This milestone nearly doubled their previous record set by the 2024 release of ASTERUM : 134-1, which had 569,289 sales in its first week.

This groundbreaking achievement places PLAVE in the coveted “million-seller” club, showcasing their rising dominance in the virtual idol scene.

Their title track “Dash” has quickly become a fan favorite, and the success of Caligo Pt.1 highlights the growing influence of virtual idols in the global music industry.
