So uhm…. newjeans doesnt have competition

omg lost to super shy. that's unfortunate

I am still obsessed with GODS. So good-!

i wish the fandom would talk less about charting. i don’t want them to be a charting phenomenon only, and it might influence them to make more chart friendly music

gods is such a quality switch-up, they pulled it off masterfully. clearly easier said than done

Agreed. Hopefully MHJ will know better and not fall into that trap.

If your company pays to get your songs in the biggest spotify playlists all the time while the competition doesn't then of course you won't have competition, why are people acting surprised about this all the time? Newjeans don't use too many youtube ads or dont use them at all so they have way less views than their peers that pay for them, spotify and youtube are pay-to-win platforms, the payers are winning it's not rocket science.

that statement is..... but the reality is another to be fair bp didn't release anything as a group this year

NJ is at that point currently that if they released song like Sticker they would still chart at no1.

Quote from bangmenah

Listen BlackPink wasn’t/isn’t competition for NewJeans EVER, NewJeans was/is competition for BlackPink.

HOWEVER i don’t see BlackPink the group releasing for the rest of 2023 so NewJeans doesnt have any competition for the time being, other than Jisoo, Jungkook and the other BTS member

you really can't be this delusional lol blackpink doesn't release music often they didn't release anything this year you know this hence why the statement is ridiculous. I actually thought you were trolling at first. I don't mind you hyping your bias group but why is there a need to bring up bp?

it's the other way around there is not other group that can be blackpink's competition

Quote from bangmenah

Nah Zero will always be a blemish on their career so i know their audience does have a limit (capitalism)

That's CF song that charted in top 20, be serious

Still jamming to Super Shy and Attention.

They really don't do they? NewJeans are undoubtedly the biggest 4th gen girl group internationally.

Quote from bangmenah

That tweets wrong. NewJeans has had 2.8 billion streams on spotify this year

Lmao they don't have 2.8 billion streams, BP chart accounts keep the streaming counts and no other gg has even surpassed 2,5billion this year outside of BP.

The 2,8b you probably are referring to are their total streams, which fall short to the 11,5b of BP.

^ this and chart data is one of the most reliable accounts about that

does not seem right to me! seems like some fraudulent work going on there! nobody is streaming new jeans except men in the military! lies by spotify and charts, who is to blame? we all know which group likes cheating and fraudulent activity! best to pray for new jeans because some FRAUDULENT activity is happening in HYBE. very SAD indeed! LOVE new jeans very much. love them.

Oh, I liked Zero (except for the chorus with Coca Cola mashida )

didn't you write this thread already? I feel like you did or maybe I'm having deja vu?

Me too. Funny, I was just typing this and Super Shy came up (and my playlist is on shuffle).

Love their music more every day

Their Spotify numbers are outstanding.

I am happy another Kpop group is doing this well and becoming mainstream all over the world.

Usually, with kpop gg music, I remove them from my playlist after a few weeks ( even days) but it's different for NJs' music.

Quote from Daisy_Queen

I feel like it's obvious NewJeans and BP aren't competition with each other?

BP is already set in stone, I think they're well passed the point of competing, so I don't get why they're always brought up in these threads

Insecurity.

They do have something special in their songs, but I also like lots of other music from Kpop girl groups.

New Jeans songs really get stuck in my head somehow

Quote from Flowercrew

Insecurity.

From NJ fans or BP fans? I feel like both have reasons to be insecure and i dont blame either fanbase to be honest.

New Jeans will always have the spectre of BP's massive global accomplishments to worry about, BP really made it hugely difficult for NJ to have the same sort of impact with BP's combination of global Spotify numbers, touring numbers, album sales, and individual member popularity. I think only their Korean group digitals have come within striking distance of Blackpink with Hybe Boy/Attention/Ditto/Supershy, plus their specific charting in the Hot 100 chart.

OTOH, New Jeans is the cultural reset of Kpop that has been sweeping the nation, the first such reset after BP instigated their own cultural reset that peaked with DDDD girl crush. NJ are the 4th gen version of BP with the global popularity of their music, brand deals, diverse members. So its easy to see why Blinks would be insecure about NJ approaching and in some cases smashing BP's records in areas like the Hot 100.

thanks for the explanation.

Insecurity from some BP fans but they don't have to be since their faves are doing really well. They'll be fine. That's just my personal opinion.

everyone be more secure please

MY OPINION:

It's obvious that NJ push is huge and they are EVERYWHERE, CFs, charts, festivals you name it. Sure you can talk about payola because I think its pointless to deny, but they are combining it with a SOLID foundation of crowd-pleasing songs and talented, attractive, easy to like girls. Its that solid foundation that fuels their successful "in-your-face-all-the-time" marketing.

Does MHJ want to brand them into your memory? Hell yes and she's using all the resources at her disposal to make sure it comes true. Is it working - well shit, I'd bet a ton on her budgets and roadplan for NJ being one the best ever. In that sense - I don't really think they have competition. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

It is payola as in ethical marketing. Just like some companies might buy ads in magazine or commercials on TV. It is legitimate marketing.

It isn't payola that is unethical, such as sajaegi where a company directly or indirectly bulk buys their albums or mass bot streams. Or pays directly or indirectly many people to use fake accounts to create an impression of widespread support on social media. Unethical payola is cheating.

I won't choose violence tonight, despite the temptation being there.

So I'll just say that the only competition for NewJeans right now is NewJeans. Literally. Every NewJeans promotion cycle, it's been one NewJeans song battling with another NewJeans song for supremacy.

Even on music shows

How you know NJs is really popular is the fandom now talks about achievements more than the music

Didn't hybe got gods in tth while the girls wasn't, probably they say how badly their last cf song did there without push

The price for it was the song doing badly in Korea. U can't have both, not enough money for that
