The group PLAVE has once again proven themselves as the undisputed leaders of 5th-generation idols by securing the top spot on the weekly idol ranking site FANNSTAR's ‘Global Hot Star’ chart for 74 consecutive weeks.

In the third week of February’s vote (Feb 16–23), PLAVE took first place with a staggering 2,407,361 votes. This extends their unprecedented streak of over a year without ever relinquishing the top position.

As this vote directly links to the ‘Global Hot Star Award’ at the upcoming 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA), PLAVE—who has already reached the 70-week milestone and been featured on the PELE billboard in New York—is now a top contender for the trophy.
