Some observations:

• TXT and The Boyz are the only 4th gen representatives in the male list while in a reverse situation only SNSD and Apink provide Gen 2 representation in the female list
• Gen 3 dominates the Male list whilst Gen 4 dominates the Female list
• The #1 spot in both lists is taken up by a Gen 2 idol that some people nowadays may not even remember they were idols.
