[enter-talk] DO YOU GUYS AGREE THAT BLACKPINK IS THE BIGGEST GIRL GROUP IN HISTORY?

Girl group only? No but Kpop girl group it depends. But yeah I think you can make a decent argument they are the most popular and biggest Kpop GG in history and definitely one of the biggest GG period in history.

I think domestically they aren’t he biggest ever but for the 3rd gen they definitely have the best ability to attract the general public’s attention. I don’t think they have many long lasting hit songs in terms of stikability past their chart time at least not since their debut. But internationally there isn’t much competition. I think others groups have many achievements that BP don’t have but putting everything together, the argument for BP is definitely hard to beat.

In history? No. In kpop right now? They are one of the biggest.

if we are talking about KPOP girl groups yes but for western girl groups it's spice girls

Yes as in Kpop girl group, history Spice Girls.

Yes they are the biggest K-pop GG

Nope. That title belongs to Destiny's Child or Spice Girls. But they're definitely the biggest idol GG.

Not in the US. Globally, wouldn't Spice Girls still be the biggest? BP might be second after them, i dont remember how much of an impact Little Mix or Destiny's Child had outside the US and Western Europe.

In Kpop there is no doubt they are the most successful group in terms of reach but there are other predecessors whose impact and legacy I consider bigger than Blackpink's

They are the biggest girl group in Kpop history. Just facts.

Globally, they wreck every other GG by a country mile and it's not even close.

In Korea, they are behind Twice, SNSD, 2NE1 and several others in terms of digital success. However, their impact within Korean culture in general seems to be greater than any of them when it comes to name recognition and popularity.

Korea is a niche audience when it comes to Blackpink. They are overall above all those groups you mentioned.

Destiny's child? Maybe in the us, in europe they can't come close to Spice Girls

The answer is no. It's spice girls

In history I consider them part of the trifecta, Spice Girls, Destiny's Child and BLACKPINK. Each one of them had huge superstars in their line up, consistently got the focus of the gp with massive hits, toured majorly and each represent their country's invasion to the pop culture.

In kpop, BP is number 1 followed by SNSD. SK is another history, but kpop has expanded massively and BP still got a few of the 4th gen groups following their steps, plus BP does have a good longevity in SK, in their 7th year they are still charting without promo despite all their peers being surpassed plus they have 2 of the biggest gg songs ever in SK, D4 and AIIYL, the later charts every year at some point and despite being a seasonal appearance, its the only summer song by a gg that does it consistently

This idea that they don’t have long lasting hit songs makes no sense when you actually look at charting patterns and trends. You realise this right.

The knetz have spoken. Who are we, as filthy iroaches to tell them they are wrong about their top gg

If we talk about money, then yes. If we talk about talent and music, then is Red Velvet.

No I don't,

Spice Girls biggest girl group in history. BlackPink biggest Kpop girl group in history.

they aren't behind twice what are you on? twice's reign only lasted for a few years blackpink surpassed them their impact and longitivity in Korea is something that no other girl group has ever achieved. Longitivity in digitals is something blackpink has over other girl groups for 7 years. Blackpink will ever be remembered as the biggest GG while twice only their few songs in their early years but as group it will be Blackpink. they are ones that inspired newer generations.

Isn't that Spice Girls?

Koreans dunno Spice Girls?

Actually this, BP in SK is above most ggs outside of SNSD in impact, there is a reason why the 4th-5th gen idols massively look up to them as cites them as their role models and the members are known inside the industry.

Putting them behind "had been" acts like 2ne1, who are not as remembered as people wants them to be in sk, is wrong, specially considering that BP outdo them with the stats and less songs

Many would argue that the best girl group of all time is The Supremes. They hd 12 #1 hits.

Who are the best-selling girl groups of all time? No need to look further! Here are the 13 top-selling female groups in the world:

Stats can be deceiving. Only time will tell. This applies to boybands like bts too.

They have already joined the select group with spice girls, tlc and destinys child and will end up above them

YES. Next question.

as always the question isn't are they the biggest

the question should be what are the criteria and metrics and weighting used to determine "biggest"

They're about 2 massive albums & world tours away from being crowned the G.O.A.T GG ever in history so by 2027 for sure (they will also obviously nab the best selling GG in history tag by then)

Maybe

Maybe not

It depends I guess

In kpop? Sure.

In general? Only kpop fans will remember BP decades from now. Those tour and album sales are irrelevant in the long run. NONE of their songs will stand the test of time unlike the songs of TLC, The Supremes, Destiny’s Child, Spice Girls….

Depends on the part of the world lol. In many parts of the world no one has any idea what a destiny’s child song even sounds like nor TLC etc so this is a weird take.

“Only kpop fans” is such a weird take as well when there are kpop fans all over the world.

Yeah that’s not happening. Near impossible to take that title from Spice Girls

Yeah but being the greatest isn’t just a numbers game bud.

The level of influence and reach Spice Girls had will be hard to replicate due to how people consume media now. Blackpink are easy to avoid depending on what media you follow or listen to, the Spice Girls weren’t.

Did you not see the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony when people from every country in the world were jamming to their 15 year old songs.

I dunno.

Sometimes I see an article on Twice's recent concert numbers and they look extremely impressive.

For active groups, definitely BP and Twice are so far ahead of everyone else.
