Charting New Heights

The success of Blue Valentine cements NMIXX’s growing influence as one of K-Pop’s most forward-thinking and internationally recognized acts. Alongside their Billboard 200 entry, the group also ranked across several major Billboard charts:

NMIXX’s Journey from Mini-Album to Billboard Success

NMIXX first appeared on the Billboard 200 in March 2023 with their mini-album “expérgo”, which debuted at No. 122. That early success signaled the group’s rising international recognition. Now, with Blue Valentine, NMIXX builds on that momentum, proving their evolution as artists unafraid to innovate, experiment, and redefine what K-Pop can be.

Following the conclusion of their Fe₃O₄ series, Blue Valentine opens a brand-new chapter in NMIXX’s creative universe. The 12-track album explores the complex emotions of love from warmth to heartbreak, unfolding on the symbolic “Blue Valentine Stage,” a key part of their ongoing journey toward MIXXTOPIA, the utopian realm central to their storytelling.

The Sound of “Blue Valentine”

The title track, “Blue Valentine,” expresses the longing to rekindle lost love as emotions clash between hope and regret. The track blends melancholic synths, driving guitar riffs, and boom bap rhythms across shifting tempos — creating a bold, multidimensional soundscape that defines NMIXX’s signature MIXX POP style.

This hybrid genre, which seamlessly merges contrasting sounds and moods, continues to set NMIXX apart as pioneers of the next K-Pop era.

Global Stages and Collaborations

In 2025, NMIXX expanded their global reach with high-profile performances and international collaborations. They made their U.S. festival debut at iHeartRadio’s “KIIS FM Wango Tango” in Los Angeles, captivating audiences with their live vocals and dynamic stage presence. The group also teamed up with Pablo Vitta, further showcasing their ability to connect across cultures and languages through the universal power of music.

“Charting on the Billboard 200 with their first LP is not just a milestone — it’s a testament to NMIXX’s growth, creativity, and the unwavering support of their fans worldwide,” said a representative from AMA, NMIXX’s U.S. partner. “This album reflects their evolution as artists who are not afraid to experiment and connect through authenticity.”

Streaming Success Around the World

Since its release, Blue Valentine has earned strong global traction on digital streaming platforms. It has been featured on Spotify’s Global Top Albums and Apple Music’s Pop Albums charts, while also charting in multiple international territories. These results reinforce NMIXX’s growing global resonance and the depth of their artistry.

A Defining Moment for NMIXX

With Blue Valentine, NMIXX continues to blur the lines between K-Pop and global pop, building an emotional bridge between creativity, storytelling, and connection. Their second Billboard 200 entry marks not only a commercial success, but also a creative statement: NMIXX is redefining what it means to be a global K-Pop act.
