yeah and NewJennies have Ditto, OMG, Hype Boy in the top 3 for a month now, Attention in the top 10 too, Cookie just outside of the top 10ย :rip:itโ€™s not like the public have one or two smashes to stream, they are consuming their whole discography at the same time so the numbers are split lolย 

even Hurt is still charting on circleย 

ย 

almost 100m digital points in a week AGAINย 

I donโ€™t think the number are split? Might be splitting for the fanbase when they want to stream but not for the gp.ย 


My observation was that Ditto despite the PAK record is not bigger than AL.ย 
ย 

Also IVE never promoted their bside to the gp so ofc they canโ€™tย earn a lot of points from them.ย

now that I re-visit her last hits it makes a lot of sense that Taeyeon debuted that same yearย :gaycat6:ย 

ย 

they're not similar musically otherwise but there was a niche to be taken overย

Itโ€™s kinda crazy how SM is letting all these GGs gain popularity and momentum while AESPA still hasnโ€™t released anything like girlโ€ฆโ€ฆwydย 

ย 

ย 

For the first time since 2018 EXO wonโ€™t have a single member in the military

Spoiler

til the end of the yearย

Nรฆvis will reportedly make her debut during aespa's 'VR Concert at KWANGYA'  at this year's 'SXSW' | allkpop

excited for naevis debut

Oh for sure, the thing I hate about 4th gen is how quickly people drop groups for the next "Trend"

ย 

2021: STAYC, aespa

2022: GIDLE, IVE

2023: LSRF, NJ (at least in terms of international dickriding - In Korea I wouldn't put LSRF up there yet)

ย 

We shall see how all the comebacks do. SM seems a mess so I don't have much hope for aespa. But IVE has not flopped or even underperformed yet, so if they get a song that's not completely generic I think they'll be able to keep their trend status internationally over LSRF.

ย 

But IVE's lipsync thing really was everywhere like aespa's in 2022.ย

What a time for EXO to have all members back too. With BTS off the board, and such a massive hole in the boy group market globally right now. Exciting times aheadย :clap3:

I hope they can sign under a US label, not necessarily for promotions but for more distributions and a US Tour.ย 
ย 

Exo are masters in the rnb sound. Their music is very appealing. They might re peak globally!ย

misunderstandย 

I mean, promoting a couple of songs at the same time has more advantages than bad sides, but then the gp and fanbase arenโ€™t focused on that one song which can mean lower peak for the โ€žmainโ€ singleย 

ย 

it happened with Attention and HypeBoy and it happens with Ditto and OMG now with addition of Hype Boy still going strong tooย :rip:

ย 

another example is BPโ€™s Born Pink era, Shut Down release kinda cut short Pink Venom run and they are doing so-so on the global Spotify now - itโ€™s hard to have a lot of songs on top of the chart at the same time and maitain huge peaks, especially for a long period of timeย 

ย 

After Like had bigger peak (and they always focus only on one song during promotions while their b-sides are doing bad) than all NewJeans singles, yet itโ€™s behind almost all of them nowย 

ย 

also another example - Ariana in the tun era, she got top 3 on Billboard but it was harder for the fanbase to get that #1 for the last single, because it had the competition in another Arianaโ€™s singlesย :rip:ย and of course it wasnโ€™t possible to keep all of them on top for a longer timeย 

ย 

the way NewJeans is smashing, for over a month now, even locally in Korea, is kinda unprecedented on a global scaleย 

Here comes the EXO-Ls stuck in 2017 thinking EXO are still relevant. :rip:

For sure, a world tour, global push, before Kai and Sehun go by the end of the yearย :alexz2:

Nct is getting destroyed by every 4th gen bg from every angle and your mind is on EXOย :ace:
