Will there be another GG which all members have success in solo work the same way as Blackpink?

  • It never happened before.

    Will it happen again in the future?

    What do you mean never happened? Mamamoo is literally the first girl group with all member debuting on Billboard with their debut songs, and they're the most successful soloist overall if you're not just looking at streaming numbers globally.


    BP solos so far can't be judged, because they're rookies, but other groups doing this for years!

    I mean success in general. streaming, physical sales, charting, etc

  • U mean Billboard HOT 100? Wow!

    Not HOT100, because they never promote themselves in the US, but still they debuted on BB. I think it was one of the digital charts or album chart, not sure.


    I mean success in general. streaming, physical sales, charting, etc

    Sure, but a small agency groups can't have the same sales as a BIG4 group, that's why being successful can mean different things. Mamamoo always fought 2 hands tight behind their back. So, the fact that they're still successful worldwide, not just in Korea without any real promotion from their company, means they're more successful than basically every BIG4 soloist since the 3rd gen.


    And as Yama already said, they're the 1st 3rd gen soloist setting many records, and yes, neither of those are massive sale or streaming numbers, but still, even today, no other group member soloist achieved those stats since the 3rd gen.

  • Counting the ww numbers and success it'll be hard, in SK a lot of groups produced success soloists, but overall I doubt we'll have a gg doing the numbers they are doing!

    So ww is to BP and pinks only for now :meme-mmm-tea:

    I don’t think those non-hot-100 Billboard charts mean much. What is your view?


    Then I think leaving all assumptions and what-if behind, BP is the most successful one in solo stuff as what matter most are physical sales, streaming and touring especially in a global scale.

  • Gidle and IVE have similar sales to other top groups without BIG4 company

    Yes, and both CUBE and Starship are a Mid-size agency, Starship is even bigger, because they're under Kakao Ent.


    RBW compared to these agencies are basically nonexistent, and was built by Mamamoo, and Mamamoo alone! To be fair, CUBE only exist because of Soyeon, but even if I don't like to say this, they help them more than RBW helped MMM, like ever.

    I think, neither of the charts means much, but that's just me, because I don't give a damn about charts, sales or streaming numbers, but I'm obviously happy to see if my faves doing well.


    On Billboard, the HOT100 Exclusive US, and the BB200 are the main chart, but the Digital Sales and the Album charts are important as well.


    Also, Mamamoo as a group and as soloists are much better on iTunes.


    BP is more successful outside of Asia with streaming and album sales, but that's all. I think only Rose and Jisoo had physical sales, and their Chinese fans are a massive help.


    Touring is nonexistent for them, because they never did a concert as soloists, but Mamamoo already has sold-out solo tours. Wheein finished her World Tour in Asia, Europe and America, Byul finished the Asia tour and next moth the US tour coming and probably the EU tour. Solar (already finished Asia tour) and Hwasa is coming next.


    BP members need at least 2 or 3 years to start thinking about a solo World Tour. Rose will be the first, I'm sure, because she already has half of BP's discography. The next is probably Jennie. The other 2... I don't think they ever gonna do a solo World Tour if I'm being honest.

  • The Euro-American media and music channels only highlight BLACKPINK and its members as soloists, but discriminate against other Korean girl groups to prevent them from becoming as popular.


    And here in Germany, the music industry is very afraid that the market will be dominated by K-Pop. In Germany, good music was still produced in the 90s, but not since then.

  • But what would happen if a star like Beyoncé did a collab with KISS OF LIFE? Then KISS OF LIFE would be very popular in one fell swoop, maybe not as popular as BLACKPINK.


    Unfortunately, such big stars as Bruno Mars only know Jennie, Lisa and Rosé and not KISS OF LIFE and other girl groups, who all deserve to be at least as popular as BLACKPINK.


    But they are not, and it is prevented and that is a very bad thing.

  • So what did the other two do

    Solar debuted with Spit it Out #10 on Melon, and she's the 1st female Idol with the fastest Music Show win! Jisoo came after her as 2nd.


    Moonbyul was #21 with Selfish (collab with Seulgi) and she's pretty much the most underrated member of MMM, because she's "the rapper", but she's the best with Album Sales, also the most credited female Idol ever with more than 120 songs.


    Also, Moonbyul and Solar are in the TOP10 best-selling album sales this year! And this is a big thing against BIG4 soloists.

  • I only see MMM Stans here :pepe-clown-gear: so far outside of BP/BTS no.

    BTS maknae do well internationally, Jungkook is popular in Korea

    3/4 members of BP have a top 3 and all of them do well internationally too.

    Why are you talking about BTS? Didn't know they're girls.


    Mamamoo and BP are pretty much the only successful 3rd gen soloists, and MMM doing this for years, but BP isn't.


    Also, let's talk if someone actually beat these records!

    Im sure no one even knows mamamoo in the US even more in korea now they are obsolete landing any billboard chart is impossible with how nugu they are generally

    and BEING #1 in ITUNES ISNT A BILLBOARD CHART LMAOOOOO you dont know anything abt charts

    How to remove KIOF from trolls’ minds :eyeroll-pepe:   :pepefacepalm:

    Honey, stop talking if you don't know anything. Mamamoo and just like 90% of Kpop can't chart on Billboards main chart because they don't do promotion in the US, you dumbass. This is like asking a bird to swim.


    No one knows Mamamoo in the US? They literally #1 best-selling girl group EVER with their debut US tour, after 10 years, beating BP's debut US tour record, and they're in Rolling Stone's TOP100 Greatest Korean Pop songs of All-Time! Again, without doing promotions!


    dont mind the delulu hwasa probably got her 15 minute fame is just an inch of what one BP member can do in popuilarity

    15 minute fame? She's literally the most successful 3rd gen soloist, but okay. She beat Blackpink's "How You Like That" alone on charts with Maria, just sayin'. Has more All-Kill, Music Show wins and solo Awards than any BP member. And won Icon of The year in 2024! Doing all this without being a member of an overhyped group. But please, talk more. 😅


    No BP member can come close to Hwasa in Korea, not even Jennie.

  • So what did the other two do

    Solar charted multiple songs in the top 20. At least one in the top 10. And these weren't even promoted singles. They were her solo directed and produced project "Solar's Emotion", which is still going to this day. She was the first Mamamoo member to chart multiple songs on MelOn.


    Moonbyul sold the most albums, and her biggest hit was a top 20 song, "Selfish", featuring Seulgi.


    So it's not like the unnie line has had no chart success, but the maknae line were the digital powerhouses.


    To answer the question of this thread, globally, nobody has done what BP is doing.


    In Korea, objectively speaking, no group has done what the Mamamoo members have yet, and they were the first.

  • Ill just LOL hahah, they dont do promo cos they wont CLICK at ALL haha

  • your talking all this crap info no one cares about while BP is currently winning with all their worldwide single succcess taht MAMAMOO (hasbeens) can never do lol Lets go Rose'

  • Wait, I just realized I didn't answer the question.


    I don't think another GG will succeed the same way BP girls have with their solo music both in SK and abroad but there have been many idols who found success outside their group on their own before BP and after BP.


    For example, SNSD actress line + Taeyeon, Apink, Twice members like Nayeon, Jihyo, MiSaMo, Dahyun, Yena, Eunbi and Sunmi. I am sure there are many other idols esp 2nd gen's that I am forgetting.

  • Ill just LOL hahah, they dont do promo cos they wont CLICK at ALL haha

    What are you even mumbling about? Won't click? What is that even mean in your head? They were invited to Coachella in 2020, but Covid ruined, so you should be happy for that, because after that BP wouldn't be in the conversation anymore. No one can top Mamamoo's live performance!

  • I'd like to see where the members are in a few years before calling anything a success, if they're really trying to go into the west.

  • your talking all this crap info no one cares about while BP is currently winning with all their worldwide single succcess taht MAMAMOO (hasbeens) can never do lol Lets go Rose'

    Your gals have like 10 solo songs combined, so far. On paper, Mamamoo solos are more successful, because they did it more times. That's the fact, my friend. You can see the stats.

    Moomoos...have some shame

    Actually, BLINKS should open their eyes and use their brains, because BP is not even on the same level as Mamamoo, especially in Korea. The stats are right there, you guys are just too lazy to do research!


    I'd like to see where the members are in a few years before calling anything a success, if they're really trying to go into the west.

    EXACTLY! Thank You! Mamamoo doing this since 2018! BP members doing solo for a couple of months without YG!
