October and November are stacked with big releases

Le sserafim but I'll listen to them all

Eta: and ofc jungkook, duh

Don't forget to add IVE as well

Red Velvet, (G)I-DLE & Wheein

Quote from Icaro_Ribeiro

I don't remember the last time time we had so many big groups stacked in just 9 weeks. The charts and sales will be interesting to follow

Any comeback you are more excited?

Didnt we have Jisoo, Ive, Jimin, LSRFM, Aespa, and Gidle within a 6 week span in April-May?

As for groups, i picked Aespa, Idle and LSRFM obviously.

But i will be curious to see if RV is still relevant digitally and to see how the new 4.5 gen BGs do, Riiiiize and ZB1.

I will also be monitoring album sales this time, i think they have finally plateaued for Kpop overall (which is ok, album sales in Kpop are like 100x what they are in the US, it was unsustainable lol). As long as album sales dont crater 50 percent or more like they did for my Izone girls .

Korean digitals will be interesting. It almost seemed like we had a blowoff peak early this year with so many GGs dominating the top 10. Now, Ive flopped with their latest release and even NJ is showing some unusual weakness, not sure SS or ETA will match I AM or Ditto for longevity in top 10 of Melon. Is Korean GP finally wanting at least a temporary respite from the GG sound?

The results so far JK > GG > BG. Somehow expected.

IVE is bigger than half of this list

-

LS, JK, Enhypen and Ive

JK for sure

Just heard IVE's teaser and it seemed good.

Then Gidle, lssfm

Enhypen, Le Sserafim, aespa
