Genuine question: when was the last time a GG gave us an actual full album? Other than BP(and let’s be honest……lol) or a few Japanese releases like…….

 

I miss full albums so much. I know it was kinda rare in general back in the day but like…..remember 2015/2016? Literally so many groups released full (and classic) albums and now…..another single album from STAYC. Another mini from AESPA……like……..the laziness is too much 

Idle's I Never Die, I guess?

There's no point in releasing a full album which will sell 2M when you can sell a single album that sells 1.2M :michael:

Aren’t you a MUSIC FAN? Dont u want more MUSIC from your groups? Are these Kpop labels paying your bills? Naw. Full albums should be a regular thing PERIOD. Even Jpop artists/groups release way more full albums. 
 

Were second gen groups selling 1.2 million albums regularly? No. And yet…….they have actual classic A L B U M S under their belt. There’s no excuse tbh

I don't think they were defending this business model :rip: it's just that it's more profitable. Kpop was never about the music, back then they made full albums because fans bought more of those. Today you'll still have 10 Chinese fanbases buying a million copies even if it's a single album, so the full album investment is not worth it

I do love a full lenght moment, but it's pretty pointless with how the industry moved imo.

Not only from a business standpoint it's more profitable putting out minis, but as a fan there's just not that much of a difference. You will get the same single title track, very rarely a double title from either models and the album tracks sitting there that will never be played live.

The things that I read in this thread on the daily :rip:

imagine coming for Twice with the same weak “talent” drags to defend LUCAS out of everyone :dies: the jokes write themselves.

That’s a mess :rip: but idk I don’t really care about Twitter fans tbh. Most of them are crazy.

I'm so behind on my SVT journey but this all sounds EXCELLENT and FUN

Yeah they’re hands down the best vocalists in Seventeen and this sound and concept suits this trio’s personality so much. I’m very excited, even though it’s only 3 songs lol.

Which won’t be happening lmao 

They’re following a pretty standard business model. The groups will release a full every two years.


The biggest issue is the death of the repackage - it’s been replaced by single albums because that way you don’t have to pay royalties for all the songs that show up again on a repackage that were already on the full. It’s criminal.

As a fan I truly don’t see the logic of not wanting full albums lmao

 

And if there isn’t that much of a difference…..then why not just release full albums like :rip: once every few years even? 

obvs Kpop has always been about money and putting out minis is “cheaper” but like….is it REALLY that much cheaper? Like honestly

THIS helps my argument even more. Like repackages are dead AND full albums are dead too? Like wtf. Over the 4 song minis and 2 song single albums. Truly scrapping the bottom of the barrel

I'm way too old to be this happy about some teenagers beating BTS's record. And I don't even hate BTS, I used to be kind of a fan, but them thinking they could get a Grammy with those basic ass songs turned me off of them.

 

Let's go NewJennies :jonny5:

 

They better get a thread title.

there's probably a bts stan somewhere making a thousand Bugs accounts to buy that Taeyang song as we speak

Dynamite is over party!

4 minutes to go for the official 4th gen domination :duca:

Someone better make a base thread for NewJennies cause they're clearly going to be the next big thing with all this success in just a few months
