Blue Valentine lands at No. 177
Rising global pop group NMIXX has officially entered the Billboard 200 chart once again with their latest album Blue Valentine, marking their second career entry on the prestigious chart — and their first-ever full-length LP to achieve this milestone. Since its release, Blue Valentine has achieved impressive results across global DSPs, including placements on Spotify’s Global Top Albums and Apple Music’s Pop Albums charts, while also charting in multiple international territories.
The project lands at No. 177 on Billboard 200. This achievement reflects the group’s rapidly growing global presence and celebrates a defining moment in their artistic journey — affirming their position as one of the most creative and forward-thinking K-pop acts leading the next wave of global pop. They also land at No. on the Billboard Emerging Artist chart, No. 2 on the World Albums chart, No. 7 on the Top Album Sales and Top Current Album Sales charts, No. 43 on the Billboard Global Excluding US chart, No. 61 on the Billboard Artist 100, and No. 78 on the Billboard Global 200 chart.
NMIXX’s recent achievements are an indication of their continuously growing audience, both in North America and worldwide. It highlights their significant impact on the global fanbase as their popularity continues to rise.
NMIXX first made its Billboard 200 debut in March 2023 with their mini-album Expérgo, which entered the chart at No. 122, signaling the group’s growing global recognition early in their career. With Blue Valentine now extending that momentum, NMIXX continues to carve their path as one of K-pop’s most innovative and internationally resonant acts.
Blue Valentine begins a brand-new chapter for NMIXX, following their three-part Fe3O4 series. The 12-track album dives deep into the ambivalent emotions of love, tracing the group’s symbolic journey on the Blue Valentine Stage toward MIXXTOPIA — the utopian destination in NMIXX’s ever-evolving narrative universe.
The title track captures the desire to reignite an old flame in hearts turned cold as mixed emotions collide. With melancholic synth layers, driving guitar riffs, and dynamic boom bap rhythms flowing across shifting tempos, the track creates a dramatic, multidimensional soundscape — encapsulating the group’s signature MIXX POP sound that defies convention and blends genres seamlessly.
Earlier this year, NMIXX made their U.S. festival debut at iHeartRadio’s KIIS FM Wango Tango in Los Angeles, captivating the crowd with their live vocals and stage energy alongside top global performers. Continuing their global reach, NMIXX recently released an international collaboration with Pablo Vitta, showcasing their ability to transcend language and cultural boundaries through music.
