New Jeans’ debut ep surpassing 1m sales which is record and ground breaking, yet the thread is silent :rip:

When aespa became the first 4th gen GG to pass 1M sales, we were told here it was "not impressive" and all "landfill" bound to end up in the "Yangtze river" and bought by "Chinese bots" etc.

 

Also, considering there are now 8 GGs in the million seller club, maybe it was more expected of NJ to reach it, so perhaps people are just not surprised at the sales.

Was brave girls considered 3rd gen? What 3rd gen gg are left some what active?

 

Twice 

Blackpink 

Red Velvet 

Mamamoo

Oh my girl

Cosmic Girls 

 

They're kinda special case tbh. They're considered 2nd Gen group with the 1st batch lineups debut around 2011 and 3rd Gen group with the 2nd batch (current batch) lineups debut around 2016 and the 1st batch lineups are all leaving the group by that point.

Newjeans hate will start once they underperform or another group overshadows them, just look at ive. Suddenly the biggest group of all time will be called a flop, y’all know how it is :deadbanana: 

Whos hating on ive though.. they got called out and dragged for lip syncing sitting which is understandable. Other than that they are still loved.

People aren’t really posting NewJeans stats here as much because it’s boring now, like we get it. Breaking records nothing new. Show us a flop maybe we’ll start posting again :giraffe:

It's impressive because is the first group in 26 years to surpass 1 million copies with their debut album, aespa achivement is amazing, but is not that impressive since blankpick already did it multiple times recently... and newjeans sales are more organic, since their debut album sales weren't that frontloaded.

Girls was the 1st ever girl group album to surpass 1M sales on Circle AND Hanteo and broke the all time pre-order record. Not even Blackpink did that at the time of release, only aespa. Extremely impressive and ground breaking.

 

I'm just highlighting the ridiculousness of that post, because aespa's achievements are also historic but people were clamouring to call it "fraud" and "fake" etc. NewJeans has had an easy ride in comparison and has many fans in this thread.

Album sales talk is so boring. Everyone sells a lot today. What's there to talk about?

Girl…..they are spammed here 24/7 in this thread about how they are smashing and surpassing Blackpink to BTS :rip:

Hell someone even made a thread comparing them to BP :rip:

 

They are not hated per se here (except for SM sheeps). It is their bandwagon stans that are hated.

Y'all and this TIRED narrative :deadbanana4:

Meh, it is the same for newjeans, YOU are literally saying they had it easy and others in the thread are saying everything they achieved is because of the payola lol.

This too. I literally could not even care less that "Girls" album sold near 2M copies. Like in this market who cares :rip: Its just such a waste anyways.

Or maybe we just don’t care

"No one is posting about this group... its clear people hate them"

 

Or... if I don't STAN them why would I spam or care about their achievements? :deadbanana4:

 

If you stan them, post about it instead of complaining no one is posting about it. 

 

What kinda nonsense :bibliahh:

selling all that and concert teasers still looking $20... something's not adding up

Also I don't think NewJeans has that much rapid fans on here compared to BP and Aespa :rip: Most of us are casual listeners.

Ask LSM about the alleged 6% cut of pre-distribution profits (~$60M) he was taking from aespa, SuperM, WayV etc according to Chris Lee :michael:

bad comparison

Blackpink are established and they have lots of brand deals that also bring streams + they have much more hits

while aespa... they are relatively new and they have less hits

sure they had more sales than THE ALBUM but Blackpink's brand deals, contracts with worldwide brands like Chanel, Celine, Dior etc make up for the gap or actually are more expensive

I'd argue BP's project is cheaper considering they just release remixes of DDDD.

sm was trying to have aespa sing about some trees as a symbol for weed IM CRYING :ahh: they already sing about kwangya and black mamba that would quite literally end them, i’m glad the girls put their foot down!

BP’s musical and visual output is certainly not on par with their success :rip:

 

Everything they do is legit SO boring and predictable. One of the worst group ever imo

so 1.8 million sales aren't enough to fund more than $20 for a teaser? :redface:

Tea

I'm gonna leave the rabid stanning and obsessing and numbers wars to the 14 year olds, it's so stressful and exhausting being in that mindset lol

 

When NJ's output declines (OMG is already a bad sign, it's more generic and mid than Godtto) I won't hesitate to hop off the "bandwagon"

But if they keep putting out bops then there's no problem!
