In August 2025, BABYMETAL made history. Their new album METAL FORTH debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200, marking the band’s first-ever U.S. Top 10 album and the first time in history that an all-Japanese fronted group has reached this milestone.

With over 200 million global streams and 36,000 equivalent album units sold in its first week, METAL FORTH didn’t just enter the charts; it shattered barriers, proving once again that BABYMETAL is more than a band. They are a movement redefining what heavy music looks and sounds like.

With the album’s success rippling across Japan, Europe, and the U.S., BABYMETAL, fronted by SU-METAL, MOAMETAL, and MOMOMETAL, are stepping into a new chapter of their mythology.
