, while Genie and Bugs are described as having the songs in their respective top fives. The report does not assign a separate exact ranking on Genie or Bugs to each song. The supported common point is that all five appeared in the top five on each of those two services as well.
Five tracks spanning several genres
PLAVE HYPERDRIVE contains five tracks and draws on several styles. Its genre range includes EDM-based dance pop, bossa nova, rock, pop and R&B pop. The report describes these as the album’s musical variety, without assigning a particular genre to each named track. The track list pairs the title track “Star Trace” with “꾼,” “푸른 하늘에 단비,” “TheAnswer Is Yes” and “Rewind.” Each of the five tracks also figures in the reported chart results, with the full set appearing in the top five on the three platforms.
KEEP IT MANIC tour dates
PLAVE is also carrying out its first world tour, “KEEP IT MANIC.” The tour begins with performances in South Korea; the supplied schedule does not give dates for those performances. The next listed stop is Singapore on October 17. Taipei follows with performances on October 23 and 24, then Macau on October 31 and November 1. The schedule lists an LA performance for November 14.
The album’s chart snapshot and the tour itinerary are separate parts of the update: one records the positions reached by the new songs, while the other names upcoming tour stops. The itinerary gives specific dates for Singapore, Taipei, Macau and LA, with two dates each for Taipei and Macau. The stated dates keep the schedule in chronological order from the October 17 Singapore stop to the November 14 LA performance.
