SM trying so hard to push their groups in the west but failing to payola them onto streaming playlists just shows they're out of touch. Going on some random morning show with 500k viewers of soccer moms isn't going to do as much as putting on NMF, TTH, etc.

 

Hybe is doing it right, their stans just need to stop acting like its completely organic and more impressive than youtube  :rip: 

:clap3:

so did Attention as a debut song? also followed by Hype Boy? they were charting side by side for a long time 

 

also, LD, AL and Antifragile are comeback songs, of course they would get bigger numbers first day than debut of the group with unknown members - yet they scored two smashes

 

and it’s not their fault they were doing good enough on their own without help in the first place, to get that extra push after some time after release 

 

I remember people here saying that their yt views were bad (no ads), spotify upon debut meh (after being on yt for 2 weeks, no playlisting, added late on kpop playlists) - and then they were able to climb to 1m plays per song and staying stable there to get that TTH spot (35th place or something) and now Hype Boy just achieved all time high, 6 months in 

 

payola :clap3:

 I’m not talking about the first day peak.  
 

Antifragile peaked at 1.6 million streams weeks after too, After like was still getting 1.2 million streams daily weeks after the release too. 

 

How a song who got less daily streams than these songs and who didn’t even reach top 50 global of Spotify was qualified to get a TTH spot but the others don’t?

well, that’s a question to their labels? :flower:

 

NewJeans pulled off 3 singles at the same time and all of them charted very well (especially for a debut) so maybe Ador saw the chance and pushed them more? which clearly payed off. but it’s obvious they were still testing the waters with Ditto and OMG, since the former was added to TTH 3 weeks after the release and before that, it charted non stop in the top 50 - not for a day or two

Yeah let me question the label since only 3 Kpop acts only got a spot inside TTH.
 

Clearly not everyone have the connection despite their songs performing well too. And IVE didn’t just charted in Spotify global top 50 a day or two too :cm:. 
 

And to go back to the subject of Payola, A song who never reached the top 50 or top 60 of global Spotify was indeed payoled into TTH and nothing wrong with that. 
 

 

So yes, be still in the day :isudumblmao:

And talk alone all night :coffee2:

If you don't have more repertoire, GO AWAY :cold4:

Pull up :beatfreak:

What are you talking? Bullshit so loud :celestial5:

BEEP BEEP, be quite, yes, that's enough :wave:

It's a warning for you, UNDERSTAND :cold4:

:huh: The only members that look similar are Hyein and Haerin

 

Minji, Hanni and Danielle look completely different 

Haerin stood out for me. Because of her cat-eyes. My eyes went straight to her. And I never confused her with other girls

 

Minji & Danielle look completely different too from the rest.
 

Hanni & Hyein used to confuse me during their debut era. 

The fact that there's not a single RV solo or group comeback scheduled :rip:

But we need a Joy solo comeback, can't believe she got a hit and SM is still refusing to let her release a cute bop or two.

This plus the fact that their concert timing isn't even decided yet either. A mess :rip:

Isn’t she’s the one focusing on her flop acting career?
