Yeah i dont get it. At least put both EP's in full on there, but picking certain tracks (and two intros??) into it just feels incomplete and a strange choice.

 

I got through all the old songs and got bored and moved on, I will listen to the new ones at some point this week. I feel like three different groups have released "Antifragile" now tho so your review of Unforgiven is worrying.

 

IVE delivered an album that I think will eventually be up there with the greats of full kpop albums. It is just SO good.

Wait which three different groups? But whatever it is, my comment was in the context of Lesserafim title tracks only. UF being the followup of AF, that was my main point.

Ice Cream didnt get several remixes bc blinks were lazy and uncoordinated and don't understand how to bulk buy singles. It didn't even peak in the top 10 and BP have yet to get a single to peak in that range despite Army's ability to do so with ease. Interscope took a Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande single COMPLETELY off of radio to promote Ice Cream instead, supported it with SEVERAL high profile media placements with interviews, playlisting, etc. The only difference between that compared to the BTS rollout is that BP didn't perform Ice Cream live ever since Selena was in a whole other continent. 

Blackpink, Selena Gomez's Huge Ice Cream Rollout – Billboard

 

That single got two mega conglomerate labels backing it and failed to dent the top 10 in the US. It has as much push as Dynamite and the push stopped bc Interscope realized it was a dumb attempt clearly. Selena Gomez had just come off of a MASSIVE #1 single debut and the label propped her up to help BP. Its not shady or stupid to compare it to BTS rollout, its just a massively underperforming attempt at that same rollout

this made up scenario

 

Ice Creams roll out was pre planned just like Dynamites was btw 

[WeFoundWill]

BP literally had record of the year in the bag until Dynamites insane payola and roll out pls

 

as always the industry said men first sadly

I agree, it's my issue with them as well. I can't even pick a bias cause all of them are whatever  

Exactly thats my point....none of them are standing out.The group is faceless. Just a bunch of cute girls who can dance. They dont have a member with distinctive qualities that are hard to ignore. They dont have a Yeri,Ningning, Yujin,Wonyoung, Naeyonce etc.....even that girl in G(Idle)..i dont know her name but I know her because she stands out,you cant help but notice her

Lol I was mainly thinking of Kep1er with Giddy, but I coulda swore there was another similar one.

the obsession with a member that was in the group for a week even after the second comeback is crazy. 

 

we have a name for this kind of behaviour.....mental illness

[smates]

Dynamite was really that girl, though.

 

1.6B streams on Spotify, 700M streams on Oricon, charted 32 weeks on Billboard, still at #55 on Melon. What an era 

 

I'm sure BP would benefit from an English single and a lot of promo, but y'all are underestimating BTS as always. Mic Drop peaked at #28 on BB100 and charted for 8 weeks in 2017. When they were a 4-year-old group  Y'all can compare that with BP's latest singles instead of Dynamite and the result won't change.

the way none of my points regarding le sserafim were actually disputed

*preaches "do you want to be forgiven? you dont have to!"*

*sacrifices career of one of their members to anti-feminist witch hunt*

I wouldn't mind one.

 

 

 

To be honest, I’m probably just repeating the concept of Weverse versions, but I feel like there should be photocard versions of all K-Pop albums where you get a digital download of the album and the photocards in them for those photocard fiends so that waste like this might occur less. It probably wouldn’t fix this issue entirely, but anything is better than nothing at this stage, bc it’s getting ridiculous

I mean that’s just your opinion but there’s a reason Chaewon had the most viral fancam last year out of every person you’ve listed there
