What needs to happen for people to see them as the 2nd most popular girl group?
They've just destroyed Twice's Spotify numbers with over 2m streams in a day for After Like, a 1/3rd more than Twice's peak which is 1.5. Internationally is where you'd think Twice should hold the upper hand but that's a massive gap they've just made on Twice. I'm not sure if they just have really good playlisting but shocked at that.
Even in the US where JYPE has been pushing Twice massively and Twice are billed as big by their fans after stadium dates, Ive are at 82nd on the US Spotify chart with 317k streams. Twice's peak is still Feel Special from 2019 at 142nd with 253k streams. Their English single in the The Feels had its debut even lower despite being after more US promotions. Physicals they are already ahead in some aspects.
They currently have all of the numbers outside of touring which they haven't done yet.
