I feel bad for you that you didn’t get into them during ANTIFRAGILE, because that was quite literally their peak in terms of performance and charisma and quality music. But Unforgiven isn’t that bad on its own so better late than never :mandown:

I was on a Kpop break. Last year (excluding my biases). But yeah these new Kpop MV’s are serving a lot

i mean that is a flop no? considering the numbers nowadays

enhypen used to sell on par with txt and this album sold less in a week than txt last album sold in a day

HYBE wont give them the TXT payola since they're only a half-HYBE group

Discovery mode? :eli: 

 

That's lower than their main competition (SKZ and TXT). Only a 100k increase compared to their previous albun released 10 months ago is a bit worrying

they were touring during that time that should've increased their fanbase and pass the mic isn't doing any much less better than their other titles except for drunk dazed and given taken. it literally has more daily streams than blessed cursed and tamed dashed. and the dancers issue didn't exist a day before the comeback so that didn't affect the preorders so idk why you would bring that up

You’re acting like they’re doing 20 million streams or smth :rip: don’t forget they’re still a big group, and the song is great so people might be discovering it through playlists and liking and playing it a lot, as they should. 
Y’all need to stop with this unnecessary concern, 1.3M sales is not a small feat. As candycoated said, they’re coming off of an era that wasn’t well received amongst the fanbase. So maybe that played a role. But they’re gaining their goodwill back with this album. I am an example for that :gaycatina1:

Y'all,  Enhypen's coming off the back of a 10 month hiatus and huge flop (even bigger than their usual flops), like Aespa they must rebuild trust within the fan base and general public. Not to mention that some fans are boycotting due to the female dancers, resulting in lower CD sales. Let's not do too much on them okay? :coffee2:

And they also don’t have the China bars do they?

Do you think people only buy albums during pre order period? What do you think people did before pre orders existed? People buy albums days, weeks, months, years after albums release. 

it's the 1st week sales literally it's mostly came from preorders :rip:

and I'm not saying that 1.3m sales is small or a flop by any means lol I'm just surprised that their sales didn't get a big boost compared to their peers since they were also touring before the comeback and that's a good way to expand your fanbase:ace: I'm sure enhypen will be fine and it seems like bite me is more like compared to their last comeback

You’re including Black Mamba, Forever and Dreams Come True for the number of tracks for Girls, but excluding them from Spotify and Circle, sis.

I included them in the spotify streams but not on circle since they have separate entry for the album version of the songs :hoetenks: it's the same with unforgiven

ENHYPEN has no uglees, they’re all gorgeous. someone should do a study.

HYBE will probably start "pushing" NOISENEXTDOOR hard. Lets hope ENGODPEN doesn't get ITZYed.

TXT used to be the same way until Yeonjun became Michael Jackson’d

 

somebody should definitely do a study there

Winter deserved a solo first way more than Karina

 

and how giselle surpassed the NINGNING on ig? :biblionny:

And she’s about to surpass Winter shortly (they were literally neck-and-neck a few days ago). But if I’d bought into ATRL conjecture, I’d have believed that Giselle was the one lagging in popularity. Wow, numbers truly never lie. :gaycat3:

heard the eng version of aespa Life’s Too Short on the radio today

 

They’re doing them regardless, I guess

the fact that they even tried to sing live at all with this choreography. :WAP:

 

 

I’m still not over Seventeen selling 4.5 Million :deadbanana4:

Sure but some people wait for the first day/week and then decide to buy and decided not to buy. That's all I'm saying, not saying it's a huge factor but that it may have been.

I think they do, and I feel like I heard someone say Heeseung is the most popular member. But idk for certain.

Engenes are saying on twitter there are shipping problems with Enhypen's album. I don't know how trustworthy it is, but better to wait some time before conclusions
