Twice new song is not bad at all I actually dig it but still how they do in Korea now still shocks me specially now since everyone in this forum is saying the charts are dead since months ago :rip:

 

Good for them foe the stadiums and the physicals though they kinda remembers me to Super junior but in a bigger scale. Total flops in Korea but successful outside + physicals. SJ with Latam mostly and Twice with the US and some other Asian countries :giraffe:

Yes. 9.469M Korean albums sold, 1.587M Japanese albums sold and 2.229M Japanese physical singles sold. Their Korean albums will jump over 1.7M albums by 3/22. They also have 11.981B YouTube views and 6.044B Spotify streams.

 

It really comes down to how active BlackPink and TWICE are going foreward on who will be the biggest female act, but TWICE holds the title now. They’re both 0 competition for Aespa, IVE and NewJeans unless those groups stop releasing or go to just one release every 12-18 months, but they should still stay on top until 2025, at the earliest.

are they really korean albums or just foreign fans bulk buying albums in a way that it can counts for the korean charts? :ducky:

welp, that's unfortunate. maybe korea can sense that there's no quality in the music and its just straight up bad

but maybe they're gonna do damage in the Hot100 since their stans are saying they're a huge US act now with soldout stadiums and #1 gg in organic pure sales there

wait, maybe you're onto something. their stans keep comparing them to SNSD but in reality they're the female Super Junior

The EP is underwhelming as well :redface:

 

Where are the Queen of Hearts and Basics? 

 

TWICE I'm disappointed

They’re Korean because that’s their primary language and where they were released. Just like with every Korean album, their Circle sales are the global shipments of all albums distributed by a Korean label.

 

And why come after physical sales for fraudulence after just focusing on Melon? Korea famously discards over half of their streams for their charts because they’re mostly fake, which is why Circle Streaming Certifications are always significantly lower than playcounts on individual streaming platforms.

the way no one was prepared for what we were about to experience :jonny5:

 

 

something shifted in the universe when they dropped this

Fancy - Feel Special - More & More   - I Cant Stop Me - Alcohol Free 

oh wow what a single run :WAP: and every song is completely different from the next one aswell

Scientist - TTT - Set Me Free.. meanwhile those 3 are not bad songs but all could have been on the same album and feel more like good B-sides :'(

i mean you're the one who's copping because they can't enter the top 100 despite TEXT MESSAGE promotion like... imagine if any other girl did this :rip: i just checked and i never received any text message about other groups' comeback

sksksks but they're huge WW not not in korea anymore so idg why you're posting this

this spotify payola/deal though. i'm expecting huge #s since they're huge WW and in the US now

 

 

If they don’t manage to debut with bigger numbers in the US and Worldwide than Ditto and OMG it’s going to be embarrassing :coffee:

Edited by Adama

Did fromis_9 change their comeback schedules or something? I think I read somewhere that says they are having a cb in the middle of March but it's 3/10 now and the number of teasers we got is still n/A.

the difference being that the effects in OTG are real :redface:

Is everything alright on JYPE Headquarters? I feel like if we listen to the latest titles of his girl groups comebacks, it is gonna reveal some secret like how he is being held at gunpoint or sumn like that.. There is literally no flavor to this mini.

It’s not that important for domestic digitals because 600M digital points is equal to just 100M authentic streams. Only one female group song has over 200M domestic streams (D4) and while that is helpful, 200M streams aren’t significant when a group can pull over 300M streams on Spotify and 1.7M album sales (the equivalent of 2.55B streams)

 

And for the record, I’m an SNSD stan and a TWICE/3rd gen hater. But I just don’t like when you girls use delusional criteria or show just how little you understand the charts. Don’t act like I’m biased for TWICE just because I’m pointing out obvious chart facts that every K-pop stan should know by now :skull:

did Twice ever have "flavor" ? :toofunny2:

Not some of y’all claiming that TWICE’s album sales are “fake”, because they aren’t charting in Korea :rip:  Since when does charting in Korea reflect on album sales? :rip: By y’all logic shouldn’t STAYC outsell TWICE right now? 

Some of you are truly Koreaboos and wanna be Korean and validation from Koreans so bad :redface:

And not RV stans trying to link up with BLINKS to attack TWICE :skull: I’m sorry to break it to you, but TWICE will always be bigger than RV, deal with it!!!! 

 

Anyways TWICE are doing fine with their huge album sales, stadium tours and global streams :clap3:

Set Me Free might be a grower but it feels so dull on first few listens, idk.  Even Moonlight Sunrise lowkey shits on it  :skull:
