Rank the Kpop metrics

Quote from bbgc

Sure add it and rank it.

Concerts definitely are important

Merch sales are like physicals.

With CFs we are moving away from the music, then next would be acting fees and appearance fees etc

Real estate?

I rather not.

sorry my bad I had to re-read your post again

are you limiting the kpop metrics to song/album and thus not the group as a whole? thus merch and touring aren't that relevant to song/album criteria but more so for the group as a whole?

Iirc just viewing the video for 30 secs will make it count as a view for the ad. That's why to check for real non ad views YouTube charts are used. It removes all ad views. Let's just say except bts and bp and some hybe groups all have extremely inflated views.

also if you rewatch an mv over and over again youtube filters the views, but ad views only need to be 30 seconds and aren't filtered so it's way easier to rack up the views. Also older SM groups like SNSD/SJ/Shinee/EXO don't get ads bought for them (but some of their solos do).

Also someone said that ads are never more than 20% but there are some SM/JYP groups that got like 60 million+ views during their first weeks but less than 20 million when the youtube chart came out, so they actually hugely inflate the final numbers for several groups.
