    NewJeans can apparently lose all of their token stan support, the HYBE payola, be in their flop era and yet still gap all the other girl groups of their era easily.


    And don't you know how sweet it tastes? :pepe-smug:


    Oh, and also

  • It's impressive, but they haven't released anything decent in over a year, and nothing really good since 2022. We'll see if the current company drama sets them back, but their latest release was below the standard that they set for themselves.


    Fifty Fifty at 16th is crazy though. Truly the biggest blunder of fourth gen. We'll see if they regain in September.

  • 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

    They confused monthly listeners with total streams.


    :meme-picard-facepalm:

  • 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 :meme-life-support:

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


    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 :pepe-hehe: . And BG is such a good song as well <3, it's a standout!

    History never agrees with ifs, so we will never know ;judgingpepe:

    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 ;judgingpepe: 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

  • I don't understand why the 2020 Once comment got a single upvote.


    NewJeans asserted their dominance again and are the clear leaders of their generation and the most popular active group in the world.

    How the hell is this remotely comparable to Twice actually flopping and losing their relevance in Korea?
