    Looks like those two are doing well. I guess they like them better than I Am and Kitsch.

    Which is surprising considering that Either Way and Off The Record were both considered risky releases since it totally breaks IVE's pattern of energetic songs.

    I guess Starship made the correct choice to release 3 title tracks because while OTR and EW are the best selling singles by a gg in China, it's Baddie that is getting paks in Korea.

  • I mean it's one of those technically true things, because many girl groups released Mini Albums. So they don't count for this specific achievement.


    So yeah, I guess, but there's better sellers in China.

  • It’s stated singles. Not mini or full albums. :whatk:

    Yeah I know, hence why I said what I said.


    And 'title track' released in a mini album is not part of this designation, so it's a very specific set of criteria.


    Considering almost all major groups this year have released mini albums and didn't release their pre-releases digitally (or are available digitally in China), it means the competition or the achievement for this result is against a very empty field.

    For girl group SINGLES, there isn't. The mental gymnastic everytime Ive gets an achievement is fucking pathetic. If you want to know which other groups are better sellers in China when it comes to singles just look at the chart someone else posted in the thread. Only Blackpink, BTS, Exo and Seventeen are above IVE. And both Either Way and OTR are in the same mini, so "other girl groups released minis" is such a dumbass statement when we're talking about best selling singles.

    Well…some groups albums aren’t available on QQ music too so your argument is flawed too :nervousk:


    in this climate a lot of groups are doing pre-released & titles so whatever
