RE : Why is Aespa doing so bad on Spotify? Even worse than Lesserafim.

Quote from KangK

People should wait for aespa comback, and Itzy too. This is a dumb comparison. In 2022, we have seen large increase listeners from spotify.

Also, days spend on spotify global is not an absolute number to measures. Position on the chart is all relative. Streams is the better measurement for these GG.

Let me put it this way, if illusion a suprise bside release was able to net 800k first day, then I won't be suprise that aespa title song can reach 2 mil on release. Now, depend on the song if they can sustain on the chart.

Now on to the narrative that aespa spotify stream is bad.

See for yourself if this is the case.

700k. Aespa title song will release the same time as illusion, that why i guessing they can come close to 2 mil. Itzy is doing the same, so i wont be suprise if they can cross 2 mil.

I wonder how much the filtered will be? They should get some good playlisting access because of warner music

Here what I will say about playlisting. I have seen some posters used it as a weapon to talk down or invalidate certain groups streams. Does it help? Yes, initially, but overall it does not matter much.

A song will stay on the chart when people like it not because it shove down most people throat. Understand that we are free to choose, so if people don't like the song, then it does not matter how many playlisting the song has. In the end, the song will drop off rapidly. So, the playlisting narrative does not hold water to me.

Ah, one of those, "pick a metric that makes my point and ignore everything else" posts.

The same as “the first/top 4th gen” lol

But why is lesseraphim being used as a benchmark for being "bad" at spotify when they're doing better than most groups? Lol

Is it because they're one month old? But their song seems to be a hit among kpop fans looking at the longevity of their streams.

I'm in literal shock at how well O.O and wadada are doing after the reception they got. Wadada is going to hit 100m soon??? As for the nmixx song, who is even listening to this??

Reminds me of how everyone claims to hate that Dance Monkey song yet it's one of the most streamed songs on the planet.

Aespa is behind Itzy and Ive on Spotify but they’re not really comparably lagging behind LSFM or Kepler. They have decent to good numbers. But I guess people expect the #1 group in Korea to be #1 internationally which they aren’t. But that’s unfair.

Aespa have one interesting thing that not everyone in SM has and that’s Japanese interest. This means their streams Are going to very much be decent. Will they best ive and Itzy? Idk. But it’s not something we can just write off as saying “people don’t like SM” because we are seeing trends in them different to their SM counterparts.
