Sounds like a LOONA's Monotree song, I wonder is there's demos originally for Loona

YG is still the best when come to solo, each member get proper promote and attention

Jisoo's album sales are kind of why Bang PD admitted on CNN that Kpop was dying (despite the huge album sales records being broken every group comeback).

ย 

Kpop albums sales are largely fake.

wbk since literally all these 4th gen groups started selling millions we just love bragging about it cause its fun and for the kii's
ย 

+ since red velvet started selling millions from like barely scrapping 200k like be fr :rip:ย when that happened that was my confirmation that all these album sales are fake af :toofunny3:ย I think SM is the most notorious in faking album sales nshitty, aespa (my faves sorry) and rv all selling a milli but not appearing on IFPI was too fishy

ย 

BLACKPINK's sales aren't fake though. they're mass bought like the bots but their sales are matching with everything - youtube and spotify streams, their huge popularity and relevance, their tour gross, impact and demand etc etc

ย 

also, please sheep dont come at me I dont wanna participate in all your mess in this thread today

I have noticed that main vocals in groups are usually kinda underrated compared to the other members such as Rosรฉ, Jihyo, Wendy etc., like I don't think there has ever been a popular group with the main vocal being the most popular member?ย :deadbanana2:ย 

ย 

Baekhyun is the most popular member of Exoย

Kpop album sales are inflated across the board, this is just facts and applies to everyone not just one companyย :rip:

kpop is one of the biggest threats to the environment tbhย

Nobodyโ€™s hating anybody, grow up. People should be able to take criticism if theyโ€™re gonna act like all those adjectives, and not cry โ€œpersonal insultโ€ when you get called out.ย

Baekhyun has 2 albums with million sales

Taeyeon has 9 #1s

ย 

Kai and YooN/A pretty faces I guess

I don't think that the Kpop sales are fake, but it's more about the amount of dedicated fans bulk-buying the albumsย

Lmao is so funny seeing some agree but then throw a "but not my faves" comment.ย :ahh:

Lmao is fine.

I kinda have a love-hate relationship with her tone.ย 

Sometimes I find it pleasing and other times is just weird (not in a good way).

ย 

What I find frustrating about her, and most idols nowadays, is that she totally doesn't care about improving her vocals. She actually regressed.ย :katie:

ย 

Like, make time girl. Your vocals will thank you later on. If she plans to keep singing in the long run tho.ย :gaycat7:

we'll have to hope and pray her solo will fit her vocal range and is not some high pitched BP reject

I have faith in jisus tho :worship:

Inflated =/ fake

ย 

How is it fake when it's reported on multiple different sources (Gaon, Hanteo, ktown4u, C-bar sales receipts)?ย :redface:

People used to make fun of Kai inability to sing when he announced heโ€™s going solo and he ended up with the best music of EXO and has the most streamed song (100M) between them on Spotify as a solo without features.

ย 

ย 

Iโ€™m not counting Jisoo out yet, even tho her tone is not my favourite a good song can cover it enough for me.

I mean, you can say BLACKPINK's album sales are fake too but with their massive popularity, humongous streams and tour gross etc - you can say there's atleast some truth to their album sales :foxaylove:

ย 

Red Velvet's and NCT's streams are :rip:ย their mv views are fueled by ads then the views suddenly stops :rip:ย they're a non event outside of korea and I think the members aren't really known individually like the crackstink members. their touring stats are a mess (nshitty kinda okay in this department though)

ย 

you can :ahh:ย all you want but blackpink is NOT like those sm acts and you know it :rip:ย 

ย 

edit: i'm sorry to my faves adspa and nshitty I had to sacrifice yall to prove my point :weeps:ย

Itโ€™s not bs when I lived it on ktrl but nice try I guess. And it was over something very minor about some group and it was a whole fiasco. You can choose to believe it or not I donโ€™t care. I donโ€™t have the energy to dig up old posts like yโ€™all do.ย :heart:

I wonder if anyone will surpass BTSโ€™s sales from one album anytime soon, or is the market going to move away from bulk buying before thatย

Only on track 4 of Onewโ€™s album, and itโ€™s already AOTY. SM better submit it to the SCAMMYsย :giraffe:

Nah Kai have ofc more virals moments but Baekhyun is more popular (especially in SK) and have a bigger fanbase. Kai is def bigger in the US, which is understandable!ย 
ย 

Yoona is not more popular than Taeyeon lol!ย

ย 

Also he got the most viewed solo on yt right? And SM didnโ€™t buy ads for Mmmh!ย 
ย 

He manage his solo career very well.
