[THE FACT | Reporter Choi Su-jeong] PLAVE has once again broken its own record. The group achieved 84 consecutive weeks at No.1 on the FANNSTAR Global Hot Star Ranking, continuing its long-term dominance.

From April 27 to May 4, PLAVE secured first place in the fourth week of April FANNSTAR Global Hot Star Ranking with 1,731,018 votes. Stray Kids ranked second, followed by NEXZ in third. Maintaining a significant lead by a margin of nearly millions of votes, PLAVE once again demonstrated its powerful fandom.

This ranking is linked to the “Global Hot Star Award” at the upcoming 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA), with part of the results reflected in the final selection. As a result, fan interest remains high, and attention is focused on whether PLAVE will showcase strong influence at this year’s awards.

PLAVE’s fourth mini album “Caligo Pt.2” quickly ranked high on major music charts upon release and surpassed 1.25 million copies in first-week sales, setting a new personal record. This achievement reflects both the group’s steady growth and the expansion of its fandom.

With strong performances across voting and album sales, PLAVE continues to solidify its position as a long-running powerhouse.

Benefits tied to these milestones are also expanding. PLAVE has already celebrated its 70-week streak with a New York PELE billboard, and a COEX Mall 9TO9 CUBE global project is planned upon reaching 100 consecutive weeks.

FANNSTAR, operated by THE FACT, is a fan-participation platform that contributes to fandom culture through rankings and billboard support. Votes begin every Monday, and fans worldwide can participate.
