Is this going viral?!

  • Does anyone know what's going on?


    It's a song from what I assume is a nugu group. It's called Mascara by xg.


    I noticed it because it was quite high on the daily spotifystreams list and I've literally never heard anyone speak of this group or their song.

    It's at number 18

    I checked their Spotify and they're at 1.6 million mls with only two songs.

    They're also getting a high number of YouTube views.

    This teaser for their performance video is already at 75k views after a few hours

    A music show performance of theirs on arirang has around 274k views after a day.


    These may all seem like low numbers compared to top groups but they're very good for a nugu or mid tier group. Especially a nugu group with two songs.


    Tiktoks about them are also getting very high engagement.


    I tried listening to the song to see what the fuss was about and I was shocked it was really good. I think it's a full English song and their pronunciation is really good.

  • It is doing really well in Japan (and only Japan). It isn’t viral but Japan really picked up the song.

  • Sounds horrible sorry

    That makes sense. Most of the content and comments I was seeing were in Japan. Even if they're not viral it's nice to see them doing well.

  • Well... I surely helped with these streams and I'm not from Asia. It's the only 2022 "kpop" song I've been listening to on spotify lately besides Love Dive, Illusion and Deep. I think XG is doing pretty decent internationally, their songs are good so they deserve it.

  • The rapping voices are so annoying in Mascara like little kids
