While your desperation comes from your own dumb greedy bc you wanted BP doing insane numbers just for bragging rights etc, i do agree that a 2 years hiatus didn't help BP at all.
But seeing how in 2017 YGE just gave 1 song for BP makes me think even more that they just don't care. Looking at the amount of songs BP has right now, yes, they (YGE) don't care.
I knew smth was odd with the shipping. I told u

I don't think the hiatus its the reason, their streaming numbers all increase in the us,the biggest streaming numbers come from america
this is yg stupid ass shipping delay
its obv by the numbers in hanteo
It's not even about the position
It's that they are predicted to sell only 45K-50K CDs ?

Alot of albums are available in target tho

legendary mandatory military service long hiatus killed momentum
The 2 year hiatus may have mortally wounded the fandom that buys these albums. People still listen to the songs it's clear as day given the Spotify and YT numbers, but that hardcore fandom energy could be lost forever.
But the true reason is even deeper than this.
Father Time.
Every dog has its day, every king has their reign, but at some point, they are fighting something you can never win against.
Father Time.
Even if they had promoted like crazy after The Album, even if they got comeback after comeback, all this would have done is push back the beginning of the end by a year or two at most.
And ultimately, we still don't know if it was Teddy or YGE that destroyed them or if it was the girls decision to pursue other things like acting, modeling, solos, etc. We'll know everything when we hear about contract extension talks. I think the girls will all renew but with the understanding that they will move on and prioritize individual projects.
We are entering the peak of the 4th Age of Kpop. Blackpink is 3rd gen's last champion, fighting valiantly to defend Rome from the savage hordes of the Fourth Age. But eventually, they too will hang up their helmet and lay down their arms. Nothing lasts forever.
Born pink US steaming numbers are predicted to be around 40M-50M (TA did 40M)
Globally it will likely do (170M-190M compared to TA 150M)
Those albums were 50 goddamn dollars, of course the sales were low
YGE really screwed them up. I'd say it's embarrassing for the company, but if anything, I'm sure YG is proud of it in some weird, twisted way. On the positive side though, they're still incredibly popular despite his efforts to screw them up. That just speaks volumes to how big and loyal the fandom is.
Who cares if they're not number one anymore? I'm sure the girls won't lose sleep over it. They're still popular, and that's enough for me. And, even if they aren't popular, I'd still be fine with that. I'll continue to love them the same, no matter their success, whether they have more than one million fans or only one hundred.
Sure, it's great to see them get number one. They deserve it. But other groups and artists deserve it too, and I for one, am more than happy to share the spotlight. BLACKPINK are always so humble, and I want to take after their example and be the type of Blink they would be proud of.

u can see how much their streaming grow, the other part is handled by yg
if they fuck up that there is little blinks can do

Which also doesn't make sense cause PV is doing even better than all of BP singles in the US on streaming
Streams in the us are more or less the same so it's even more shocking physicals are less than TA by like 40% or something
I guess fans preferred to buy concert tickets rather than albums
Did u see this hardcore 🤔

sd too, but digitals and streamins its not smth the company can fuck up, they just they let the sng there
but if a company that is know for fucking a shipping do it again what are we supposed to do
I knw it bc their hanteo sales were weird, bp sell less in weekend but not that low

It's coming for 1M on ktown & 2.5M overall yet it's only selling 45K first week in the US?!
TA only sold 1.2M in 2020 yet it did almost 100K first week in the US
Can't deny we all are but born pink selling half of TA first week in physicals...is absolutely crazy
I guess fans preferred to buy concert tickets rather than albums
it doesnt seem like that by stores sales
Those albums were 50 goddamn dollars, of course the sales were low
They did release 25 USD digipaks & signed versions after wards
It's also discounted to 15usd now on BP shop now
+ The albums available in target ...
it doesnt seem like that by stores sales
Than fans didn't like the fact that it has only 7 new songs because im also very disappointed
I assume?
What could possibly have happened with the shipping tho?
then their numbers could be less in other areas too, like their digitals could have no increase, or yt for videos could not be the same
its half of what they sold in 2020 while ts more or the same? like come on

I'll be honest with u I don't care about #1 position
What I care about is how the album is selling half of what the first one did 2 years ago?
TA sold over 100K physicals first week
Born pink is looking at 45K-50K right now....
spent $640 on tix instead srry bud
Did u see this hardcore 🤔

Streaming an album is something every fan does, but buying? Just a part and this part didn't like how we got 7 new songs and i understand them.
then why they have almost 1m sales in one single site
if fans didn't want to buy it should have show since there (like it happen with 127) but its no the case, jisoo and rosé digipack wouldn't have 100k sales, they wouldn't have even reach 2m preorders in 2 weeks
its out of the fans hands if the company is stupid

That first sentence shocked me. Are you feeling alright Hardy?
I didn't even notice it sold half as much. for some reason. Yeah, that's more of a drop than what I was expecting. YGE sucks.
