so basically one hit wonders?

To answer the thread's question, the closest thing I can think of right now would be "RBB" after "Bad Boy" for Red Velvet. "RBB" isn't a bad song. It's actually a fun and great song, but at the time it released, I remember being disappointed because it was nothing like the masterpiece that was "Bad Boy." If it had taken a different name, I would have had different expectations.

your reply ironically demonstrated how bad of a choice it was for sm to pick rv’s follow-up song to bad boy lol bc it actually wasn’t rbb, but power up sandwiched between the two Poor banana song always gets forgotten like the middle child it was lol it initially even got paks for rv, proving people were highly tuning in for them after the success of bad boy, but alas power up killed off all the hype and no one even remembers it now 😔 at least rbb was controversial but memorable

agree with NMIXX

Whatever 50/50 releases or already released after cupid

To be fair, 50/50 case is different.

Barbie dream (OST) was already having so much hype and decent streaming UNTIL the controversy kicked in and the MV+promotion for Barbie dream halted

for me, i will choose

Twice - followed up ICSM with alcohol free and scientist, those totally messed up their direction. I really thought they are going to stick with ICSM kinda sound moving forward

NMIXX - LMLT with Party o'clock. The inconsistency is really killing themselves.

StayC - follow up Run2u with Beautiful Monster. Dont get me wrong, BM is a wonderful song but obviously the public liked them for their cheerful vibes so BM is not really a good choice. You can see how almost all their cheerful vibe songs chart the best including Teddy bear

Aespa - Next level with Life's too short (prerelease). Dont get me wrong on this. I didnt count Dream Comes true whcih was a special release and illusion (a promo track). To me, LTS basically killed the whole momentum cause it is so out of sync with their concept/direction/sound.. Girls is in line and is not a bad song. Its flopping was totally due to people prefering illusion (a promo track) over Girls AND obviously LTS

Scientist slander

I have a real hate boner for Real Love because it really killed OMG's hype after their Nonstop-Dolphin-DDD trilogy. Summer comes is okay.

Just right was a bop and Got7 followed it with If You Do which wasn't as good. Remember when got7 had potential to be as big as Stray kidz

Put it into your own words! F for plagiarism.

Not against the rules, though. I just think it would be more rewarding for you to offer your own take on it.

Sorry a bit unrelated question I made an emblem for my guild do you know how long it will take for it to approved

It pains me to say this but Kep1er We Go

you mean kepler’s up lol we go is a fromis 9 song

Man songs containing “up” in their title are not having a good time rn in this thread

Monoland flopped with bam

OnlyOneOf had a very strong debut and their first 2-3 MV also got a lot views, but than they changed into an LGBTQ-kinda boygroup and many people stoped focusing on them

i might be the only soul who genuinely enjoy party o clock

That is because most of the forum was 10 year old kids at the time.

Bar Bar Bar blow up mostly because it was viewed as a funny thing, not because the song was that great, even if the song was good. So sometimes you need to distinguish between a hit because it was good or because it was some other stuf that made it vira if you will judge the follow up. It's next to impossible to do a good follow up on a viral song like Bar Bar Bar, a bit similar how it's hard to make a follow up on Gangnam Style, it only works one time.

BlackPink -> From Love Sick girls to Pink Venom and Shut down

Nct 127 -> From Punch to Sticker

STAYC -> From masterpiece that is Beautiful Monster to Poppy and everything they are releasing right now, I just don't like it

Oh My Girl -> From NonStop/Dolphin to DunDun Dance, Real Love and Summer Comes.

It was fun for me too but got old really fast but when it came out my mind was "beep beep jingling jingling" 24/7. Surprisingly dice/cool/tank still sound fresh for me.

Dun Dun Dance is by far their best song.

Baam because it was too similar to BBoom BBoom

Anything Winner released after Really Really

Pentagon with Naughty Boy didn't live up to the hype of Shine and popular members were absent/removed

I didn't like it at all

even if they weren't 10 years old no ones knows about the follow up song...

but it's still a hit song no? regardless of whether it's good or bad or otherwise

and who is to say what is "good" and "bad" - good and bad are subjective - there are people who think IU's good days or BTS' spring day is a "bad" song since they don't like ballads...

there are others who really like nmixx' o.o or whatever other "bad" song

goodnes or badness is subjective - whether a song is a hit is up to the metrics

I have to say bts's english releases after mots7. They were obviously playing towards their overseas audience, and it worked but the songs are mid at best.
