SM to RV: We've given you nothing all year, but don't worry, November is your time girls! 

 

Also SM: RIIZE, Taemin, Taeyeon and aespa are coming back/promoting in November!

and Red Velvet will be the one with an actual hit song

Let's not jinx it though :gaycatx:

 

But totally agree. Last year, SM kept directly clashing them with NCT Dream. FMR clashed with Glitch Mode and Birthday clashed with Candy. Just let the girls shine alone for once!

SM interns searching for RV's title track among aespa's leftover spill as we speak

If we're being real Thirsty should have been the RV title track instead of being wasted on an aespa b-side. It's the most velvet song to come out of that company in a while.

I really like OTR and Baddie, I'm surprised neither is doing well. It's interesting how NewJeans and IVE used the same release strategy but NJ's went much better. I think it's a good example of how groups' brand value works. NJ have a really strong brand value so something associated with their name is going to get attention, but IVE don't really have that. Their individual songs have been popular but the group as a whole isn't that well known and is kind of overshadowed by Wonyoung. So a multi-stage rollout with off-tracking release dates doesn't really work for them.

 

In general I wish companies would stop doing pre-releases because they basically never work. The k-gp always only pays attention to the first thing the group puts out after being away for a while and then there's less hype for whatever comes after. It only works if it's a huge artist with a lot of hype.

This is true, I think the only exception being new groups.

I mean, even NewJeans didn't do as well as expected. People were expecting them to line up the Top 5/6 of the charts but only ETA really did any damage. So it really wasn't much different for them.

 

IVE had Kitsch and I AM smash and NewJeans had SuperShy and ETA (but IVE's songs did better actually).

 

It really sometimes just depends on promotion and the actual music.

The difference is that excluding the title tracks none of the B-sides from the GET UP EP are normal songs. (We are talking about an intro, an interlude, and an outro). Cool With You really did underperform/flopped but the project did very well overall.

 

August monthly chart

 

1. Super Shy

2. ETA

10. New Jeans

17. Cool With You

44. ASAP

83. GET UP

 

Do you know any 4th or 3rd gen Girl group that could chart the whole ep/album inside the top 100 of Melon's monthly chart on the follow-up month of its release? The only one I can think that may have done that was... BLACKPINK? All of the songs but the interlude "Get Up" also charted at the top 100 of September's monthly chart. 

 

IVE smashed with I AM and kitsch and so Newjeans did with Ditto and OMG their first comeback this year. Newjeans did well with Super Shy, ETA, and CWY now let's see how well IVE songs will do at the end of promotion.

er which ones aren't normal? I know Get Up but the others are standard songs... short or not. It's in tune with the rest of the world having 2-3 minute songs.
