Disclaimer #1: This is old data, I was looking through old files on my laptop and found this excel sheet and decided to share it. All data is from January 2022.
Disclaimer #2: For the single/b-side songs, I mostly went by wikipedia.
Disclaimer #3: A lot of this was done manually so please be gentle with any mistakes old me might have done ![]()

Sorted by highest singles to b-sides total streams ratio. It seems that bg b-sides really do perform better, or maybe their singles just perform worse, depends on how you want to look at it really
at least that's how it was 2 years ago

The landscape of kpop has changed a lot in 2 years. I wonder if I did this again where all the new powerhouse ggs would end up. Also how would the new ggs with their devoted fandoms fare against their bg counterparts in b-side streams?
And yes, I did count the 2 instrumentals for butter and PTD as the b-sides for the butter single album
