Since you bring up K-charts, Feel My Rhythm did better than any TWICE song on the K-charts in years sweetie. So much so, that they could afford Birthday not doing as well. Even then, Birthday still outpeaked Scientist on Gaon/Circle and Melon, so you're simply wrong

 

Digital points in 2022:

RV: 637,788,612

TW: 182,986,864

 

Melon daily peak in 2022:

RV: #3 (weeks in Weekly Top 10 = 12 weeks)

TW: #28 (weeks in Weekly Top 10 = 0 weeks)

 

Hanteo release in 2022:

RV: 825,000 (Circle = 1,030,000)

TW: 603,000 (Circle = 1,120,000)

 

 

It’s pretty amazing RV now has the same selling power as Twitch, and we also know they can def bounce back & do better digitally as well with way less promo tactics.

Given the current market situation, FMR is bigger than any recent Twix singles including Fancy (placement on yearly chart FMR - 11, Fancy - 29)

I predict 2023 to be NewJeans vs LSF vs IVE vs BLACKPINK

 

BlackPink you will ALWAYS be famous!

while the twice and rv stans in here argue everyday who's less of a flop and deluluvs trying to prove one is still "getting hits on their 9th year" nn

 

blackpink is the only 3rd-2nd gen girl group that is still selling more, charting higher/as high, more relevant and is actually bigger than the 4th gen girlies that are very trendy right now  they really are legendary huh

This is a terrible argument because SNSD didn’t have the entrance of China to the market nor did they have a ton of different versions to boost their sales.

 

IGAB underperformed with 320k because it had 1 standard edition and 9 ridiculously limited versions. Mr. Mr. had only one version. Lion Heart, Holiday Night and Forever 1 each only had two versions. The entire market declined as Japanese and Chinese nationalism grew and they began to ban the sale of K-pop albums.

That's not strictly true. China was already actively involved in the K-Pop market until about late 2016 when THAAD happened, so those releases wouldn't have been affected much by that.

Jessica is a bigger asset in 2023 than she ever has been thanks to her massive popularity surge in China. Honestly, if SNSD launched in 2023 they would be doing 3M with how popular YoonA, Jessica and Taeyeon were in China  

We can agree on this. I can't forget certain fandoms trying to clown her for joining a show in China, but it has been the smartest decision for her idol career and her business/fashion career. Most luxury brands want a slice of China AND Korea, which is probably why Jessica has been endorsing so many recently, plus her fanbase is very supportive of what she does.

 

She never wanted to give up her idol career, so I'm glad she's got another way to keep doing what she loves.

You’re so dumb omg, their popularity never recovered but Holiday Night and Forever 1 OUTSOLD Mr. Mr.? And Lion Heart and Forever 1 were bigger hits than Mr. Mr.? And during the Mr. Mr. era, Jawssica was STILL thereMake sense, make sense. 

Your only defence being "uR sooo dUmb"

 

As has already been explained to you, Mr. Mr. (the song) spent more weeks in the top 10 and the mini album sold more than Lion Heart (a full album). It is what it is, no amount of "Jawssiccaa" ranting is going to change it.

Imagine if Jessica was allowed to thrive and slay in China without having to leave SNSD wHEW.

 

Lion Heart and Forever 1 wouldve been

RV will smash in 2023 and salty hater will continue to stay mad once again

Where's miss Century who said BP can't compare in tour sales or something

Who takes that anti bp delulu sheep's opinion about the biggest gg, seriously anyway 

For a thread that loves success, I feel like this thread is not celebrating enough (or if any at all) at the fact that we have TWO ggs in the Hot 100 right now like do y'all know how insane that is?? Not to mention one of the ggs also having 2 songs on it right now as well like who would've thought we would've seen this day come:

I saw your response to my comment last year regarding Tempest but never got a chance to respond. Anyways I agree but I have hope they will be famous  Hanbin will also get his revenge and will one day be popular alongside with his ex-HYBE Viet peer Hanni AND fighting ageism 

Also I'm curious, what was your thoughts on Dragon? It was their first "noise" song but it's still so cute imo

We honestly need to promote them more in here like the way every boy in this group is so charismatic and have that IT factor

Yeah everybody is busy fighting over whose faves did it first or did it better but then forget to actually savor the achievements as kpop fans as a whole. This is really cool, would not have expected this even 5 years ago 

Oh wow not king breaking the app 

 

Also that’s a lot of episodes  can’t wait to listen

Lion Heart (the song) outsold Mr. Mr., without Jessica, in their 8th year. Holiday Night also outsold the Mr. Mr. mini, without Jessica, in their 10th year.

 

Forever 1 is their most successful song and album since I Got a Boy, without Jessica, in their 15th year. 
 

The numbers don’t lie. Jaw was erased from SNSD’s history and she wasn’t missed.

It was reported that they would be going to Latam, but they’re looking for stadiums and not arenas

 

They definitely need to go to Brazil tho. The Brazilian Blinks are and have been so loyal. They deserve some shows

NILE RODGERS???? OH MY GODDD
