I remember there was that article awhile ago about how Leeseo was signing autographs all the time but a whole notebook is actual bullying. Tons of respect for her to not snap after all these months.

She better lists all those bullies name because their career will be over when they about to debut :deadbanana4:

That’s pretty low for me for a top girl group. Newjeans just debuted and already have 4 songs with more than 300M streams. 

 

 

 

Twice’s discography wasn’t available on Spotify until 2018 And it’s k-pop 300M is huge  who cares about NJ spacer.png

ICSM has 300M streams on Spotify :rip:I don’t talk about melon 

And over 500M views on YouTube :clap3:It’s one of their best performing songs on global streaming along with Fancy and What Is Love

I was surprised to see the mixed reception from KTRL for Signal... and then I wasn't.

 

Further proof of a deep generational chasm that divides KTRL into two camps; the twentysomething pop sophisticates with 15 to 20 years of top-shelf pop consumption to their name, and an unruly kid crew with RIIZE avatars and tributes to SKZ in their signatures. It's not that the latter generation is a lost cause entirely, but they've clearly never heard a "TWICE" — that is, they've never encountered voices quite as distinctive as TWICE’s. "But I know TWICE! Ready To Be was the first album I bought!" First off, ask for a refund. And no, you don't know TWICE, you know a very stilted and subdued version of the iconic performers.

 

The TWICE of "Signal" is TWICE as TWICE is intended to sound. They very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; they are nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then nasally again, then delicate. (And yes, that's how they're supposed to do it.) They're sultry. They're goofy. They sound slightly absurd. They're fully engaged. They're expressive in ways that "technically superior" vokalists just aren't. They're is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant they are.

 

That's is the probably purest attempt TWICE has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made their early work so irresistible. I adore it.

It irks my souls that this went #1 while supernatural quality bops like Fancy, MORE & MORE, I Can’t Stop Me, Talk That Talk etc. didn’t :biblionana:

South Korea can switch in a second, they can literally forget about a group and then suddenly stream and make them smash :deadbanana2: just shows how fast the market changes

 

Red Velvet: (I do blame quality in this case)

#2 peek a boo

#2 bad boy

#1 power up

#10 really bad boy

#11 zimzalbim

#18 umpah umpah

#2 psycho

 

momoland:

#2 bboom bboom 

#13 baam

 

brave girls:

#1 rollin' + #4 we ride

#3 chi mat ba ram

#51 after we ride

 

oh my girl:

#50 Bungee

#2 nonstop + #9 dolphin

#1 dun dun dnace

#32 summer comes

 

I believe twice will get another hit someday :chick3: they just need the right material and promotion

It kills me inside whenever the term “mixpop” is used unironically because jyp literally stole that from aespa/sm

the chorus and the 3 high notes throughout the song truly are addicting

TWICE is truly the Katy Perry of kpop

both have 9 #1's

both smashed with bubblegum pop

both forgotten after an image change

 

both have iconic stan wars:

katy perry vs lady gaga / katy perry vs. taylor swift

twice vs blackpink

And TWICE has 5 songs with over 300M streams,  9 songs with over 200M streams and 19 songs with over 100M streams,??????

TWICE also stomp on any gg who isn't BP on YouTube and they are the girl group in history of music to have most music videos with over 100M views  :bird: Imagine acting like TWICE's streaming numbers are low, when they are only behind BTS and BP in overall streaming :redface:

 

And also NewJeans are also a top group and are about to join the trinity with BP and TWICE as the 3 biggest girl groups in Kpop history

Others can always claim to be an it-girl but when you actually have the numbers that are backing you up 👀
