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
