Everytime they comeback they get relentless drags for their Spotify numbers...at what point are you all going to stop acting surprised :toofunny3: Girls with a Friday release barely lasted a day. Their strength has always been Asian market, this isn't new.

 

It's also entirely possible it could grow with good word of mouth like Hold On Tight did.

 

The quick clock :toofunny3:

Hold On Tight was easy to listen to while Spicy is a bit too messy to chart like that. So Kpop fans may not stream it that much.

I mean the Blinks boycotting Aespa (post-Coachella) did damage to their Spotify streams. Savage did really well on Spotify. 

 

Again, that whole Girls era was a disaster on all fronts

The blinks what? I don't think the blinks are that generous lol nor are they that good at streaming.

Whatever that means but what does that have to do with their Spotify? aespa were doing 1M daily streams with an ost last month and have their own dedicated fanbase to stream….

The ost may end up out streaming this song. Did it have good playlisting or something?

 

I'm so convinced that "stan" is just an anti for aespa at this point because they just set them up every ******* time they post 💀

Even if SK doesn't support Fifty Fifty's Cupid, they already achieved a lot without any help from their home country lol :beatfreak:

 

Big Companies would KILL to have an effortless GLOBAL smash like Cupid, oh I just know ALL of them are fuming that a nugu group like FF is living up their wildest dreams :fan:

And his hair is black again

God heard me, they are real  :jonnycat:

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes his hair color gives him uncanny valley look. Glad it's back to black and that he looks a mullet because that's what looks best on him.

SM are the equivalent to Nickelodeon. HYBE is like Disney.

 

SM groups just haven’t taken off internationally like HYBE groups (+IVE). 
 

No matter how hard they try, their sound always ends up sounding too Kpop. And we can see they refuse to give Thirsty (the song with most Western appeal) ANY push. It’s weird.

 

Anyways, it’s similar to how Nickelodeon girls just always struggled to take their music careers anywhere but Disney girls almost always got some hits and became parts of pop culture. 

So does make Ariana Grande the exception to this Nickelodeon comparison? Also who's the Ariana of SM? The unexpected breakout?

I guess not everyone can match sales with spotify streams. maybe next time girls!

Like half the time they're dragging aespa but then the other half they're sending in personal and bitter insults protecting them like damn pick a side sis :deadbanana4: I won't lie though, I anticipate what kind of tomfoolery they plan on bringing to the thread day by day.

This whole "matching sales and streams" conversation is so weird, because most of these girlgroups' streams come from casual listeners, who most likely don't buy the albums, It's not their core-fanbase carrying. That's why their streams oscillate between releases, even though everyone sales keep increasing. 

So things are not related.

Everyone will eventually fall into line just like they did with "Bboom Bboom."  Although, this Aran medical situation doesn't help.  Maybe they need to come up with a special Korean version of "Cupid" where they take out one of the choruses and put in 3 rap verses instead.

 

:cm:

why am i getting Psycho flashbacks :deadbanana2: except Aran's role is even more important to promoting the song.

Do you know China exist? And that Spotify is not available on China? Because most of aespa sales is from China? Which we told you a million times but continue to stream your useless flower vase

The streams and sales are not giving on QQ Music either sis :toofunny2:

Top 5 before promotion. 

Biggest debut day ever for female group. 

Almost 2m pre order. 

 

You know why some people are pressed and heated, how the supposed flop group that being crop out from gen4 trinity achieved this milestone?

 

No other 4th gen girlie achieved 1,37m sales in a day? Why? 

 

The girls are doing amazing considering long hiatus, company problem and zero appearance on tv. 

 

MYs are celebrating, hater keep fuming.

I agree, and his previous pink hair wasn't doing him justice. 

I prefer when he's with brown or black hair. 

 

all sm acts are terrible on spotify and thats more sm fault than anything

which is so dumb cause like how do you want WW groups but you dont waste a single cent on spotify playlists, worms for brains.

And as if >50% of the sales did not come from China fans who have no access to Spotify :skull: Like there's no correlation between album sales and Spotify streams

Thank you for exposing your insecurities, if im not mistaken few days ago your fellow blinks who fake stanning lsrfm mentioning how peaceful it was when lsrfm broke biggest sales for debut day and comparing to my who they think always bragging about sales achievement and you all be saying blinks didnt care about record if other fandom didnt mention it first... 

 

But loook at you getting heated and pressed over record thats not even aespa broke... 

 

The foolery of playing game and being exposed by your fellow blinks... Never change gurls...
