why are aespa and nct’s streams soooo bad considering they sell more than others?

    Approved the thread.

    Their fandoms might be less motivated to stream

    Aespa streams are normal for kpop group. But NCT really lacks in that part. I think because aespa songs are more public friendly

    I don't care what anyone says but a girl group selling more than Aespa should have streams comparable to Blackpink or at least even half that. And if it's because they're more popular in China then why aren't they breaking any of the Chinese digital records since they sell more than Blackpink there?

    NCT fans are unserious and do not stream for any reason

    Look at aespa Spotify stream even thier bside has good streams unlike other ggs

    Im nctzen and yes i listen to their music via cd player and downloaded music on my phone

    You can't attack Aespa for not having BP digitals and at the same time ignore all the boy groups that have double to triple Aespa's sales but can hardly chart in Melon 100 and have lousy streams.


    For anybody who pretends to not know about this: album sales is a sign of fanbase size, digitals/charting is a sign of general public interest especially when it's about Korean charts.


    To illustrate it even more, Sistar had fantastic charting but abysmal sales numbers, and an illustration of the complete opposite, many boy groups have had huge million+ sales yet can hardly chart.

    Cause the numbers are inflated, simple as that. Even if you go to chinese platforms their streaming is not really setting the world on fire

    Streaming is the number 1 thing way in the world to hear music, if aespa has that big ass fanbase why their streams aren't good enough to debut them in global spotify? or why their tts are stuck under the 200m when other groups have went over that number already? why did IVE beat them?

    the urge to make up things because one cant handle some groups do better than their own bias :pepe-cringe:

    their streams are as good or better than their competition

    Simple. Because IVE's songs were liked better. Stop equating streams to fanbase size, they are 2 completely different metrics ffs.

    Aespa sales are on par with the 4th gen bgs so I'm not sure what "doube to triple sales but can hardly chart in melon top 100" means

    Their song Girls is too long. It got draggy. People have the attention span of a goldfish, it should’ve been 3:15 min

    i stan nct mainly because of the music but i don't stream their music regularly. i am often busy with work and other real life matters and besides, NCT have many songs, last year alone they release around 80 new songs so even when i am in the mood and have time to stream regularly it literally takes days for a song to come back on shuffle because of how extensive their catalogue is. i don't stream music for the records, i just do it for fun. i genuinely love their music and i am sure it is the same for many other fans here. i used to post in the guild and other nct threads and i noticed that nct fandom is one of the fandoms that take music seriously the most in this forum

    NCT 127 still in the top 10 most streamed Kpop groups on Spotify, but Spotifyologists still talk about how bad they’re doing. All the other Kpop groups that are behind them must not exist then.
