BM debuted as the first GG in YGE since BP, and with that comes very high expectations and standards to be met. They have been able to carve out a space for themselves in a very crowded environment and even been able to stand out. Even more so within their own generation where they currently appear as the leading group.
Sales: Their debut mini babymons7er from April 24′ broke first week sales record for debut and currently sits at 827k sales. They are the first and only gen 5 to have a 1million seller with their first album Drip in november of that year. Their most recent mini we go up sits at 659k sales and had first week sales of 552k both of which are highest for gen5 in 2025.
Streams: They currently have 1.75B streams on Spotify with 11 songs getting over 100k daily streams, both big which are the most for any gen 5 group. They are only gen 5 with more than 1 song at 200m streams, and have the most songs above 100m streams. The have 3 of the top5 most streamed songs for Gen 5 groups. This sucess is backed up by them being the only gen 5 group with more than 1 song to reach top 10 of kcharts.
Views: like most YG groups they are powerhouses on youtube. Currently they have 10.6 million subscribers and average around 200k gained a month. Which makes them the 3rd highest subscribed GG behind BP and twice and 9th overall. They have 9 of top 10 most viewed mv’s on YT for gen 5 ggs and most videos with over 1million likes.
Their dominance in YT doesnt stop with their own channel. They have the most viewed videos on variety channels like Itslive, and kstar next door. On the popular leemujin they’ve had 3 members appear with all over them over 200k likes and 1million views. Rami and ahyeon are in top 10 most view Lee mujin service and only ones from 2024 or newer. Their workdol appearances have highest views for 2025 as well.
Tickets/tour: in 24′ they held japan fan meetings with attendance of over 50k this lead into their first world tour beginning in 2025. Their show at kspo dome tied them with twice as only GG to hsve over 23k attendance and only gg this decade with over 21k. Into 4 cities in japan with over 150k attendance they had 8 us shows with attendance of 68k which is 4th highest debut tour in NA behind bp, lsfm, and mamamoo, doing that as only a 1yr old group. So far they have over 250k tickets sold while waiting on data for multiple cities. As not many gen 5 groups have toured this shows their impressive demand and popularity.
Award shows: as award season is upon us, and the recent announcment that 3 members rora, ahyeon, pharita will get a special stage at mama and that theyll be attending, let’s look at their impact. They’ve only been to gayo daejon in winter 24 and the summer version this year. Their 24′ appearance has over 18million views. Their summer performance has most views and likes of any group. Showcasing their incredible stage presence and talent to demand attention.
In a crowded and highly competitive environment babymonster are the most streamed, most followed on socials, most viewed, most attended, best selling, and most entries on spotify/am global and billboard global 200 of any gen 5 group. They have set their mark and established themselves as current leaders of their generation, with them all being so young the potential they have to grow should only excite fans of kpop everywhere.
Ps: Rami their main vocalists and one of the best in kpop in general has been on hiatus for injury for most of this year. Doing this without even a full group is more so impressive.
