Chinese fanbase buying tons of album doesn't make someone an It Boy/Girl. 

Well sales are the most important metric

Tbf, the first few releases from every Avex act usually has good art direction and decent budget (e.g. Kalen Anzai and FAKY)

I'm more curious to see if they'll keep the quality for their next releases cause XG is not making a dent in Korea nor Japan so far. I wish they were releasing songs in Japanese or Korean, not in English.

True but the point is XG doesn't look like  they have decent budget only especially the Shooting Star MV, it's giving kpop's top group level budget. The cgi is not actually cheap and this level of quality, the execution and the transitions are all flawless! I'm really curious about their actual sales, they are slowly making their name out there but I agree, it's not enough yet

how do you know? we don't know their album sales 

(or if you know where to check it, I'd appreciate a link)

Oricon combined single charts (here's their chart history page). Tippy Toe didn't even debut and Mascara peaked #27.

Baemon’s future :deadbanana4:  Glad I chose not to stan anyone from YG anymore. These young girls are not ready yet. Raw talent but they need some time to grow and develop their skills. Not everyone can be Hyein & Eunchae

Charli has so many hyperpop leftovers, SM better buy a whole folder and fund her next era :jonny5:

Do you even know what an It boy is?

Eunwoo is the IT BOY and his group sales are beyond tragic.

Omg this would be incredible. Hope they snatched one of her scrapped hyperpop excellence. :jonnycat:

 

Savage's sister is coming :duca:

It's just purely based on digitals tho they haven't had physical releases

What's funny is Mascara actually was shaping up to be a hit (Peaked #17 on oricon streaming chart/#14 on the hot 100) but it's run was beyond tragic (48-15-14-15-14-20-30-25-32-42-88-out):skull:

Do you guys remember when fx STOLE a song from that german girlgroup? They literally only translated the lyrics and sold the song as their own. How did they get away with that?

but I thought Twice is the most streamed gg in the US? and they also released fully English single (another one, something BP still don’t have) so I guess it’s okay to discuss their chart positions and expect them to outpeak their peers? :cm:

Are you dense? They did outstream BP in US in the year 2022 for whatever reason. Actually, Twice released more and has more content on Spotify so it’s not impossible that that might have happened. Does that mean TWICE is now officially bigger than BP in the US? No. But since one of those trolls who is not even a once said that, y’all are gonna put that on the whole fandom?

if I remember correctly, I dont see or rarely see blonks dragging twice on this thread until a bunch of oncez started coming for bp the past few weeks? that faux user and some more let's not act all innocent here sis :emofish:

This is hilarious. Unless you’re thick in the head, there is ONE once who trolls y’all, and y’all go with “oncez!!!!!!!!!!!” and start dragging Twice and the whole fandom into it. So oversensitive :dies:

Probably because of this :redface:

 

And now they have a problem with Twice fans posting their US achievements, the insecurity is LOUD.
