XG

XG is a seven-member Japanese group from XGALX, a label under Avex, whose members trained together in Japan and South Korea for about five years before debuting. They debuted on March 18, 2022 with the English-language single "Tippy Toes" and call their blend of hip hop, R&B and dance music "X-pop". XG were the first Japanese act to top Billboard's weekly Hot Trending Songs chart, played Coachella in 2025, and ended their first world tour at the Tokyo Dome that May. Their first full-length album, The Core - 核 (January 2026), became their first Top 100 entry on the Billboard 200.
