exactly I enjoy the "noise music" genre as well which is why I also vibe with NCT 

 

I like some of SKZ songs too, Thunderous has been in my daily playlist for months. Maniac too. 

 

But its kinda sad that there's only 3 relevant BGs in 4gen atm, 4 if we include Treasure. The rest are nugus flops.

Not an NCT stan talking about "4th gen bg music being trash," when they are all in the same boat as NCT in terms of "noise music" 

This post is so weird, like yes, NCT releases noise, but their records have much more than just noise, that's why quality wise they stomp on any current boy group

There are too many sounds for the same song on TikTok, it's not very reliable to count

Spotify recently announced that their Discovery Mode is just glorified payola and they’ve been taking higher cuts of the royalties from labels to Autoplay their music since 2020. Imagine calling something fraudulent to then defend YouTube and Spotify. You girls are so far removed from the real world sometimes  

So what makes something a hit isn’t what consumers spend their money on but what Spotify and YouTube Autoplay for you after your selection ends? Interesting  

i mean radio is basically shoving top 40 down everyone's throats, same with spotify playlisting. bulk buying is too concentrated to be a relevance ticker i fear. the audience reach is negligible.

Wasn't GIRLS released almost 2 YEARS after their debut? 

Why are they comparing that album to newjeans first and second album? The same for IVE. 

The fact that even Le sserafim is becoming more relevant in less time and without a smash like next level. 

 

Aespa has potential, but let's not act like they are on top, when they're 4th place at best. 

 

Not people comparing EXO to AESPA

So we’re going with the autoplays narrative now?

Now that they’re completely over and buried, I feel comfortable admitting that this is kinda amazing. I even love the choreo!

That’s why I counted just the official versions for the top section. Most people stick to those  Usually you can just search popular audios by the title but I’m pretty certain this is an indicative ranking on the platform

the random attacks on a group that barely released anything in the last few years

go find another group to attack and leave my kings alone

anyways imo the next aespa comeback will be a turning point for them

i think they will do well on the charts (given the hype and everything going at SM) all eyes will be on them. hopefully they deliver quality wise with the title track bc the b sides are amazing

also there shouldn’t be any pre-release

just save all the hype for the title track AND also promote a b side along with it (salty & sweet especially )

Dear Cupid : 800k 

Night core : 3,9M 

 

a wasted hit 

 

The way I see some locals using after like without knowing it’s a kpop song 

I was going through the aespa Spotify page and I'm quite surprised that Next Level hasn't crossed 200M yet. It usually feels that when a group from a big agency gets a big Korean hit it usually translates to a big WW hit (Love Dive, Hype Boy, Cheer Up, DDU-DDU). 

 

I think the current rankings are NewJeans -> IVE -> aespa -> LE SSERAFIM -> (G)I-DLE -> The JYP Girls. However, I honestly feel that the groups from 2018 to 2020 all feel like an add on to third gen. Like SKZ, ITZY, TXT, aespa and the likes don't really feel like they should be competing with IVE/NWJNS/LSRFM. Maybe that's the reason MYs keep stating the obvious that aespa is above ITZY. I also feel that aespa are in need of an actual WW hit to keep up with the new girls.

EXO-SC fanmeet isn't selling out as well

D.O need to leave that group ASAP

boyband level hysteria

 

 

Jesus Christ I was here and the pandemonium when the show started 

I was deaf for a second there cuz the screams lord

What a great show though, the girls were great and far from the tiktok edits they served at the beginning. Lisa and Roseanne bodied. Jennie is just so alluring ugh. Jisoo is the epitome of cuteee wew

The better 2022 comeback song won

 

I think It was a good choice, since Maniac is their song that entered Bubbling Under and the lead from their first #1 album. Not to mention, the name of their tour 

 

I'm so happy for both Kai and Jimin's results. They delivered with their comeback/debut 

 

EXO and BTS are 2 of the only 3 bgs I care

And they need to fix radio, too. We’ve had how many artists get exposed now for just playing to get their songs forced? And now that cars universally have Bluetooth, who even listens to radio? I haven’t heard the radio since 2016

at one point, aespa's GIRLS is the best selling album by a GG (and it all happened in 2022)

but erased in 2022

 

anyways, why is KARINABAR alone outselling Kai's new album?

In what world Girls is the best selling album? 
 

And Well Karina bar should learn how to stream instead of the bulkbuying bc the same Kai outstreamed their last TT . Imagine claiming you are the biggest 4th gen gg but are getting out streamed by KAI

Oh wow 

There is no English pre release this time so Warner has NO EXCUSE not to promote the title track like they did with Life’s Too Short! I remember they did 500 tiktoks, a *few* playlists and performances meanwhile SM did absolutely nothing for girls
