Gee wasn't on Spotify for years. It also had an enormous lead on youtube before IATB started getting licensed for use on TV and in commercials in the US. Both were my ult groups am not aware of any country on earth where IATB did better on release.

This isn't entirely true because SNSD was breaking into iTunes charts and minor Billboard charts much easier and more regularly than 2NE1 at the time. Both were my ult groups at the time and the popular sentiment was that SNSD was the biggest group in the world but that 2NE1 had an enormous amount of potential in the west(which we sadly never got to see realized).

 

@Ryan can you do a dupe check on me please? This person can't keep my name out of their mouth and now they're coming for my friend @lgaga1fan because they cannot stomach that they lost an argument about BTS last week. This is the second time I've been accused of having a duplicate account in a day.

You’re not a dupe.

I mean I think SNSD is overall bigger than 2NE1 but that doesn't make Gee bigger than IATB. IATB managed to reach me outside the kpop bubble before the western kpop expansion that we see today and I think that speaks volumes to how big it was globally. And btw I know that this is all anecdotal, but Pluto posted the stats earlier and they also show that IATB is the bigger song globally :michael:

kpop fans are actually labor activists too because we will outrage so hard that the Korean trucking industry survives the self driving revolution. :gaycat2:

In what World is I Am The Best bigger then Gee:deadbanana4: 

 

like y’all really just focusing with new Western media eyes . Gee was a Gangnam Style hit across all of Southeast Asia and the first viral Kpop music video Worldwide breaking Hallyu into Europe and America. It was on Certified music review sites like Pitchfork and Billboard nearly a decade ago. It even reached more territories than Wonder Girls Nobody. Which at that point was what viral was for a Kpop song. And Gee was way bigger then nobody:dies:

We Sone may be annoying, but not y’all in here downplaying Gee of all songs.:priceless: The song that was certified by Melon themselves as song of the decade and one of the most downloaded singles in Korean history. And sold a Million singles in Japan alone😆

Btw the part that they find annoying about Sone is the fact that we disagree with their very narrow, america-centric view of an industry that even now brings the majority of it's revenue in from Asia.

 

They'll hide behind other reasons but it just comes down to their favs not being the center of the universe.

That’s the thing most people here are from the west so we truly really don’t know how huge was Gee in Asia I just know it was crazy huge

I’m not gonna lie I was kinda surprised to see Mrs gorgeousPizza not being in the middle of the fight and was confused, considering her role in posting a snsd tribute post every hour in this thread, but I see she’s arrived late to the party :rofl:
