In what world it takes 100k listeners to hit number one. Currently I am has 500K unique listeners. The 2020 biggest hits have all reached 4M uls which is the normal standard to consider a hit.
Melon is a Korean streaming platform which has been the leader for decades. Its popularity will not vanish over YouTube. It’s been said for years.
When company brat about a number one they brag about topping melon not YouTube sorry.
Melon absolutely speaks for popularity
The fellow Blue is a very well know YG stan who always talked a lot of bullshit on O*e H*lly* to defend whatever narrative is the best to display YG singers as the most successful. He's kind of a nice guy and pleasant guy, but his analysis are not usually very bright
He used to say how Melon was the only relevant platform, how the world dropped physical albums, and YG was the only company "with vision" for chasing digitals while other companies were wrong to focus on selling albums. Although he never explained to me how SM successfully managed to have much higher revenues than YG for over 18 years straight despite its arguably much poorer digital performance than YG
He even had the nerve to call iKon the third most successful 3rd generation Boygroup, so you can see the level of delusion is high on this one
