IVE's new song "Rebel Heart" rises to 5th place on Melon! A slow start but makes it into the TOP 5

IVE released the first title song of their new album, "Rebel Heart," at 6 p.m. on the 13th. It started off slow on the Korean charts, but it made it into the TOP 10 on the 7th day.

The song debuted at a mediocre 27th place on the daily chart. It then moved from 31st to 32nd to 26th. It was the lowest starting position since their debut song, but on the 6th day it jumped up to 14th place and entered the top ranks. On the 7th day it was 8th place and made it into the top 10.

As of 10 p.m. on the 20th, it has also risen to 5th place on the TOP 100.

It was a week ago, on January 19th, that IVE's new song "Rebel Heart" made it into the top 10 of the Melon chart.

At the time, it was in 8th place, rose to 5th place a few days later, and briefly held 3rd place.

After that, it was pushed back to 5th place, and I thought that G-DRAGON, aespa, and Rosé were quite strong in the top spots, but now, a week later, it's here.

As usual, I went to the Melon chart early in the morning and found that their new song "Rebel Heart" had dropped to 8th place.

"Huh, is IVE's momentum already on the decline?" I thought to myself, but when I checked the rankings more closely, I found that it had been pushed back down by the onslaught of Lim Youngwoong's fans.

Between the top ranks, which are safe, and IVE, which is waiting for an opportunity to move up the ranks, Lim Young Woong's familiar songs were lined up one after the other.

I don't know if it's the same for other charts, but on the Melon chart, Lim Young Woong's whirlwind blows through every now and then.

This whirlwind can last for days, or it can pass in a few hours.

This time it only lasted for a few hours, and when I went to the Melon chart after some time had passed, IVE's "Rebel Heart" had returned to its current "reserved seat (5th place)".

Lim Young Woong's songs are lined up below it.

Rosé's "toxic till the end" has been caught up in that.

Having taken over for Rosé in 3rd place is Hwanggaram's "I'm a Firefly".

After enjoying heavy Western music, these kind of somber songs are also good.

IVE's "Rebel Heart" is a world where you can enjoy music through the power of your stage, rather than immersing yourself in the world of music with your ears like in "I Am a Firefly."

I feel like I've been made aware that IVE's performances can now be enjoyed not only with your eyes but also with your ears, which is why they've risen to fifth place.

To be honest, I think "Rebel Heart" is a little inferior to "I am" if you're just listening to it with your ears.

But putting aside the appreciation of the melody, there's a lot to be said for the members' voices.

One way to enjoy it might be to compare the voices you hear at a live performance with the recorded voices you always hear on the radio.

Eugene, Liz, Wonyoung and others may eventually change their voices at live performances, or the members may start singing their own parts.

These girls have really gotten good at singing.
