It's never that serious. If you want an italic achievement bot thread, open one.

 

now why would we do that with ITZY current list of achievements being battling adspa for 5th place.

Impactzy WILL outsell.

here's the difference:

 

Super Shy debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 and is sitting pretty with over 50 PAKs

 

Bet On Me hasn't even been released on streaming

 

you're not seriously comparing JYP's rollout for ITZY to NewJeans... 

so… one found success and the other didn’t? That’s the huge difference you’re trying to point? Now why does it matter for music listeners? Quickly.

Omg, this upcoming ITZY release will decide whether ITZY or aespa are the 5th place in the 4th gen gg ranking and finally end all of the arguments about which group are bigger

it's not about success, it's about building hype and excitement for your group's upcoming album release

 

one company is doing that successfully, the other didn't even release english subtitles on their album documentary 

 

I'm not on the ITZY hate train, for the most part people want ITZY to succeed, it's just the marketing campaign has been lackluster

They think first = blueprint. 
Their acts tried in the west and they failed 

 

Out of all the things you can say about Itzy their music is anything but generic 
 

 

That album teaser sounded like a hodgepodge of generic songs, there’s some predictable 80s synthpop, an EDM track, a poprock song, hiphop track, yawn

I’m just still pressed they debuted with the excellence that was DD and It’z ICY and this is where they ended up

NewJesus - BLACKPINK

IVE - TWICE

LESSER - Red Velvet

GIDLE - Mamamoo

aespa/ITZY - Gfired (TBC)

 

[Pinter]

Nujinsters need to chill, it must be so boring watching your faves topping the chart yet you all still the need to drag itzy like they are not even comparable, like whats the point honestly, aespa vs ive vs g idle vs le serra was so much fun honestly they are fighting for melon top spot it provided great stan war.. 

 

Now with newjeans they are just fighting with themselves, promoting multiple songs on music shows, payolaing multiple songs on spotify, youtube etc... Their rival is who junhkok? I mean they are even coming from the same company.. It must be so boring when youre so succesful on emptu handed competion so you feel the need to drag certain flop groups.

[Cain]

Not me listening to ICY and looking up the lyrics for the first time

Which just shows how big the standards are in 4th gen cause both aespa and HITZY are on the same tier as Red Velvet aka the 3rd biggest gg in 3rd gen

A perfect plan:

 

1. A return to Japan to be in a new j-pop group or a solo artist/actress/host/do any promos in Japan (NOT XG)

2. Become an iconic IT-girl of Japan

3. After 2-3 years get scouted by HYBE to debut in their 5th gen girl group

4. Carry the group with the Japanese sales and fans

 

Sakura 2.0 basically 

 

 

well I hope she can bounce back, she’s really talented. She should have auditioned to YGE

Aespa is more similar to SNSD than Gfad or the others 3rd gen gg. They are both the best seller gg in their gen. And just like SNSD, their peers are scoring bigger hits than them outside their one national hit

This is about aespa right because SNSD has at least 3 national hits  

[Magdalene]

snowy, twenty, shoot, bratty, and none of my business are the songs that jyp should be putting his focus on if he wants that american push, it’s a mature yet still playful side to itzy

 

they could pull off a tinashe inspired rnb comeback tbh, they pull off that sound way more than whatever boys like you was going for

If this is 2011, KTRL would convince me that SNSD is less popular than 2NE1, SISTAR, T-Ara and Wonder Girls because their songs didn't chart higher

Nnnn right, like they really wanna say Gee is their only hit but Oh and Genie are huge as well, not to mention how iconic both ITNW and The Boys are likeee, be real.

Leading the charge on the list for Stray Kids is their most recent release, 5-Star, which has sold a remarkable 322,000 copies on CD in the U.S. alone. This number pales in comparison to its global sales, as it has enjoyed immense success, especially in their home country, South Korea.

Quote

In the tenth spot on the top 10 ranking is Stray Kids' 2022 offering, Maxident, which impressively sold an additional 114,000 copies on CD in America. The fact that this album continues to sell well even a year after its initial release is noteworthy.

Their album from last year (MAXIDENT) selling 114K CD’s in the US this year alone

I got a boy on my chin, the impact is lasting until today 

 

[OrgVisual]

Btw, I just found out that only Wonyoung and Yujin have solo IG accounts while the others got nothing 

 

How can they be so transparent with the discrimination?
