It's a single album. Those will always do less than a mini or full. It'll probably cross 1M in the long run anyway

Most of my main groups (Dream, Aespa, IVE) are all here. Makes me proud. I just need Enhypen to release Polaroid Love 2.0 and go viral so that they can be up here too.

SM needs to stop with joint choruses and have only 1 member sing the chorus at the time like everyone else. This is why some of their songs can feel too chanty and loud according to some people. This way we will also get to hear the members having more solo lines instead of having members distributing verses only. Kpop groups in general should not have joint choruses since there are way too many members for them to distribute verses only, and joint choruses take up way too much space in a 3 minute song. This is why some of the members who are great singers only get less than 10 seconds of solo lines, since there aren't simply enough solo lines left for the members.

The fact that Momoriah is getting more lines in TWICE songs than Taeil does in NCT songs should prove my point about not having joint choruses. 

 

aespa are the only SM group that doesn't do joint choruses and we love that, since they all have great vocal tones and we get to hear each member individually more :clap3:

Their joint chorus choir sound is what makes SM songs instantly recognizable and sets them apart from other kpop groups. Without them they'd have one less unique feature that sets them apart from everyone else. 

Kpops physical market legit irks me, like yeah when my favs do good ill celebrate for them but my god is it all so sinister. 

Like do these months to 1 year old groups really have so many fans to buy THAT many albums? And will those sales ever translate to ticket sales?

I know we joke on bulk buys but it just turns my stomach so bad, the west put restriction on tour bundles why isn't korea doing something of the sort, all this mess is so WASTEFUL i hate it, Japan too.

 

I actually have a conspiracy theory that the big agencies have enough money to sometimes bulk buy themselves, idk literally everyone in the industry gaining album buyers doesn't sound realistic, especially if its over obsessive teens. Idk maybe its over obsessive adults who squander their salary for some bragging rights. Whatever the case i need it DEAD, its killing our earth.

and can i ask what the hell is up with korea's child labor laws...... how does any of this work??
