Bigbang has SIXTEEN #1 hits on Melon Weekly Chart.

insane honestly

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

I'm telling you, Bigbang was bigger than IU. IU might have more #1 songs on Melon Weekly at this point (she's probably around 18-20) but that's because BB was cut short due to military and then Burning Sun. If they were left uninterrupted, BB would probably have 25 #1 songs by this point.

For the record, IU have 28 #1 weekly songs on melon.

And mass fandom downloads cant bail you out, this aint Gaon lol, you need REAL UNIQUE LISTENERS.

Actually... ULs only became a thing after 2016

The only BB songs to reach #1 thanks to streaming were Flower Road and Still Life, all other were #1 thanks to downloads

Not that it makes their digital power less impressive but we need some intelectual honesty here

IU has more #1s and better longevity in melon as well. lmao

What’s the point of having many #1 if they don’t really last long on charts.

You mean they had a song spending 50 weeks in top 1 and 17 weeks after fell off the charts? interesting. which song?

Wut? Bigbang has like 50 weeks at #1 on Melon. The next highest is BTS at like 17 weeks. IU probably has over 60 but that includes all her songs after 2017 when BB went to military.

interesting

Kings of Korea.

I'm a fan of both but IU record is better compared to BB in terms of public support for her music in Korea. Maybe bcs her music is much more to Koreans preference. While for BB they are undoubtedly #1 among all generation of idols in terms of Korean support.

Now is 17 then with HSH
