Which achievements this year impressed you the most?

The "I'm here for the music only" bye!!

Not a success stan, buuuuut i feel like this year we had really crazy achievements and by several groups, which is obviously good so just sharing mine without the need of fanwars.

- NewJeans having 3 songs in the Top10 on Melon.

This one is crazy, i know they are still new and whatever, but they did amazing, peaks are super high and i am seriously impressed!

- Ive debut and two consecutive cbs topping SK charts.

One of the groups that impresses me the most each cb! Their tt are AMAZING and their growth unbelievable!!

- Ive international numbers.

They again. I think their Spotify peaks, charts numbers etc is amazing. Really amazing! And they are still a rookie!!

- Aespa physical game!!!

The way Aespa 2nd album sold 1.6M is absolutely crazy! Their fanbase is crazyyyy and i think they'll have the biggest gg fanbase if they keep this growth.

- BP Spotify streams and YT numbers.

I didn't expect them to debut at N1 and stay there for 3 consecutive days and i didn't expect a 90M views in 24h. I'm glad BP keeps increasing each cb!

- BP pre order numbers for Born Pink.

We are at 2M pre orders which is unseen for ggs (for now), so a happy surprise!

And that's it for what i remember and just ggs bc i don't keep up with bgs, I'm a casual listener..

Only BLACKPINK achievements, everyone else was mid. Fight me

I will

BP queens!

Quote from sorecer

a lot were very impressive but for me the most was IVEs digital success specially global. I didn't though or were expecting they would go that hard

Imagine with a record deal in the west and they actually trying it (I hope they wait at least a year though) but the interest of the public is there

They really debuted and are slaying since then!!

Yes, for now their release are being a hit so no need to change it.

Quote from Yunjinwhatever

new jeans were the highlight plus their songs were pretty nice

Agree! NewJeans punched everyone in the face and are still laughing! Kkkkkkkkk

Quote from carrot-juice

I'm just impressed by the GG power this year overall,it's giving 2009 Hallyu Wave teas and I'm here for it

I feel like k-pop fans,especially GG stans,will look back at this year quite fondly.

For real! GGs said: "b, time to overshine again!!" and they did!

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

Everything you mentioned. Also Love Dive's longevity, and the fact IVE has 2 songs from 2 separate comebacks in the top 10. Crazy.

Also the fact that every GG from a big agency that has debuted this year has sold like 400k+ at debut

Wait, Love Dive is still in the Top10?? wow!

Quote from Ramasson

def aespa's sales

Totally Aespa sales!!! Their tour power will be crazy imo!

Quote from chilean-stan1

BLACKPINK maintaining their MLS with 2 years of hiatus and leading the ggs then to massively rise to a non touchable level

I'm so dumb bc what MLS means?????? But yes, their 2020 records are yet to be broken and they just did the impossible with Pink Venom!

Quote from ZombiePopsicle

Newjeans' insane digitals for a month old group. Their achievements have been great, especially considering that before debut we all thought they would only get to Melon top 20 and sell like 100k albums

Also, txt finally becoming million sellers after 4th gen stans made fun of them for not reaching it for a whole year, then it becomes one of the best selling 4th gen albums with stability on billboard 200, loving the karma

Dpr ian getting #146 on billboard 200 with a really small fandom, I'm so proud of him

Also the rise of gg physicals in general has been really nice to see this year, with multiple million sellers now like BP, aespa, twice and possibly ive soon. Even newly debuting 2022 groups are selling well with lots of them getting 400k-500k album sales.

The way i forgot Dpr Ian when i was really surprised with his charting!!!!!

Quote from laleria

Not in any particular order:

• G-idle having a very popular song after everything that happened last year.
• New Jeans crazy digital success in Korea
• Aespa breaking sales record

I KNEW I FORGOT TOMBOY!!!

YES, ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE MOMENTS AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO THEM!!

Quote from laleria

I think Blackpink can join to the list with crazy sales in September

Amen! We hope so!!

Quote from laleria

And also SNSD digital success this year - they are still strong and loved in Korea

Yes laleria!! Keep bringing the tea!!!

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

Yup, just checked and it's #7.

Wow! They really are amazing! But yk . Love Dive is such a bop!

Quote from fdblink

New Jean, the other achievements I pretty much expected so it wasn't as surprising but New Jeans really caught everyone off guard, both past and present.

Valid... Kkkkkkk but yes, everyone was like "b, what? No way" kkkkk

Quote from chilean-stan1

monthly listeners, people that have been hearing Blackpink music during the day

Oh.. ok.. time to remember it kkkk

Quote from catzi

ive selling 2m with only 3 singles, debuting #23 on spotify global, debuting on us chart, while keeping their strike of hits in korea is honestly insane

You just described everything that impressed me! And having the It Girl of this gen!

Quote from anat4ever

That SNSD came back at all is unbelievable to me, let alone for their 15 year milestone

They really did incredible well! Btw the song is a major bop!

Quote from Reclaimer
