Who had the most dominant and impressive reign as the top girl group? SNSD, Twice or BLACKPINK?

It's not GG. Sones and SM stans gaslit everyone to believing they destroyed everyone, when in reality 2NE1 was maybe a half step behind at most, and even leading in some metrics (more streams on melon, for example, despite not releasing anything after 2014).

Twice's reign was impressive with nine straight number one singles. I dont think anyone will ever (besides sistar) will ever that level of success over THAT many comebacks ever again.

2019-2022 Blackpink was just completely dominating internationally though, set records for album sales, and charted on the Hot 100 like it was no big deal. I think my vote goes to them by an inch over Twice.

back to it hey yama? lol

let's let the RNGods decide

1-2 for SNSD

3-4 for Twice

5-6 for BP

3 TWICE TWICE TWICE

Don't know about dominant but Twice is most impressive to me.

Their sisterhood, their dedication to each other, their dedication to their fans, and dedication to their work is really truly one of a kind. Very few groups has been as active as Twice for as long as Twice.

Only BEG and SNSD comes to mind. Both took large hiatus musically after around their 10th year so I'm anxiously waiting to see how Twice would go after their 10th year.

Most dominant in their era? SNSD

Most impressive achievements for GG? BP

Most impressive as a group? Twice

In the second generation era, Girls' Generation was known as the "nation's girl group" in Korea.

They seemed to have dominated the other girl groups.

Disclaimer ~ I could be totally wrong on them dominating since I've never researched and followed their statistics.

Blackpink

blackpink

Even the most popular member of other top gg cannot beat the popularity of the least popular members in BP

blackpink in your area

This has a chance to be my closest poll yet

it's not the length of the thread that matters it's the closeness of the polls!!!

I mean Blackpink is objectively the biggest gg in kpop worldwide with no competition from the other two.

It would be a more interesting question to make this just about Korea imo and that’s a more level playing ground.

I’d say SNSD >> Blackpink > Twice

Are we talking globally? Or just Korea?

If Korea only, then it's Twice.

If globally, then it's Blackpink.

What's your usual mantra about rankings depending on different criterias and values?

I already made one today in another thread so

a mantra a day keeps rankings at bay??

SNSD put Korean GG on the map.

And Apink ? They never took an hiatus besides and they are a 13 yeors old group.

To answer the thread, I am gonna go with Blackpink. They reached heights that Twice and SNSD never touched.

damn it I forgot to vote

My heart says 2NE1, but head knows it’s SNSD

BLACKPINK! They are being called the biggest GG in the world for a reason

It's hard to look past TWICE when they are the only GG in Korean History to have a KMCA certified million album seller with a Title song that is ranked over 100 on the Circle Charts. How many GGs do you think could do that in their 9th year?

TWICE has 9 consecutive number 1 Circle Songs, a feat that is impossible for SNSD or BP to reach and out of the reach for any 4th gen GG, it's probably impossible, IF, the 5th gen has begun as some have suggested.

Blackpink no contest.

Really the only one of the three that didn't decline heavily in any way during their run. SNSD to some extent and Twice massively.

Quote from YamaChwan

When did SNSD ever really decline? After 2015, they began prioritizing their solo activities a lot more, and the group comebacks were more special gifts to the fans, for their 10 year and their 15 year anniversary. Getting a top 5 song 15 years after your debut is pretty stellar.

It's not anything massive like Twice debuting in the 1400's on Melon, but there was a decline across several metrics. Their later singles after I Got a Boy weren't consistent as far as charting, with their last regular comeback singles peaking at 12 and 32. Their albums also sold significantly less after that, with Lion Heart and Holiday Night selling about half of what I Got a Boy and The Boys did.

Their Forever One song wasn't in consideration for me as it's more of a special comeback that had the nostalgia element that has shown to benefit most groups.

I would still rank SNSD above Twice because they maintained relevance longer and didn't have such a drop off.

Damn this poll super close 👀

1. Blackpink , 2. SNSD , 3. Twice.

the three of em release song in 2022 and we know how it ends.... only 2 of em on korean the chart. and 1 was winning on music shows

blackpink 🩷🩷

In korea - SNSD

Global - BP

Group can only "dominate" when their stats - sales, digital charting and/or streaming numbers have big gap with their peers.

SNSD sales and YT views were crazy. The only GG which consistently outsold the male peers at that period.

BP with their charting and streaming numbers WW, as well as sales per album is far more impressive than any of their peers (except 4th gen GGs). Twice & BP kinda go head to head in korea though but Twice's reign imo wasnt as impressive as SNSD

SNSD already shown weakness during Mr. Mr. when they went head on with 2NE1's Crush album (Come Back Home). That was the time SNSD's dominance started shaking..

After that, their chartings have been quite subpar compared to their previous achievements. But their big fanbase kept them relevant and chart decently. While Lion heart did well, You Think totally flopped (first SNSD title track being flop)

Holiday & All Night were subsequent flops too

all 3 miles ahead of your already flopping faves

Trying to pit them against each other doesn't change that.

SNSD is the definition of domination in Kpop

1. SNSD remains the only girl group in Kpop history to enter Top 5 in Gallup yearly for TEN consecutive years

2. SNSD remains the only girl group in history to win Album Daesang in the prestigious Golden Disk Awards since 1986

I'm between Twice and SNSD.

SNSD is literally the definition of kpop gg. If I have to choose who's the most iconic gg it would be SNSD without doubt.

Twice dominated after SNSD and beat several records.

The reason why I didn't choose BP is because even though they were more dominant internationally, their reign was diluted because of their endless hiatuses. I feel that it impacted their growth as a group.

SNSD, of course

SNSD haters and other other-group stans have always been trying to gaslight SNSD's achievements and skills since their debut, even trying to paint them as 'talentless visuals' and their achievements as trivial and meaningless. But the facts tell another story.

- when it comes to popularity, of all the girl groups SNSD have had the highest popularity score in official surveys (eg. Gallup) for several years even surpassing peak Wonder Girls, and SNSD were the #1 most popular girl group for the most years (7 years) despite strong competitors.

- SNSD were the most popular girl group in 2nd gen era internationally, as shown with youtube streams and google data analytics

- SNSD are the only girl group that could compete and beat boy groups when it comes to album sales, even beating boy groups in winning an album daesang

While other top girl groups could be strong in 1 (or 2) areas - after all, let's not diminish other groups' achievements and strengths - SNSD were able to dominate over all others in the most areas in their era.

And even now in the past years deep in 4th gen era, SNSD and SNSD members keep consistently popping up high in popularity rankings.
