NMIXX’s new song ‘Blue Valentine’ has reached No. 1 on the Melon Top 100 chart.

 

Released on October 13, NMIXX’s first full-length album ‘Blue Valentine’ and its title track of the same name have been sweeping major Korean music and album charts. On October 20 at 11 p.m., the title track climbed to the top of Melon’s Top 100 chart, just 23 hours after ranking No. 2 at midnight the same day, marking the group’s highest career ranking yet. It also surpassed ‘Golden,’ the long-running No. 1 hit from the Netflix K-pop Demon Hunters OST, demonstrating the public’s explosive response to their comeback.

 

After debuting at No. 85 on Melon’s daily chart (October 13), ‘Blue Valentine’ continued its rapid rise, reaching No. 10 on the October 19 daily chart. The song also topped Bugs’ daily chart on the 19th and ranked No. 2 on its weekly chart (October 13–19). The album itself dominated Hanteo Chart’s Weekly Album Chart for the same week, confirming its commercial success.

 

Since their debut single ‘AD MARE,’ NMIXX has showcased powerful vocals, synchronized performances, and a unique musical identity. Their latest release captures the push-and-pull emotions of love, both conflict and affection, wrapped in a wistful autumn mood. With its soaring chorus and the six members’ harmonious vocals, the title track has earned the nickname “Autumn Carol” from listeners.

 

From October 16 to 19, NMIXX performed ‘Blue Valentine’ and the B-side ‘SPINNIN’ ON IT’ on major music programs including Mnet’s M Countdown, KBS2’s Music Bank, MBC’s Show! Music Core, and SBS’s Inkigayo, kicking off their first comeback week. Praised as an “all-rounder girl group,” the members impressed viewers with their flawless live performances. Fans commented, “This song and stage deserve to be seen by everyone,” and “I can’t stop replaying their performance videos.”

 

Riding the momentum of their comeback, NMIXX will open their first-ever world tour, <EPISODE 1: ZERO FRONTIER>, at Incheon Inspire Arena on November 29 and 30. Taking place roughly three years and nine months after their debut, the tour marks a significant milestone for the group as anticipation builds for what lies ahead.
