BP surpassed twice in 2020 with flying colors like it wasn't even close...they absolutely obliterated them 💀
Fast forward to 2023 & BP v twice is actually a thing again cause guess what? Twice hustled HARD since 2020 & even tho they will never be able to go toe to toe with BP music performance wise, they have quantity & intense drive to actually be BIG & that always pays off to some extent (example stadium shows & physicals records)
BP took a 2 years hiatus & CB with without doubt the most disrespectful & disappointing album ever in K-pop 🚶
On top of that,they didn't promote it at all & are now holding one of if not the most expensive world tour by a female act ever 🚶
In an ideal world, BP would be at 50-60 songs discography automatically making them the best selling GG & have a massive streaming lead that can't be challenged by a rookie
BP doesn't have those ONLY because their label head absolutely despises them 🤷
Has the ship sailed on BP? No not even close, even without new music in 2023 they're about to get much MUCH more popular globally due to their mega expensive world tour (tour is basically 2nd best promo after releasing music)
2024&beyond could still be BP domination years in K-pop but that depends on what the pinks & teddy want tbh so yeah we'll find out soon ig
