NMIXX Earns NME Best Songs Nod, Launches First World Tour

The rising K-pop girl group NMIXX is solidifying their global presence with recent major achievements, including a nod from UK’s NME for one of the year’s best songs and the launch of their inaugural world tour. The JYP Entertainment group has demonstrated remarkable growth both domestically and internationally, capping off an impressive year with critical acclaim and commercial success.

International Acclaim: NME’s “Best Songs of 2025”

In a significant recognition of their musicality, NMIXX earned a coveted spot on a prestigious year-end list. On November 1, 2025, the renowned UK music magazine NME named the group’s B-side track, ‘SPINNIN’ ON IT’, as number 43 on its “The 50 Best Songs of 2025” list. This inclusion highlights the group’s growing appeal to international music critics and audiences.

A “Well-Made Album” Resonates

The celebrated song is from NMIXX’s first full-length album, ‘Blue Valentine’, which was released in October 2025. The album was met with positive reviews upon its release, widely praised as a “well-made album.” The international recognition for a B-side track further underscores the overall quality and depth of the entire project, proving NMIXX’s artistic capabilities beyond just their title tracks.

Domestic Chart Domination with ‘Blue Valentine’

While gaining traction abroad, NMIXX also achieved a monumental career-high in their home country. In November 2025, the album’s title track, also named ‘Blue Valentine’, swept the domestic music charts. The song successfully topped the Melon Top 100, as well as its daily, weekly, and monthly charts. This clean sweep signifies a major breakthrough for the K-pop girl group, cementing their status as a formidable force in the competitive domestic market.

NMIXX Embarks on First-Ever World Tour

Building on this momentum, NMIXX has taken the next major step in their global expansion by launching their first-ever world tour. The tour, titled ‘EPISODE 1: ZERO FRONTIER’, officially commenced with two sold-out concerts at the Incheon Inspire Arena in Incheon on November 29 and November 30, 2025. The launch of a world tour is a significant milestone for any group, marking a new phase of global engagement, a path also taken by top acts like SEVENTEEN. This tour marks the beginning of a new chapter for NMIXX, allowing them to connect with their growing international fanbase directly. With a critically acclaimed album and a world tour underway, NMIXX is poised for even greater success on the global stage.
