The problem with a huge debut is that its gonna be hard to top it or match the success, its nit gonna be easy for NJ

People said that about Aespa, too, but lately almost every group has been growing with every release. NewJeans will probably never have another era with two smashes, a hit and a well-charting B-side, but they don’t need to replicate that same digital success every time. I have no doubt they’ll be million-sellers within the next two-three comebacks.

When they get CLC’d :deadbanana2:

 

Pls, CLC wish they could sell like WJSN, their best selling album is on par with WJSN's worst selling one :celestial5: My sisters are NOT about to go down without putting up a fight 

 

We just need miss Bona to renew, maybe they can still become Bona and friends :rip:

They’re gonna pass 1M with After Like. And regardless of NewJeans’ digitals they’re not gonna become as global as IVE currently is.
 

NJ aren’t leading the gen..regardless of 3 hits off their debut which is huge it’s only their debut.

Serving twice and BP. IVE more global while NJ has more chance to be bigger in Korea. Honestly I don’t see NJ declining in Korea as long the songs are good.

The thing is, SS has been the only smart company, JYP has given Itzy the absolute worst songs ever and SM wants to force their weird music on the GP:rip: SS has given Wonyoung and friends good music, while IVE's music is not totally my taste, it is obvious their songs are good pop tracks, so props to SS for finding a charming group of girls and giving them nice music.

Eleven (IVE's debut) still sold more than NJ physically I think?

 

And Eleven also got better global numbers than Attention? 

they are doing pretty good for a debut too, considering they have 3 titles and audience abroad doesn’t know them yet - they didn’t had any playlisting in the beginning too 

 

without today’s update, 3 weeks since release: 

Attention is at 20m

Hype Boy is at 18.2m

Cookie 9.6m

Hurt 7.1m

 

they get combined 2m daily for Attention and Hype Boy alone 

 

Take It (from IVE’s first single album) has 10.5m, even Hurt will surpass that easily and they will have at least two relatively big songs on spotify right after debut  

 

 

and NJ surpassed them with 1st day and week sales

they are so cute :dies:

hope we get to see them do american promotions soon and by promotions i mean interviews or content like song association, not random performances although that would be nice as well, just a bit early imo

Monsta X used to do these kind of things so there is hope !

I’m not trying to start a fight, I literally stated that I HOPE LSM WILL OPEN HIS EYES AND SEE THAT IT’S POSSIBLE TO BREAK INTO INTERNATIONAL MARKET WITHOUT EMPTY WORDS AND WRONG MOVES AND WON’T REPEAT GIRLS ERA WRONG DECISIONS AGAIN SINCE I ROOT FOR AESPA TOO 

 

not my fault IVE did what they desired first which is quite shocking to me :deadbanana4: and I don’t know how it’s off topic when we’re speaking about 4th gen groups - somehow inserting all of them when aespa was so called 4th gen leaders was ok 

 

and BTS is struggling considering how they were everywhere just last year and now they have 3 songs in top50 because army felt motivated to undermine BP’s success :rip: I feel like only JK’s song isn’t fandom driven, Bad Decisions was released just a few weeks ago yet it’s tanking and army for some reason decided to stream (and buy) Dynamite instead to fight with blinks 

Oh come off it now

BTS were doing just fine on Spotify before BPs comeback. The only song that rose significantly was Dynamite and that was due to it’s 2 year anniversary.

Dynamite has also never stopped charting. Y’all are just obsessed with BTS.

Pray for NMIXX after the smasha of other 4th Gen GGs. :boat:

I mean obviously...to this day (despite Sneakers success) ITZY still hasn't been able to top Dalla Dalla's level of smashery. The thing is the  "new artist" interest is eventually gonna fade away and after that you're gonna have to keep GP interest by the music alone which they haven't been able to do. As long as they (NewJeans) continue delivering good (read: listenable) music & HYBE promotes them individually they'll be fine.

Take It is a bside track with no promo while Hurt got a music video, actual promo & dance practice ofc they're gonna surpass it :rip:

I mean ITZY had a massive debut too (Gaon Top 10 Year-End and literally the only girlgroup hit of 2019 :gaycat:). We will need to wait and see

I’m with you there. Keeping up with buying physicals is…rough :jonny5: 

 

And I feel like the Girls era was about SM wrapping up Black Mamba so they can start something less-specific and more generic with their title for their first full album. The meta verse has given them a massive fanbase and I’d hate to see them completely move away from it, but I know SM is aiming for a digital hit with their full album. They’ll also include Next Level on it so it’ll do 1B+ Gaon points right off the bat.

feels like Girls ep was rushed - we already knew BM was defeated during Savage, it was pointless to do it in Girls

it’s still a b side, it’s only 3 weeks old (on spotify) and it’s already over 7m 

 

they have a lot of content yet people are still streaming on spotify, if that’s not a feat and it doesn’t show that they are doing amazing already… 

 

people have 4 songs from them and they are checking them all, it’s kinda impressive

People don't understand the difference between bragging and mediaplay a lot of the time (or when it suits them). For example YG mediaplay for Treasure by inserting them with BPs achievements in reports to create the illusion that they're pulling their weight and are the next leaders of YG or whatever but for BP all they've done in recent years is just brag lol Nothing of the shameless ambiguous sort SM pull with their american DLC speedruns etc or as far as I'm aware. But certain fandoms still love to insist that BPs career is fake achievements and mediaplay in the year of our lord 2022 :deadbanana2:

because they all had MVs and promo it really turned into a visual album which is incredible but they just debuted. At least let them have 1 comeback and we'll see but I'm sure their future will be big but for now enjoy their music

That’s great but Eleven and Love Dive blow those Spotify numbers out of the water let alone After Like. And when it comes to NJ’s sales it HAS to be taken into account they have 9 versions with bags included. :rip:

Do we realize the 4th gen K-girlies are taking every record away from boygroups? :gaycat:

 

Now we just need one of them to debut #1 on BB200 with more than 100k units

Posted (edited)

I agree that NewJennies are doing quite well on Spotify so far but let's not jump to conclusions yet. They're still far from IVE who legit debuted on the US chart today.

 

I think NJ will keep growing since they seem to have a fanbase outside Korea too. We'll see with their future comeback(s) if they will come for Itchy/adspa's necks on Spotify.

you need to understand that NJ’s ep already passed 55m mark 3 weeks after the release 

 

aespa’s Girls has around 80m and that’s with Illusion and LTS being released before ep drop and when they are more established act  (I’m not counting BM, DCT and Forever but it’s still 6 songs vs 4 songs)

 

itzy’s checkmate is at 31m with 7 songs :rip: now that’s embarrassing for them, first they tarnished their Korean fanbase, now this

of course I do, it’s just that their music matches my taste the best so I’m rooting for them the most and I hope they won’t come up with some weird music switch up anytime soon 

 

it’s just exiting to see just debuted group doing so well right out of the gate and with amazing music at that
