Global girl group XG continues its unstoppable rise with another major milestone in the U.S. music market. Their latest single, “GALA,” has officially entered the United States Top 40 Mediabase Radio Airplay Chart. It doesn’t stop there. XG is going to perform “GALA” live at the finale of The Voice Season 28. Moreover, the pre-order of XG first full album “THE CORE – 核” opens now!
Released on September 19, “GALA” showcases the elements that define XG’s signature X-POP sound—a bold fusion of genre-defying production, confident lyricism, and high-impact visuals. Since its release, the track has steadily gained traction across streaming platforms, radio airplay, and social media, resonating with fans in Japan, the U.S., and beyond.
“GALA” Marks XG’s Third Entry on the U.S. Top 40 Chart
With its Mediabase Top 40 entry, “GALA” becomes XG’s third song to chart in the U.S. It follows the success of “LEFT RIGHT” in 2023 and “WOKE UP” in 2024.
Adding to the track’s success, the official “GALA” music video has surpassed 19 million views on YouTube. The song’s steady climb reflects not only strong fan support but also growing recognition from international radio and industry platforms.
XG to Perform “GALA” on The Voice Season 28 Finale
Furthermore, momentum around “GALA” is expected to surge even higher as XG prepares to appear as guest performers on the season 28 finale of The Voice in the United States. Airing on December 16 (local time), the appearance will place XG on one of America’s most-watched music competition stages.
Performing “GALA” in front of a nationwide television audience represents a pivotal moment for the group, introducing their music and performance style to an even broader mainstream audience. The high-profile appearance is widely anticipated to accelerate XG’s reach and solidify their presence in the U.S. pop landscape.
Pre-Orders Open for XG’s First Full Album “THE CORE – 核”
In parallel with their chart success, pre-orders for the U.S. edition of XG’s first full-length album, “THE CORE – 核,” have officially opened via the XGALX OFFICIAL US SHOP and U.S. Store.
The album release offers multiple formats tailored to fans and collectors alike:
- Regular Version – A definitive release encapsulating XG’s core identity and musical vision
- Solo Versions – Individual editions spotlighting each member’s unique style, personality, and worldview
- VINYL Edition – A highly anticipated format following strong fan demand from previous XG releases
Exclusive FanPack Launches with Limited-Edition Merchandise
Also launching is a US-exclusive FanPack, available only through the XGALX OFFICIAL US SHOP. This special set includes the Regular version CD bundled with an exclusive hoodie featuring special artwork that cannot be purchased separately.
The FanPack is going to be a standout among fans, blending music and fashion—two elements central to XG’s brand and global appeal.
A New Chapter Fueled by Momentum and Surprise
The excitement surrounding XG’s recent achievements comes on the heels of a surprising announcement from member COCONA, which sparked widespread conversation among fans. However, the debate surrounding her decision appears to have had no impact on the strong and continued support for XG.
From charting on U.S. radio and appearing on major American television to launching their first full album with multiple global editions, XG is entering a defining chapter of their career. Their ability to seamlessly bridge markets, cultures, and genres continues to set them apart in the international pop arena.
With “GALA” gaining momentum and “THE CORE – 核” on the horizon, XG shows no signs of slowing down—only accelerating toward their next global breakthrough.
