1 year later I revist Born Pink performance & it's actually a smash all things considered
After witnessing Billie & Olivia sophomore efforts,it's clear BP has excelled where they didn't (no doubt thanks to blinks lol)
Both HTE & Guts had a 100M decrease in weekly debut streams on Spotify while BP actually increased by 30M+ streams
Both HTE & Guts had 2 more songs than their predecessors while Born Pink had a 7+1 leaked tracklist💀
Both HTE & guts have the same level of pre-release promo & singles output + have higher budgets while Born Pink has lesser pre-release singles & lesser budget
Born Pink has zero post release promo...
Born Pink is alot more expensive like 150% more expensive than TA internationally but still it sold the same or more as it's predecessor in every market except US(only 15K decrease)
Despite all that, Born Pink still managed to absolutely smash almost all of TA debut + longetivity records
BLACKPINK is one of a kind & their 3rd album will show that much 💯
