Artists under HYBE’s various subsidiary labels have entered global album charts in large numbers, underscoring the strength and synergy of the company’s multi-label system.
According to labels under the HYBE Music Group including PLEDIS Entertainment, BELIFT LAB, BIGHIT MUSIC, YX Labels, and KOZ Entertainment, several of their artists were listed on the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI)’s "2025 Global Album Sales Chart."
Among them, SEVENTEEN, represented by PLEDIS Entertainment, achieved the highest ranking among HYBE artists, placing No. 3 with their fifth full-length album "HAPPY BURSTDAY." This marks the second time in K-pop history, following BTS, that an artist has entered the Top 5 for five consecutive years, reinforcing SEVENTEEN’s enduring global stature.
ENHYPEN of BELIFT LAB and TOMORROW X TOGETHER of BIGHIT MUSIC ranked No. 4 and No. 6 respectively, both achieving chart entries for four consecutive years. Their consistent presence highlights their role as central pillars of K-pop’s global expansion, supported by strong international fandoms.
Next-generation artists also demonstrated notable growth. &TEAM of YX Labels ranked No. 13, while BOYNEXTDOOR of KOZ Entertainment placed No. 18. Both groups entered the global chart for the first time following record-breaking sales with their latest releases, marking significant milestones in their careers.
The simultaneous global achievements of five teams from independent HYBE labels reflect the successful establishment of the company’s multi-label structure, which emphasizes creative autonomy while fostering collective strength. This system has created a sustainable foundation for continued growth within the K-pop industry.
Meanwhile, HYBE recorded its highest annual revenue of 2.6499 trillion won last year, representing an approximately 18 percent increase compared to the previous year, driven largely by significant growth in its concert division. The company plans to further expand its global reach through diverse new artist intellectual properties and BTS’s upcoming comeback and world tour, beginning with their fifth full-length album "ARIRANG" scheduled for release on March 20.
