No matter how much that hurts some of y’all to hear. Of course YG is to blame for wasting their potential and hype after the ALBUM. Similarly, aespa struggling to stay in the top 10 after scoring a mega national hit Next Level and another smash Savage and being called “4th gen leaders” daily here to the point of annoyance by some…IS an underperformance. so just make peace with these facts yall, just like how the onces have made peace with the fact that Twice’s digital dominance and viability in Korea is gone and we are focusing on their global rise now with the album sales and streams. No need to be so defensive over facts and logic Ugh you are the BEST katy kat on this forum. The effortless education.

No need to be so defensive over facts and logic They didn’t slower than expected when they broke their own records it’s not like they were the best selling GG anyway. I don’t get the drag because they got outcharted by rookies when in fact that’s something which happened before . Rookies doing better than seniors has always been a thing. Twice, BP, Aespa, Itzy, SNSD.. Dalla dalla was bigger than fancy no one questioned Twice statue in Korea, NL was bigger than butter and BTS still the biggest group in the world. BP has scored top 5 since debut that’s not a decline. IVE and NJ will eventually become senior groups and rookies will do better than them. That’s how the music industry work.

I don't want records I want to SEE them and have content It's actually very fun and I'm living lol SM ships vs YG vs JYPigs

We dont even need to talk about global streams since they easily clear every other group there.. But even in korea they are competing? IVE has been promoting every day nonstop for weeks aswell Like i would get if BP served top 10 > OUT but they are sitting stable at #2 and Shut Down is also top 10 and we'll see where it stabilizes once they promote a bit (...well probably just 1 performance and thats it ) And surpassing Attention too. Also a reminder that 4th gen doesn’t consist of just IVE and NJ.

Pluto6 Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) HITZY released their Japanese comeback today! Chaeryeong ate up as usual and her high note in the bridge omg Cute song but will not use Edited September 20, 2022 by Pluto2022
SpankGangsta Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 The way BP barely scraps on US sales but still #1 on streaming and beat ADspa so my avi still stands We might need a new hit GIF depending on Monday @Dark Horse maybe NCT jails BP

Arthoe Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 The chorus on Itzy's Japanese song is grating as hell, the verses & dance-break are really good.
illia Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 Itzy's new song is not as instant as Voltage but it might grow
Emperor Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 The bloodbath on TikTok about Wonyoung "Tweety bangs" , she should have keep her mouth shut
Pluto6 Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 Not people in here saying that BP are flopping when "Born pink" is literally outselling "The Album" and will be the BEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME No Kpop group except for Bots have a hold on the world like BP has. It's obvious that it's because of the album being very pricey that it isn't selling as much as we thought it would in the US. But imagine have an album that is $50 and still snatching the record for being the best selling Kpop female album of all time That's power right there THEY ARE STILL LEAGUES ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE "Pink venom and "Shut Down" are literally the 2 biggest Kpop hits this year. Like BP's single power never declined let's be real. Their Spotify and YouTube streams speaks for itself When the likes of Taylor Swift and the whole Hollywood wanting a piece of you, you already know who the main girls are let's be real. BP have the sales + streams + touring power + 4 It-girls = You can't get bigger than that
Sugden Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 it serves yg right for being so trash and giving no content to their fans

It has over 1B views on Douyin (chinese tiktok) But It's actually funny how JYPE spent years trying China's market adding chinese members in groups and even created a whole chinese group just for their group with the biggest selling power there being one with 8 members ethnically korean and no push. Just good music done by themselves

Billboard magazine (special collection) cover and interview, music for Street Man Fighter and 2 sold out concerts on KSPO Dome spoiling songs. Imagine when It actually starts.
Gaia Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) People really need to learn the difference between "Flop" and "Underperformance" Underperformance is relative to a standard. That's the correct term people should be using unless it straight up failed to even go Top 20 or something. BP not going #1 digitally in Korea considering their untouchable status is an underperformance, not a flop. BP not going #1 on BB200 and getting similar numbers to aespa and LESS than TWICE is an underperformance, but not a flop regardless. BP having similar album numbers to aespa is an underperformance. Especially with Blinks going around with some 3-4M number that's literally not being reflected in sales. However, over 1M albums in a week and surely soon to be the most sold female kpop album of all time is definitely not a flop. This era has definitely underperformed in some aspects and overperformed in others (Shut Down is holding well on WW spotify and overall they do significantly better than any other GG on Youtube/Spotify). Idk why admitting things is so hard for people. Edited September 20, 2022 by Gaia
