I don’t find it that surprising New Jeans have more Spotify streams than YouTube

Only their antifans are gonna argue that it's weird despite Spotify being almost exclusively music and massive stream numbers being the target of the app across the board, not just kpop.

Just people being afraid of a bunch of kids being popular

This is correct and all artists outside of kpop have way more streams on Spotify than they do on their MVs on YouTube.

People who’s lives don’t revolve around kpop will want to play the songs while walking around, studying, working out, etc. Why would they pull up a YouTube MV to listen. It’s common sense and not a conspiracy as everyone wants it to be.

True. I’m not a newjeans stan (I only recognise Minji and Daniella) and don’t feel the need to watch them perform (I don’t like their dance). But I enjoy their songs and most of their songs are on my Spotify playlist. Newjeans has many casual listeners, it’s very obvious.

I don't have the attention span to watch youtube videos these days.

I mean in general i listen to music in a way that it just doesnt make sense for a video to be streaming.

I’m commuting: cant pay attention to a screen.

I’m working out: Can’t have a video skipping forward and backward and having interludes breaking the music momentum

I’m in the shower: its not feasible to have the video.

Like music videos arent my main way to consume music and I’m sure I’m in the majority

also Newjeans fan ( multi stans)
I wonder
if the allegation is true
did HYBE really buying 500 playlist for Newjeans mediaplay?
My answer is possible

unbias opinion

You get out on popular playlists when you’re popular. Kpop fans really have no idea how anything works and use random words.

well they did say ''unbias opinion'' as if that's a thing

sorry I couldn't help but point that out--

kfans know even less about Spotify than Ifans

not my problem I just sent it here
you are example of typical key board warrior

NGL i thought this is another thread to undermine NJs' achievements... we're having many of that recently

I agree with OP. Non-fans or antifans who are bitter about NJs' numbers always use the concepts card to downplay them but then can't explain how their spotify streams and even their audios on youtube out-stream their mv views. It's obvious people are liking the sound much more than the visuals.
It's really not that hard to admit people like NJs for their music but whatever makes these pressed souls sleep well at night i guess

Take the L and go away.

I forgot
Spotify also not a exclusive to Koreans
it an international music platform
don' t run away or cry 🥱✌
afterall
both of us are newjeans fans 😋

Their views also getting divided by so many videos but they are setting audio stream records on spotify. They trend like western act in this regard but audio streams in YouTube also have massive number. People are here for their music.

I mean their targeted audience (west) isn't really in youtube anymore so why would they invest money there
