Stats of Top 3 boy groups and Top 3 girl groups

Quote from Aeicy

if not for red velvet who would be in the top 3 gg??

2NE1 or SNSD would be a better comparison but for some reason, New Jeans has surpassed everyone but Twice and BP, I can not. And it's just based on Korean charting alone.... The way people set up those girls should be studied.

You had me at Bigbang but lost me at New Jeans. I know next to nothing about Red Velvet, so I won't speak on what I don't know but from the data compiled, asides from PAKS and Melon, what exactly has New Jeans surpassed Red Velvet in????? It's not the touring, the youtube views, Spotify+Melon streams, BB Japan charting etc??? Even with BB, Seventeen got them in physical albums and Japanese charting and isn't so far off their streaming on YouTube or Spotify.

Yep, you bring up some valid points. I think we're both hinting at the difficulty of separating who's hot at the moment with all-time success. I agree that NewJeans hasn't surpassed Red Velvet from an overall perspective. On the other hand, if we let's say define "current" success as success over the last year or so, then NewJeans deserves to be there. The time frame really should be specified when we're having these sort of "top 3" discussions.

Sometimes (always) it feels like SM didnt expect Red Velvet to do well and so they just didnt have a plan for them

I like when chart stats are laid out black + white because it's amazing how much fans lie about something so concrete and easily accessible. They just assume certain acts have the same achievements as others and often no one corrects them lol. (Or they'll confuse, like, iTunes and the Hot 100, true amateur stuff.)

I respect the shade.
