BYE.

 

its a stats/chart account. They and every fandom does it. It was okay when stat and chart accounts were posting groups that overtook BP, but I guess that’s fine…

 

this is the hypocrisy I was taking about how y’all treat BP and Blinks differently then everyone else. Everything they/we do yall find issues with, but it’s totally acceptable when the roles are reversed

 

and no one is relieved.

anyone with common sense knew adspa wasn’t overtaking BP.

Can someone pls explain to me, and I mean this with zero genuine incredulity: why are Aespa's numbers so ridiculously huge? I mean, I get it the 4th gen girlies are obviously sales monsters but Aespa's just on another level.

 

Are they truly that big in Korea? Or is their fanbase just very quiet but a massive monster? Or is it just a different level of bulkbuying? I'm not really caught up with them in the stan world, perched for Spicy tho!

[Mel.]

Anticipate your favs release later and stay out of Blinks business. Thanks loll

The fact that Welcome to MY World release gave this thread it's 3rd most popular day when it was really just some random bside, yeah tomorrow is gonna be hell on here 

 

Congrats for the 1.8M preorders btw, can already tell it'll be my album of the summer (and their career-best) based off the snippets 

Right? I can't wait to listen the full HQ songs on streaming and repeat it

They’re selling out stadiums in Japan and are booking US shows, and they have a big base in China. The fanbase is very dedicated and spread out WW.

I just know whole kpop (and pop girls staning) is about mass buying (and we don't question about Adele and Taylor sales) 

 

I think a sales breakdown could dispel all doubts but nobody do that

big Chinese fanbase the biggest for a 4th gen gg, they were the moment in Korea in 2021 with next level being the biggest 4th gen gg song (love dive and hb will surpass tho) and big Japanese fanbase seeing that they are able to do dome tour

There's +550k pre orders overall and still 25 days left. I totally see SKZ getting 1.2-1.3M pre orders from China alone. 

 

 

They need to outsell Seventeen otherwise they're flops and over

It's not that ridiculous when IVE got 1.7m and LSRF 1.3N. And aespa debuted way before them

Karina singing like "she wanted to attract women" has me howling. Love a good sapphic bop.
