No. NJ is relying a lot more in the public than just their fandom

like, time really its a circle when u think about it

It is Sistar 2025. Except they got #1 for 9 consecutive releases in their last 7 years.

seems aespa has a different opinion

what's surprising is how many streams BBYMON and Illit have for being new groups. NJ only has 30% more Spotify streams than Illit... Illit has 4 songs lol.

Not true, NJ have like 3x more streams than Illit this year on Spotify. But that doesn't make sense to compare since Illit is a new group with 4 songs.

I think babymonster is more likely to dominate Spotify for gg than Illit in the following years. Unlike Illit all their songs are doing well

Quote from Chemotter

So far, it is Aespa's year. I think G-idle is up there too.

Comes down to the 2nd half when NJs release their full album.

Unlikely to do so till dec since it is entering a 'hiatus' following its disastrous first half of yr

Hope the album will be released at the latest in December. 17 months without EP/Full album is already a crazy amount of time, more than that would be disastrous

If buble gum was released in may it would have topped the charts, same if supernatural was a korean release .

Just because njs didn't get n1 now people are saying they aren't releasing good music anymore... lol.

Supernatural is the best njs song since Ditto . And BG is such a good song as well , it's a standout!

History never agrees with ifs, so we will never know

Even if I am not fan of Nj artistry, I will say that the only good song released by them this year is Supernatural! It is much more upbeat than Bubble gum and more dynamic than How Sweet

yea they really do have a chokehold on Korea, ill always give them that. I do think the release strategy for this comeback is what gave ammo to the antis. Im sure we all remember the asinine posts claiming this comeback as a flop because of the split album sales.

Im really curious to see how their upcoming album does. Since they are doing that collab with fortnite I have it in my head that they will release something with a more western/international appeal. But we shall see.

Those two single albums released with a 4 weeks interval was weird as fuck but Ador earned probably tons of money from that and it will be useful to promote the full album The main project of the year is that album, hope the release will not be postponed to next year due to the hybe/ador drama
