On August 8, 2025, the new Babymetal album Metal Forth was released and has since become a true international success.

In Japan, the band has been landing high up in the official album charts ever since their debut Babymetal, and Metal Forth has now reached No. 3.

In Germany, they have achieved their best position so far, with No. 7 in the official German album charts and No. 3 in the official German Rock/Metal charts!

But the true success lies in the USA, where Babymetal entered the Billboard charts at No. 9, making them the first all-Japanese group in the Billboard Top 10. A milestone that the three singers Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-metal), Moa Kikuchi (Moametal), and Momoko Okazaki (Momometal) can truly be proud of.

In a video on social media, they shared the news with great thanks to their fans:
