How many orders did Karina's bar put in for GOT? :celestial5:

Karina’s and Winter’s bars aren’t participating because they’re waiting for the full Aespa album.

GOT is all about female retaliation. This female empowerment song is not fooling us. We want step back silly girl back.

I swear the same dumb users always have the same dumb takes :deadbanana2: 

 

The entire MY fanbase was against a GOT comeback considering aespa only had 1 comeback in 2022 and are losing hype from group inactivity/promotions.

 

Not many people loved the song when it was revealed weeks ago and absolutely none of the fanbases even hyped this physical release because what's the point? There's no "boycotting because it flopped" worms for brains :toofunny2:

The artists who gained the most from GOT The Beat are Aespa and Red Velvet. Over half of Red Velvet’s album sales came after “Step Back” despite only releasing two minis. Aespa went from 600k on their first release (catalog sales pushed it to 750k) to 1.8M and the second biggest female K-pop album ever and biggest mini ever. BoA had the smallest jump in success out of any of the artists who worked on GOT The Beat.

Girl, this is has to be like one of the worst takes I've seen.

 

Sales have been growing exponentially (for 3rd and 4th gen) every year. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with GOT the Beat. 

 

IVE:

Eleven - 443k

Love Dive - 860k

After Like - 1.65M

 

 

aespa:

Savage - 575k

Girls - 1.8M

 

NewJeans:

NewJeans - 530k

OMG - 800k in a week (will likely hit 1M)

 

 

BlackPink:

The Album - 1.24M

Born Pink - 2.5M

 

RV:

Queendom - 363k

FMR - 694k

Birthday - 803k

 

 

TWICE:

Taste of Love - 560k

FOL - 715k

B1&2 - 1.12M

 

 

 

Sorry but trying to act like GOT did anything is :deadbanana2:

Gotta love the revision of history that happens in here from time to time :dies:

So it’s the BP girlies, IU, Taeyeon, Hwasa, Sunmi, Hyuna, Nayeon, Jessi and Somi

We can all agree sm is lost in terms of music and how they are promoting since more than a year ago :rip:

 

If it wasn't for Taeyeon who actually pushed INVU to be her tittle track and rv fmr SM would be Mia everywhere 

 

HYBE is eating all the big 3 in everything

what is DIS hunny :hoetenks:

 

those groups having their best album sales after Step Back and those groups having their best album sales because of Step Back are totally different things

 

Red Velvet having great sales in 2022 is because of the industry’s general growth + SM finally reissuing albums when their growing fanbase has been begging for it for years, and aespa’s comeback was highly anticipated (and the aforementioned industry growth)

 

Step Back being a hit had little if anything to do with it :rip:

The problem here is that SM fans are stupid - they think that if GOT The Beat didn’t happen, SM would have given them content containing their fave artists and the notion there is laughable. They’re still working on Aespa’s full album, Red Velvet just came back in November, Taeyeon hasn’t recorded anything, Hyoyeon only comes back in summer to promote DJ festivals and BoA just released. If there was no GOT, there would be no female comebacks until late February or early March.

 

Usually you spill FACTS but this post isn't it. You're right about snsd girls and boa BUT

 

Birthday was filmed and recorded last spring/early summer and was obviously supposed to release on the group's anniversary. Both Red Velvet and luvies are begging the company to print themselves millions of dollars with a world tour at this point. If already overworked to the point of extreme injury and illness idols are begging for the extra workload of a tour, it's gone too far. All of this is not to mention SM's profit splits and how constantly keeping females from doing concerts is a form of wage discrimination.

 

aespa has been constantly recording and scrapping demos since 2021 for their first album. They were the hottest debut since Black Pink and SM has wasted all of that momentum because of company internal politics and rushing into flashy record deals with US companies that literally do not care about aespa. They're still going to be fighting for #1/#2 with NewJeans and aren't over like people online want to pretend but SM could have handled things much better for them and avoided them having any competition at all. 

 

 

Both groups have been gravely mismanaged and being forced to prop up a dead legacy act after another dud release from her is just another example of the flagrant disrespect coming from SM for the groups that actually carry their reputation to the gp.

Not you pretending SM finally printing Red Velvet CDs in the new physicals era or aespa's hype train had anything to do with GOT BoA's Pension :dies:

Saying Got helped RV and Aespa’s sales when the reason why no one buys the mini is because mys and reveluvs do not care :penguin:

I think @Zack’s point is that the fanbases aren’t supporting this the way they would a regular release and we’ve been seeing the complaints the whole way - people want Aespa’s full album and a Red Velvet tour.

Hmm yeah exactly. It's not like I just pulled this out of thin air as some kind of excuse, because the song/album isn't doing as expected. This has been known, so I have no idea what that user is talking about.

 

Some people are just apparently primed and ready to jump on anything with even the slightest anti-SM angle I guess :cm:

Say it louder please. And can it be a pop/R&B album! Like Water was fantastic, but it didn't prove anything we didn't already know...i.e. that she can SING circles around anyone else in her gen. When This Rain Stops was such an incredible vocal though.

 

But I'd like her to serve the popstar energy she's been giving in GOT for a new solo release.

kpop is being widely distributed in retailers across the west now. It's the reason NCT, Black Pink, BTS had such enormous album sales leads a few years back, they got individual deals that are now being expanded to the rest of the industry.
