There is some strange charting going on with Attention and Melon.
It was steady at around 490k for several days leading up to this past weekend. Then after Pink Venom released, there was a day when Attention literally skyrocketed randomly, gaining 43k UL in one day, i think it was Sunday. That's insane for a song that has been out since July on YT, and there wasnt a single thing i could find that could account for it in terms of the members making an impactful variety show appearance or otherwise going viral for something.
Kinda raised my eyebrows, especially given how this jump happened to coincide exactly with Pink Venom's big push. Like you can easily see why Pink Venom has been growing given it just came out, but why is Attention doing this? It's up 50k UL in a week
Not really thats just the way the charts are. In SK they listen to music during the week and peaks are times going to and from work hence twitter blinks telling people to stop panicking because the true test of PV will be on Monday when the GP are actually looking to listen to music. Attention also fell in UL's over the weekend and gained loads again Monday as always happens to every song over the weekend. Thats why fans always get bad at Friday releases, it works for billboard but that shafts them for Korean tracking and charting.
Also Attention is still going viral, they are actively promoting it unlike PV, it has a pop up store, they are doing magazine covers, lots of tiktoks, finally releasing YT content like their coffee shop and cookie making. Alot of the content mention dropped Monday as well and remember, as the GP go to check out BP's and IVE's new releases they are curious about number 1 and listen to attention.
