Zico, NewJeans, Ive all hit Melon #1 but not Blackpink. What’s the issue?

Lack of promotion? Song not good enough?

Blackpink hit top 3 on Spotify and Apple global? Why not them?

Stupid question right? Korea just likes those songs better, blackpink is doing great

promo.

the fact bp got 2 songs in with no promo is insane. can't wait for ppl to respond to me and say one inkigayo performance and a vma performance is better promo than playing on one of the biggest and trendiest shows in korea rn, going on multiple popular variety shows and performing at multiple university festivals, and performing multiple times on every music show.

bp's songs don't age very well tbh

blackpink were #1 on Spotify global for 6 days they don't need a watermelon app #1 that doesn't matter in the rest of the world

reality more people listen to BP's music in Thailand/Philippines than SK and that shows you that BP are not even really in the same ballpark as other kpop groups they have a huge audience

People didn't like the songs

Spotify relevant blah blah worldwide blah blah

Melon irrelevant blah blah Korea blah blah

They are #1 on a dead chart but they can't compete when there are actual popular songs being released, that's all I read here

Well all have smith BP didn't domestic promo

Zico taking over after like when it was proclammed as national hit or smith, just like 2 or smith weeks after this song was release prove how powerful promotion is

Pink Venom did hit #1 on Melon Top 100 for an hour or two.

you people are so pathetic lmao BP are 6 years into their careers doing amazing!

ive, newjeans and zico will be a bunch of nobodies in 6 years

No issue, different people like different songs, even the same people may like different songs at different times.

BP does not always chart at #1 on K-charts, but has been consistently charting top 5 or top 10, with few #1s.

So no big deal.

IVE and NJ, new comer advantage, good songs.

Zico - I tend to think S.K actually likes Hiphop far more than they like K-pop, hence the success of SMTM which can demolish all Kpop acts. So that worked for him this time.

3rd gen is over (except BTS obviously) and bp will disband soon

SEA doesn't chart in SK, simple math.

Pink venom did hit number 1 on melon briefly, just not on the daily chart.

Quote from Popcorn & Zero Coke Mukbang (375)

so being more popular in SEA than their home country is somehow a flex?

y'all are racist af. if a group is more popular in the us than korea, its cool but being popular in sea is something bad? you guys are so obsessed with koreans (an asian subgroup) yet put down other asian groups for what? losers.

They all rigged their way ro #1.

Blackpink the organic
