which idols do you think really care about charting and sales

    every idol care and if you think otherwise you're delusional :wellr:

    and? nothing about that means that she doesn't care lol. why do people act like it is a bad thing??

    she has the recognition to afford the weird hours releases and she knows it


    she obviously care and she talked about it right before every of those release you mentioned.

    just cause she said she's ready for the moment she'll not be n1 at every release it doesn't mean she does not care


    charting means people listen and appreciate you and your music why would they not want to be listened lmao and it's also a measure of how relevant you are( so how you get cfs...)

    The Stans, although theyre opposite of an idol, but they are close enough due to how close they follow the artists every move.

    iu cares in the way that all idols/singers care but tbh I feel like she cares less than most others. fans are always begging her to promote more but she does it only for full albums. even mini albums get paid dust for promotions. so either she's really confident in her charting or she just doesn't care as much

    as an Uaena i agree
    everyone care is part of the job

    IU is someone who can take some "risks" but yet she care
    she talk a lot about chart performances before in interviews
    and last year she said that maybe in her 30s she will not be the #1 anymore and its will be fine even though at the same time she still reach new levels in the ent industry

    this mean she care/cared but also she is in a point that can accept if does not get then

    she still want new levels ****

    Seems to be rehash of what I said, with redundant lmaos..


    IU/BTS are at stage where they can take risks and still succeed.

    Before they reached this stage, of course they would/should care - nothing wrong with it.


    But the OP did not mention any timeline, then it is assumed as the current situation - wherein IU, BB have made some chart-uncaring moves.

    again, and? that doesn't mean that they don't care? they know that, at their level, it doesn't matter.

    imo uncaring and risky aren't the same


    She literally posted about charts the day before strawberry moon was released, cause she cares and cared telling uaenas not to worry for when the time she'll not be popular as she's been until now.
    She said the whole lilac album was made as if "every song were a title track" (aka that people would like).

    In her documentary her producer that stayed with her basically her entire career said she always try to find the middle ground between great music that she likes and music that the public likes.


    that's called caring about staying on top. and seems pretty recent


    and bts whatever you say has a cushion called army big enough that in the end doesn't even make that much difference even if the "general public" won't care that much , not to say it seems to me they very much care about charts. look at how happy they were for the HOT100 n1

    ? she posted the day before "strawberry moon" to tell uaenas not to stress about charting - she said "listen to the song once when it comes out but then go to sleep, don't worry about streaming all night long"


    so yes iu is aware of streaming culture but I'm confused now telling uaenas don't worry about streaming = caring about charts.

    This is an insane question. All idols would rather their hard work lead to more people listening. It means more people enjoying their work as well as more money in their bank account.


    IU can tell people not to stream because she's never been unsuccessful. I love IU but she prob wouldn't say stuff like that if she was coming off a few flops.

    Awareness is not same as Caring.


    I forgot which award it was. IU said something like "she will be an artist who cares for quality, than for digitals".

    In 2017 Autumn Morning and 2021 Strawberry moon, she preferred to release songs fitting their theme, even though not suitable for charts.


    I don't know what more evidence is needed that 'charting' is not always a priority for her.


    It does not mean that she is not aware or that she is ok if the song does not chart well. Just that she is in a position to prioritize other things, like the suitable timing to fit the song etc., than just chart impact.


    Bigbang did something similar with "Still life", yet are the top UL pullers in the recent months.


    All artists are aware of the charts, but how much they care for it depends on where they are in their careers.

    yea you're right i didn't write all. in that post she talked about how she accepts her popularity will end one day and that uaenas should't be stressing for her


    what i'm saying is that she talks enough about charts and their importance to make me say she cares

    I don't think BTS cares anymore or they wouldn't have released that boring Yet to Come.

    too bad quality and digitals aren't necessarily mutually exclusive as some people like to think...

    as i said already "in her documentary her producer that stayed with her basically her entire career said she always try to find the middle ground between great music that she likes and music that the public likes." meaning what people likes [and will listen :) ] is on her mind while doing music


    and AGAIN risky is not not caring


    i should honestly stop replying since you skipped all i said and went searching to something to make your point lol


    ps. this post was about caring about charts not sure how you jumped to them being a priority but whatever

    her priority is slaying while doing what she wants :siptear:

    They all care since their companies care. You're delulu if you think BTS doesn't care about charting. They probably haven't cared this much since their rookie years.

    I'd bet that idols/groups have a target with each release that they need to reach for it to be a success and get that money, which is probably based on a bunch of formulas and calculations depending on how much everything cost and how much is need to turn profit from that.

    So they probably stress until they hit that target then relax a little bit for everything over that.
