Rhythm Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) 35 minutes ago, fridayteenage said: idgi. they can't have 611 days on top right? since they have been out for less than that Perfect All-Kills (PAKs) are just a measurement of how many hours a song has occupied the #1 spot on all relevant music charts in South Korea (there are at least 8, I believe —- someone correct me if I’m wrong) at the same time. It’s something of a chart phenomenon in SK and amongst the K-pop fandom because each chart is affected either by its respective streaming platform or a distinct criteria. So for a singular song to occupy the top spot for that length of time is considered an impressive feat. Edited February 2, 2023 by Rhythm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LustSpell Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I remember when BTS stans were pushing them because they were doing better than BLACKPINK. Now the script is flipped and they hate them now This is why you don't stan someone because you hate someone else. Pathetic group. ANYWAY these queens deserve it. Absolute quality every single drop they've done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie-is-no-1 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 not a Kpop fan but i've seen the k-pop fandom talking about how NewJeans has a huge playlisting payola machine behind them.

I mean they do have some Spotify playlisting in order to reach a more global audience, but their songs are already hugely popular in South Korea, and it’s super easy to get into their concept / music, even if you are not into kpop.

NewJeans have been taking off for almost 6 months now across global charts both in Apple Music and Spotify with ZERO push, but with their recent comeback Ditto + OMG they're finally being pushed by their label (aka playlists) tl;dr: they organically grew on streaming, so obviously their label is capitalizing on it and putting them on playlists.
