Born Pink underperforming across all metrics & platforms

IS SENDING EXACTLY THE RIGHT MESSAGE ✔️

Lmaoo trust me when I say it, but this barely 8 songs collection after a 23 months hiatus does not deserve to sell 3M copies or pull record breaking streams nor does it deserve to be nominated for stuff like the Grammys

It's laughable that YG/teddy expected their extremely disrespectful put-together release to be not only embraced by blinks but by the industry 💀

Let it be known that born pink underperformance is an absolute positive response to YG antics

To those who are suprised by my declaration lol

Here's what YG expected with born pink :

Physicals = 3M in pre-orders alone & something like 3.2M by now (born pink currently has 2.6M sales) + much higher*expensive* shipments to US/EU

Streaming = Record breaking numbers across all platforms (they described the 8 songs collection as sufficient lmaoo & that each & every song is like crystals that will launch BP career to another level)

I can only hope this means 2023 & beyond releases will have some form of care & thought put into it besides "scamming & milking" the fans & undermining the pinks careers since the company wants all accolades after all 💀

I look forward to seeing/celebrating Born Pink:Reborn & future BP eras getting their flowers in 2023 & beyond(IF YGE & THE PINKS WISH IT) ✔️

Quote from Bpsosoro

You already gave the repack a name💀

Anyways I agree, anyways I can’t believe they thought born pink promotion were enough considering how they went with The Album like… at least the music ate

It has a nice ring doesn't it? Technically I wanted to imply a resurgence, a new lease at life for born pink so I was like... BORN PINK: REBORN is lit 🔥

It's not even the promo alone lol

The music is tainted by rfl & hard to love(love the song but it was not a good decision at all lol)

Quote from killthisfenty

It was lowkey uneventful. They did break records but it didn’t push to stardom they’re in the same situation in 2020. At least right now they’re selling out stadiums.

Deserved!

It's a low quality effort & it's good the records were also low quality

They're lucky the pinks are extremely popular aside from their music

Quote from Wench

Where was the underperformance, I didn't see it but it would probably be useful to the oncie agenda

I did list how it's considered an underperformance by the company

YG expected way more especially the billboard 200 which I forgot to mention, born pink is currently free falling 💀

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

YG simply does not care about launching BP's career into the next level. That's all just marketing talk. BP is simply there as a sponge to soak up Blink money.

Yet they still expected overwhelming support

It's also good for the contract renewals, clearly the pinks need to pressure YG into letting them CB more often/release more music

Quote from doesitneedsaying

The album has also 8 songs, maybe that's the norm for them?

I'm not into number, i know nothing about m faves too lol. Comparing to the album how did born pink do?

Physically it did well,it doubled what TA sold within this period in 2020 but YG wanted it to triple lol

Digitally it did less but that's due to new Chinese rules

Streaming it's officially performing worse than TA across all platforms (domestically & globally)

Quote from Bpsosoro

Honestly it’s the way it was a self made problem for me, RFL was low key pulling numbers even though blinks streamed her to death 2 years before official release. Imagine if it was never leaked…

And hard to love did well despite be8ng rosé solo. But they should’ve used it for her debut or smth…And tbh the whole bsides underperformed compared to The Album bsides, it’s really interesting to me like how did you never know out chart the happiest girl… I’m just not understanding. It’s giving promotion problems to me

The final version of RFL also sucks 💀

BP had more casual fans in 2020 than in 2022, so born pink performance is hard carried by blinks

It's an issue of lack of promo aka visibility + 2 years hiatus

Quote from monalisalove

Amen Rosé akgae. It's what YGE deserves after treating blinks like shit through BP whole career.

It baffles me bc any company would be happy to have such a supportive and loyal fandom like blinks, but no, bitch YGE fucked up once again and even though BP did bring numbers everybody knows the cb was kinda boycotted by the fandom.

Seeing how they literally put RFL as a bside and even a solo, boy, they were asking to be beaten.

The SK charting was a promo problem and this also affected their international charting bc they dropped a fucking album and acted like they did nothing. Unbelievable.

The company overestimated the fandom loyality like yes we whipped for the pinks but NOT to that extent lol

It's true parts of the fandom didn't go all out at all like Lisa's hardcore fans due to her album sales + less casuals checked out their stuff this time 👀

The pinks likely don't think in terms of numbers but milestones...like we got #1 on so so chart,we good lol

The company & Interscope are definitely having 2nd thoughts now, as they should 😌

Quote from killingtime1934

the only thing is sending is the weird expectation u put in a group u said to stan just for their numbers

bp has the best performance by a kpop act this year, and u who stan just for those numbers set your metric based in others

and as much as u want to brainwash yourself bp is not releasing a replakage, the wholes in the tour are festivals, if yg feel like it we might get jisoo solo in oct-nov

that's it

Quote from killingtime1934

yg throw a popcorn part bc of bb#1, if they wanted more beyond that they would have sell remixes, new ver, lowe the price but they did nothing of that

Lmaoo except they did & more 💀

They probably couldn't do remixes cause it doesn't exist lol

They lowered the digital album to $3 instead of $10 & offered signed digital albums

Physically they slashed the digipaks from $25 to $15 & had newly signed versions available

They had the pinks hold streaming & buying parties on station head 💀💀💀💀

It was embarrassing tbh 💀

Quote from loneranger1

Lisa is still doing better...and after all the yg mistreatment it makes me smile

How so tho 👀

Quote from SandyBee3

Hardy… you say 2.6 million sold copies is underperforming?

To YG it is

They absolutely wanted it to sell 3M in pre-orders alone 💀

Quote from nevermindmejin

Your problem is that you set your expectations too high and use BTS as the bar to surpass. Of course that would mean BP underperforms.

Try using GGs as the bar (not just in kpop) and you will be surprised at how amazing BP is doing.

Display Spoiler

I really dislike fans who put such high expectations on acts because are you stanning them for their achievements or music? (This goes to my fandom too, it’s annoying how they are like Asian moms who expect their children to get A ALL the time).

U should've just read what I wrote instead 🚶

Quote from killingtime1934

all that was for the first week like I said, nothing beyond that

aiming for n1 and when they got it they stop

That's ....what I meant

BP shouldn't have to struggle to surpass TA units IF YG didn't royally fuck up 🤷

Quote from dujuduju

isn't shutdown and Pinkvenon is doing better than HyLT and lovesick girl.

Hylt outperformed both on YT

LSG/hylt outperformed both in Korea

Hylt outperformed both on Apple music

Spotify is only the platform BP singles outperformed TA singles & don't forget TA had additional single (ice cream)

Also hylt outsold PV in China

Quote from neigl

thats far more than the average Kpop Release. Lmao.

I didnt really like pink venom so since nobody told me its worth it to listen to the new songs im still in my aiiyl, lsg, stay era.

Today im gonna Check Out the new Woo!ah! release. Maybe i find time to also give Born pink a try.😅

U should listen to SD atleast if u haven't, it's widely acknowledged as BP best song yet

Quote from SooYoung

The album >>>>>>>>>>>>>> born pink

TA has more Replay value since the songs were all more hip-hop centric like all the songs sans bet u wanna & YNK were bangers

Born Pink is true to its name,the songs are more soft & not outright bangers so yeah it's understandable
