Who do you think is winning Best Female Artist at MAMA this year?

Nayeon

Nayeon …she gonna pop pop!

Nayeon would win on the balance of it all but I don't think it's a guarantee Twice attend, so could go elsewhere

Taeyeon. She ruled the charts this year.

Who knows? The MAMA execs get to decide in the end

I think it’ll be Nayeon but I think you can also make an argument for Taeyeon.

I'm actually really curious to see if Nayeon or Taeyeon will win this year. Taeyeon got a PAK and currently has two title tracks in the melon top 100. INVU and Weekend's longevity is insane. But Nayeon has better streams and sales and her unique listeners almost hit 400k. She also did better in Japan and internationally.

Korean digitals is only 20% of the criteria - Nayeon would comfortably win in the rest with the judges the only aspect up in the air, and they will inevitably sway towards whoever decides to attend.

Yeah it's basically between those 2 this year. I think the main thing for Taeyeon is that she was number 1 for like 3 weeks so that's her biggest strength while Nayeon has more album sales.

I don't think international, at least imo, shouldn't seeing as this is supposed to a Korean award show (that pretends to be an all Asian award show lol) but that could be the deciding factor in Nayeon favour.

Or neither shows up and someone else wins lol

Yena, literally the first and only 4th gen soloist to chart in the top 10 of Melon Weekly. Also selling 130k albums already. Plus came out with two SOTY contenders in Vacay and Smartphone.

the current objective metrics point to either taeyeon or nayeon right?

Seriously though, it'll be Taeyeon.

INVU was released in an empty house so it has seem better (3 weeks at 1, PAK etc) but UL peak and weeks in top 10 there is not much difference with POP.

Pop peaked at 368K ULs and did 7 weeks in top 10. INVU peaked at 341K ULs and 9 weeks in top 10.

Their 5 week digital index also has a small gap.

INVU: 95M

Pop: 83M (Nayeon had only two days of tracking for her first week)

Physicals, votes, apple music streams, (MAMA included this in their criteria last year) all things considered Nayeon should win. Even if we're talking about Korean digitals only, it's very close but if Nayeon wins, it wouldn't be unfair.

Others have little to no chance.

Please let it be Nayeon unnie

Nayeon there isn’t anyone else. If seulgi rises on the charts maybe. But let’s see.
