I'm sorry but NewJennies are truly officially now the #1 group in 4th gen, and I admit defeat :biblio: And I can't even hate on it or anything cause their marketing is just genius as I mentioned a few weeks ago :michael::clap3:

The way they are smashing in every metric such as digitals, sales and streams both domestically and globally :coffee2:

 

SKZ can be #2, but if they want to be #1 then JYPIG needs to change up something cause the same marketing tactic they keep using doesn't take them further as fast as groups like NewJeans. They should've had an entry on Hot 100 by now for example

NJs make LSRF look like flops like now, even though they have the same Western appeal and management company

NJs have the cool factor. LSRF is kinda just an expensive dance group.

They sold 153k. So they would have been easily #1 in any other week other than that one

What they need to change is the music! Sorry but their last title is unlistenable, the chorus was awful  :deadbanana4:
 

Superbowl was a bop though :mandown:

LSRFM was doing great until ANTIFRAGILE and that era brought them a lot of goodwill. But Unforgiven was a mess because:

1. The title track was a rehash of ANTIFRAGILE instead of at least doing a dance track that doesn’t replicate the same structure 

2. the album rollout was weird as hell with more old tracks added to the tracklist than the actual new songs

 

They’re lucky that Eve kinda went viral and took off. And they did well capitalizing on that

I honestly feel like TWICE next album should be a full English studio album cause they are basically a US girl group now. JYPIG needs to do what he did with Wonder Girls back then and make them only focus on the American market and stay committed to it. I'm sorry but a girl group selling out FREAKING MULTIPLE STADIUMS in the US, which is something most mainstream acts can't even do, shows that there's definitely huge demand and potential.

LSRF is what Itzy could’ve been if they’d stick with their I love myself concept. But when Itzy do it it’s camp while with LSRF is so forced. :giraffe:
 

The only thing left for newjennies is Tokyo dome :cm: Their touring power in the west will be interesting

I kinda like that they seem confident about the song's potential, hopefully it'll go global!

Idc if its english or not as long as they dont pull that double language release like they did with Set Me Free again.

It’s doable but a “full American market focus” is tricky. Because for that, they would need more than just a big fanbase in the country. JYP has to try seeping them into the general public’s consciousness through radio or national TV…and that’s a tricky scenario because the girlies have a language barrier for fully promoting and putting themselves out there as individual members of the group, not just a “product”. Plus they are NINE, not just your typical four or five members the US is used to. But in terms of just milking their growing fanbase and touring stadiums, they’re doing great.

I enjoy some LSRF sings but I still dont quite get them. Like, they're a dance troupe that makes reggaton, but I dont see any appeal of the girls on a individual basis. I feel like NJ was able to quickly fast track individual branding while also not straying away from their besties concept, in the span of a year! Not everyone has that

Oh wait, not me just finding out EVERGLOW is finally coming back. They really dropped hits, sans “FIRST” that was hot garbage

 

but I’m definitely anticipating what they’ll return with and it reminds me that I’ve been wanting to check out their discography, i never listened to anything other than their b-sides. Let me go that now
