Only BTS and BlackPink both not ranking too high in Tiktok are in both rankings.
The Youtube ranking has two nonKPoppers (Lee JIeun and Lim Youngwoong), two ancient relics (Taeyeon and BigBang) and 4 not found in Tiktok rankings (IVE, GIdle, aespa and New Jeans).
txt, Twice , Enhypen, Kepler, Itzy, SKZ, NCT and SVT are only found in the Tiktok rankings.
Given that youtube contains more acts who are kind of , well, 'long staying', I think people should stop paying attention to youtube views of various acts and concentrate on tiktok views.
