Oh this is decent!

These are just Japanese sales, so I wonder how many global sales they'll get, since they're more of a global group

They literally have their new Thirsty for the new mini since they started their tour with “Don’t Blink” which I bet will be another bside and will have the same future as thirsty 

 

don’t dare to call me success Stan when I have my flops of CSR and Weeekly right there and I don’t listen to AKMU, IU to name a few 

 

 

Thirsty isn't Aespa.  It's simply just a song that showcases that they have the range to pull off different genres but that's not their brand. If SM wants for Aespa to succeed, they need to go all out with their sound and concept aespa cause even your faves NJ are doing exactly what could have been Aespa are doing. 

 

 

If you still don't get it, you can go back listening to Cookie and Eleven cause you seems to like more inoffensive safer music

UPDATE:

 

18k preorders already, I think they actually have a shot to sell 60-75k overall

Pretty great for a first mini

Thirsty is just another trap and synth-inspired song and could've been sung by any of the SM groups. Not very unique at all

This gives me EXO vibes for some reason

I need Aespa to keep serving catchy noise, fun, camp, electronic bops like SPICY

 

Ain't here for study background music

 

That's why I love them so much. Literally they are the only one from this generation doing this kind of music and are bold enough to embrace it

 

 

I rather have them as flops than being a complete sell outs

and this is supposed to be a drag…?

they literally posted the teasers two days before, most people in this thread weren’t even aware of the release 

Why would it be a drag? I just thought It was a funny coincidence they were both pre-release tracks and did exactly 738k streams, separated by 239 in total. 

[hallucinate]

i actualy think this is cute, i don’t understand the lashings at all 

i like their b side “know me like that” too

Oh I realized that I forgot to tell @Adama yesterday that Set Me Free also has a English version so the streams are split 

The english version was the one that got all the playlisting too, but they promoted the korean version even on US TV. I've never understood this marketing tactic

I think they count global sales ? It’s still impressive.  Oh wait only JPN. They’re taking it 
 

Either way pulling 1M streams the second day with 3M playlists reach. I know off the record will smash

i took the “i’m dead ” as a shade, sorry sis

with the constant hate they usually get, i can get defensive sometimes

Just checked and nope I don't think sm was involved in this, by the way they stayed quiet and just posted a picture where she you only saw her side I wouldn't be surprised if Acne just slid into her DMs or something. She looked a little uncomfortable in the outfit so I wonder who chose it.

 

The star power. 

 

Imagine all the solo bookings, brand deals, mag shoots etc if SM aren't holding her off same with the rest of the girls

Yeah I was confused the whole time. Like…was the English version necessary? 

combining the both they have 100M streams and might have been more if they weren’t so split up regarding playlisting and promotions

So wait, even G-Dragon is jumping ship?!

 

 

Mel DO something

It's okay, re-reading my post I can see now why someone would've thought It is a drag. But It really wasn't.

 

I know how It is. One time I jumped on a poor user that was just making a simple question here about Stray Kids, because I thought they were shading them

This is disgusting They put 3 of top 6 in one team against Samara team I feel so bad for Iliya I think she cried because she knew that her team might lose the popular vote and she will be the boot We have to vote for Samara and Iliya to secure their team safety and to keep Pop music great again

She’s one of the sweetest and few sane people in here, and I feel like she’s too pure for this thread sometimes
