NMIXX's 'Blue Valentine' Tops Melon Top 100 Chart, Setting New Career High
Released on the 13th, NMIXX's first full-length album 'Blue Valentine' and its title track have been dominating major domestic music and album charts. The title track 'Blue Valentine' reached the pinnacle of the Melon Top 100 chart at 11 PM on the 20th, just 23 hours after achieving the second spot at midnight the same day. This achievement surpasses the long-standing chart-topper, Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters' OST 'Golden', showcasing the public's immense interest in the new song.
The title track, which entered Melon's daily chart at 85th place on the 13th, climbed to 10th place on the daily chart by the 19th, continuing its unstoppable rise. It also claimed the top spot on Bugs' daily chart on the 19th and secured the second position on the weekly chart (2025.10.13~2025.10.19), further cementing its popularity. The new album also topped Hanteo Chart's weekly album chart (2025.10.13~2025.10.19), marking a successful album release.
Since their debut single 'AD MARE', NMIXX has consistently showcased strong vocals, performances, and a unique musical universe. With this new release, they are receiving more enthusiastic responses than ever. The album explores unavoidable conflicts and ambivalent emotions in love. The title track, with its poignant atmosphere and uplifting chorus melody, complemented by the harmonious vocals of the six members, has been dubbed a 'fall carol' by listeners.
From the 16th to the 19th, NMIXX appeared on Mnet's 'M Countdown', KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank', MBC's 'Show! Music Core', and SBS's 'Inkigayo', performing the title track 'Blue Valentine' and the included track 'SPINNIN' ON IT', marking their comeback week.
