“Hot Mess” by Aespa is the best selling JP single among 4th gen GGs in 2024(204k copies by far) surpassing NewJeans!

I will be honest I didn’t like “Hot Mess”, but “Zoom Zoom” and “Sun and Moon” are one of the best Aespa b-sides.

Some people may think that they flopped with Japanese debut, but they didn’t.

146k sales in 3 weeks is Good, when Newjeans sold 65k!

Aespa Big Girls making money 💰

Great numbers, this is the best Aespa era ever. They winning!

I still didn't listen to Hot Mess..., but Supernova and Armageddon are soty!

Give it a try, at least for their b-sides.

But “Hot Mess” MV is freaking gorgeous

Yeah Supernova and Armageddon are definitely SOTY

It seems barely anyone enjoyed Hot Mess Being honest with myself I think it’s their worse song which just so happens to be their Japanese debut but then again I’m only interested in Kpop not Jpop! Congrats aespa girls and New jeans too

Then listen to Key’s Japanese cb. It is a masterpiece Also to Taemin’s and Shinee’s JP cbs too. They have very good Japanese songs

But akp said newpants is the #1 4th gen gg in Japan

By their streams yes(even that is arguable), but by their album sales definitely No !

Quote from butterbutterfly

am I the only one who liked the song a lot lol

Instrumental was superb, but chorus was extremely flat for me. I need smth melodic because verses are not melodic at all too. They should’ve choose Sun and Moon instead of Hot Mess honestly. Then their streaming numbers would’ve been much better.

But also that McDonalds collab

What in the world SM is doing?

Aespa already sold 170k copies of their Japanese Single Hot Mess

Quote from SooYoung

14k in the 4th week

Their sales seems pretty stable cause 4th week sale is pretty similar to the 3rd week numbers

No I think that is 5th week

Since it is already 36-37 days since the day of the release of Hot Mess

And if you add 14k to 146 it will be 160k copies!

So it is 5th week I guess

Quote from K-PL

By total streams, which can legitimately be achieved by using only 2,500 free accounts playing each of their songs 20 times a day for 30 seconds.

But they have 300m streams in Japan this year if I’m not mistaken

Their sales are stable because they are touring in Japan a lot, which is good to use the momentum and increase it!

Once they will enter Tokyo Dome they will sell another 15-20k copies!
