This is a gg space with a lot of SM stans, you guys are literally in your own bubble. It does not reflect reality. The same way a lot of people wouldn't know your faves songs etc. if you were in another space

idk how to feel about this, gives me a slither of hope for a OT12 reunion one day but that company makes some… interesting moves to say the least :gaycat6:

I mean where else would they go? I'd rather them stay with modhaus than try and start their own company and potentially give us lower budget comebacks

Aespa have no fraudulent streams and Circle and Billboard prove it. Their career actually survives once fraudulent, fan driven streams are removed. Meanwhile SKZ tank on both Circle and the Global 200, suggesting fanbase-driven streams.

 

I mean, they were supposedly pulling 3x as many streams as Aespa but somehow had less monthly listeners. And none of their songs were on the Global 200 while Aespa still kept Supernova and Whiplash afloat.

It's because you are living in your own bubble

Imagine trying to drag a group who always sings live at every performance and have literally build a reputation as some of the best live performers. It's ironic how the groups in the supposed "vocal company" is singing less live than a rap focused group 

TOu7fB6.gif

Imagine claiming other people are living in their own bubble and then praising SKZ for their talent.

SM stans in the comments trying to be funny as if Lily in her 3 year career hasn't shown better and more live vocal moments than Wendy herself has in her 11 year old career.

Maniac did chart at #54, it was just the Conan Gray song and not SKZ :suburban:

 

 

 

 

 

aespa highest position on Circle year end chart

2021: #5 - Next Level

2020: N/A(they debuted a month before the year end)

 

 

 

The nice thing about the Circle digital chart is that SEA streams and physical albums don't apply. Their list covers the top TWO HUNDRED Korean songs in a given year. :clap:

i wonder how the bts members feel seeing that their hard-earned money is being spent to push a group without an ounce of originality whatsover

Sure jan, I can see that you're from Brazil, where SKZ are arguably the most popular Kpop act right now, where they literally also sold out multiple stadium dates in your country as well :clap3:
