lisa's tanking - I completely understand she should've released alter ego last year Oct. she dragged the era way too long imo (though as a blink I loved it) and the back to back to back backlash and scandals didnt help either :rip: 

 

rosé smashing - I think its unfair to keep attaching her success to bruno. yes, he's also the reason to APT's success but I highly doubt APT is the sole reason of her 70k pure sales alone (jennie + lisa's pure sales combined is 55k with 12 huge collabs combined too). rosé's album and songs are easily digestible in the west and her being fluent in english helped too. I think people saw how genuine and vulnerable she was and related to her album/era

 

jennie - this is the one i'm genuinely confused. 56k is the same as lisa's numbers when lisa tanked. jennie released 6 back to back singles in the last month alone and her collabs are with it girls dua lipa and doechii. the no vinyls argument is not valid either since nayeon and jihyo released their vinyls months later. I think she's really not that big in the US I guess

 

 

I think with Jennie, she'll have longevity rather than frontloaded success because of how well the album is received. She just didnt have big initial numbers because:

A. She doesn't have a huge solo fanbase in the US.

B. She obviously didn't have an aggressive push for her album unlike BP's albums have with YG. Yes she released singles but music videos rarely do much outside the core fandoms unless the singles are backed by radio plays or even spammed in streaming playlists.

Speaking of Nayeon and Jihyo selling vinyls even months later, my previous post already covers the possible reasons for that I think.

What is happening in music 

Why is KPop now suffering from horrible mixing like the west

JYP didnt want another Miss A situation which is what happened to BP

BP didnt have a Miss A situation though..if anything, YG was actually smart to give the BP girls some individual push early on, and it was done diligently according to their respective personalities and it worked.

JYP just didnt want the Miss A situation so he prioritized the group initially, which was fine because they became HUGE as a unit. But he didnt know when to switch gears on pushing their individual profiles and waited too long. Like imagine how much bigger Sana/Momo/Tzuyu/Jihyo or even Dahyun could have become at the height of their popularity and virality (of course there's also pre-2020 Jeongyeon but her condition has changed since the injury so i wont mention her). Like there was absolutely no reason for only Nayeon to be the viable soloist from the group 10 years into their debut, but here we are. All due to JYPIG's failure to act at the right time.

Yeji might not be the best technical vocalist, but i've always liked her tone and confidence while singing. I mean the girl is more stable while dancing than some main vocalists in other groups. And it's even more impressive when you know she DANCES like the rent is due every time. Definitely an all-rounder.

NMIXX's mini is nice. The title track reminds me of LSRFM's EASY, I use. Ocean is gorgeous and High Horse remains excellent. :bird:

Apparently u didnt understood my point.

 

I am not refering to feuds among the members as that never was really the problem of Miss A anyway. The problem was the lack of group activities in favor for indivindual ones. That was Miss A issues and it was BP issue as well. Fun Fact, both groups have the smallest discography among kpop groups and they were both succesfull groups.

 

Why group activities matter? Well, aside from making the girls bond and geting along, the most important thing its that it leads to strong fandom that its united. Thats why Twice stans are supprotive of their solo activities and thats why BP stans are fighting each other :cm: 

 

nmixx song is ok, the mv is stunning

ponytails were flying :jonny6:

still want them to go fully 100% destiny's child

 

Never heard a NMIXX song before but KNOW ABOUT ME is that girl!

Who's everybody cause these girls did it in their debut album

Aretha GIFs | Tenor

So they put Haechan on Mark's debut title track and named the album The FirstFruit? I have to laugh.

I think JYP is manipulating twice's billboard pure album sales by playing tricks that some asian sales can be counted for billboard 200 but i'll just stop here since I dont have evidence yet

 

:sabrina:

JYP Entertainment has a lot of problems, but committing fraud is not one of them, and they are arguably the most organic company out of the Big 4 companies. So stop being a sore loser.

this big fat lie

 

5 Star, Stray Kids - 5.3M

Rock-Star, Stray Kids - 4.2M

Maxident, Stray Kids - 3.7M

Ate, Stray Kids - 3M

Hop, Stray Kids - 2.2M

Oddinary, Stray Kids - 2M

 

= 20M for 6 albums only

 

:sabrina:

 

Notice how all of these albums went #1 on BB200 as well :sabrina: Oh Stray Global, the legends that you are :sabrina:

 

And the irony of an NCT stan like you accusing anyone of sales manipulation   :sabrina:

Slingshot is one of the most unique, weird and experimental songs that I have ever heard, but somehow it works :clap3: 

We might be in year 2025, but NMIXX are living in 2076 :clap3:

 

Edited by Pluto6

NMIXX's Golden Recipe sounds exactly like Rihanna's Cockiness :rip: 

 

Lisa reacting to Spotify manipulation claims :skull:

 

 

we need a spotify educational graphic. midnights was split into clean, explicit, 3am clean, 3am explicit, til dawn clean, til dawn explicit on spotify but tracks are still combined :deadbanana:
