Last year her best album got beaten by a nugu GG.
Who?

Yes. I mean celebrity was even bigger song than lilac. But both got toped by rollin.
So if a GG can catch the Gp like that again its possible. Especialy since the groups like bp, snsd or aespa have 100 times more base support from company and fandom compared to BG . Of course i agree with you thats still highly unlikely but its not impossible.

not to doubt anybody's information but someone have a source for that?

Viral hits are a world by themselves. Rollin succeeded ALSO due to the underdog story.
In such contexts, even such a viral phenomenon couldn't stop IU from taking #1 and PAKS, shows her mettle.
We can only say Rollin reduced her success by some extent.

We win because we'll get all that music.
Hope there is some summer music coming
-
Damn!
August be like....

Rollin only managed to overtake Celebrity after Celebrity had already stayed on top of the charts for 6 weeks tho, and in the end Celebrity had better longevity, more gaon digital points, and more ULs/streams. So where did it get topped?
-
Lilac was number 1 for almost 3 weeks before Rollin managed to overtake it (still impressive for Brave Girls of course). Though in the end Liliac had much better longevity.
There's a high chance IU will release a digital single in September ahead of her purported concert for her 14th anniversary, that's what fans are speculating anyway.

Let's hope we get a new song before the concert. But yes, both are speculative at this point.

Pink punk can and will be victorious against this 1563 human years old reactionary singer

at that time or in monthly melon chart for example. now imagine it would be from a gg that hat similar or even stronger company and fandom support to deliver longevity and more.
but thats not really my point. both songs are great. of course iu have many advantages. jet i refuse to believe that kpop is that artifical that we can predict who will be 1 in a month like that. i still think the quality of the music will matter to some extend. there is no artists that is allways unbeatable.

Celebrity had been #1 for over a month before rollin went viral, it also had a higher peak and in the end it also won out in both melon and gaon digitals in the first 12 months.
But nevermind that, theres none except bigbang (or jaesuk project) that can beat IU in the first week of release, after that is another matter.

Fly to the Sky beat IU back in 2014, pushing "My Old Story" to #2. But that is more an exception than a rule.
Rollin vs. IU, it all depends on how it is phrased.
Even the viral hit could not deny IU or IU's success was dampened some by the viral hit.
I don't think Celebrity was much affected by Rollin, but Lilac, might have had couple of more weeks at the top.

i also think she have the highest chance. but i dont declare a game won when it didnt even started. specially since a month consists of more than 1 week.^^

Well, that was also 8 years ago and a cover song basically. While she usually dominated the charts back then she has been and is even more dominant on the charts ever since palette back in 2017, and one of the very few that basically went unaffected by the chart reforms in recent years.
Lilac could probably had a few more days but there was also justin's song going strong by that time so who knows, it was likely also dampened abit by her having celebrity and a bunch of other songs in top 20 for the past months before the new album was released. I do think even IU can be affected by overexposure at a certain point.
Yep for sure, IU will have the the highest chance but its certainly not impossible for someone else to beat her especially when its for a longer period. I just think it highly unlikely anyone can beat her in the first few days if they release at the same time, going by past releases.
There's basically 2-3 artists left today that can debut straight to #1 in the first day, and it will have very little to do with the actual song and everything todo with whom is releasing it.

nice. This year was feeling something missibg without iu. Is the summer song of 2022 will be hers.
Anticipate the senior singer that contributed nothing to kpop expansion in the west
Just to make it clear, OP is joking, there has been no announcment or even rumour of a comeback in august.

of course, no one can predict the future. I don't think IU's digital success is ever guaranteed, despite past experience because the charts now favor songs over singer reputation. IU can't stay on top forever either. my comment before was simply correcting about "celebrity" and "lilac" performance since that's in the past so we already know what happened. ultimately celebrity still went number 1 on gaon yearly and today both songs are charting higher than "rollin" 1.5 years later.
rollin was definitely the more exciting song tho and brave girls deserve their viral success!

yes. i have to admitt that the charts got a lot more predictable since then. and with that also a lot more boring. the only surprise was nmixx not doing well. and that wasnt a pleasant one.

I thought "Winter Sleep" would not do well, she randomly dropped it with little notice on Dec 29 and the song is of course an acoustic slow ballad.
Yet it hit Gaon #1, even if only for the first one week. Then dropped quickly. It is 'Drama' that is showing staying power.
IU is now a 'habit' or rather a 'tradition' in S.Korea, no matter what song she release, the populace checks it out immediately in large numbers. It does not matter what type of the song etc., that all comes later.

I prefer not to be arrogant or take for granted IU's digital prowess in SK. Winter Sleep did a little over 450k ULs in the first 24 hours, certainly respectable but I wouldn't classify as "large numbers". Type of song and promotions (which Pieces lacked in general) still matter. Talking as if every IU song will smash at least for the first week is setting her up for future failure.

Well thanks to her, Whyknock is contributing a lot to Kpop commentary in many forums including AKP.
BTW the latest name for her from YK is "Strange Beast"
A long 10 years journey
