BLACKPINK's Solo Success

Quote from CaraFIMIE

Out of all her members, she is the one who really has a vision about what she wanted to do and stuck to it.

This makes no sense. The other members are clearly executing on their visions and sticking to what they want to do. Jennie is literally the CEO of her own company; you think she's not releasing songs and performances she wants to do?

The premise for this thread couldn't be worse. You may PREFER the direction of Rosé's music, but all four of the girls are obviously laying the foundation for the path each wants to travel, releasing the music THEY want to.

Quote from CaraFIMIE

Jisoo was the singer. If it was any other singer, it would not go anywhere.

that same sentiment could be said of literally most songs and groups lol

if a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around - does it make a sound?

if a nugu group releases a great song but nobody listens to it - is it still a good song?

there is a reason there is a huge advantage to being in the big4 - people are more likely to give your song a chance based on the name alone and that is because of past successes of the group or the company. Previous reputations matter. So even if a song may not be as "good" (since good is subjective) more people are going to listen to it (at least once) coming from a more recognised group/soloist/company

but specifically in terms of Rosé - she's the first to release an ALBUM she's the first to have a "Really Really Top Big Hit Song based on Korean data and metrics" and international hit as well

[Move Over National Hit, Here comes Really Really Top Big Hit Song based on Korean data and metrics]

outside of Apt and Bruno...her other releases have done no better, and some worse, than the other solo releases.

Money and Rockstar are the most flaunty songs, but are they not originally the most popular?

And New Woman is literally about loving yourself because youve outgrown an ex who hokds you back…

The premise of every thread but yours is bad atp.

Just gtfo. No one asked you to respond.

So if not the general user base, who ARE you asking this thread to?

maybe because APT is more catchy???

and the subject nature of song about a korean drinking game gets people more interested

plus Bruno

Let him throw his temper tantrum over his horrific analysis of the BLACKPINK solos being put on blast

It's hilarious.

Kid clearly doesn't understand that anything posted on a public forum is fair game for praise OR criticism.

you said flower was generic songs but it outperformed whatever twice soloist latest releases.

ain't nobody know about ABCD, Killing me good or runaway. but when you sing kocangiman namgigo gatdanda, people already know and have their hand doing flower hand choreo. don't believe it?

take example with megan, ain't nobody listening to strategy. but most people know about okane kasegu watashi wa star.

All the girls doing fine. Apt is just biggest song kpop have seen after gangnam style

Apt’s success is mainly due to Bruno Mars not due to Rosé

Look at her other songs, those songs are doing even worse than mantra/rockstar …..

None of BP solos could outgrow BP as a group

And all of them have their artistic vision. They are experimenting and trying new things. Just wait until other girls release their albums! It just happened that Rosé released her album first but I bet her album will remain as most cohesive one.

Also they can talk whatever they want: money, fame, ex boyfriends, current boyfriends, self empowerment, transition state and etc…

Mainstream artists were always like this and all of them could find their niche

All of the girls are doing great in solo

please do some research before talking about BP solo success.

Rockstar was the highest ranked (without collab) on BB hot100 in 2024.

Mantra got the #1 spot on iTunes US, the only one in 2024.

And Toxic till the end and Mantra get the same number of streams, the gap is very small.

The only difference is Rosé has an album and the others don't yet.

If we put aside the collabs, they are pretty equal in terms of success. So stop your stereotype that Rosé's art direction is the only concept that will work.

We love diversity at BP and that's why BP is BP... they are all different from each other.

Casual listeners should stop making a big deal out of it... it won't work

bro whaaat

One of the worst analysis lol

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

Nobody even mentioned Twice

Twice haters are brain dead this is really weird.

And I disagree with OP Lisa and Jennie have the most distinctive sound and not everything is about lyrics rockstar and mantra are unique songs meanwhile new woman is by far the most interesting song by a bp member and the production is top notch. So no outside of APT, they all chart the same so it’s weird to compare them to rosé when the other didn’t even drop their albums.

Your thread doesn't make sense bc as of now just Rosé released her album and her direction is the one you are liking the most, but this doesn't mean the others are lost just bc their songs isn't to your liking.

From what we are seeing all 3 are heavily involved in their albums, singles with actually Lisa and Jennie being their own CEO so lost and no vision isn't words I would apply to them, specially when seeing how well their cbs are doing as in the sense of portraying what they want to.

APT success is huge, but it's an anomaly in kpop itself, you can't expect others to have the same numbers as it, neither does this make sense to simply call the others underperforming, flop when in the end just them, BP and BTS with 2/7 of their soloists doing similar numbers in the whole kpop.

I think non blinks are always careless when talking about BP success bc you guys understand nothing about them, just see 1 word and go with it as if this is logical when it isn't..

Nobody is lost in BP, they all know what they want for their future hence even Jisoo having already finished her album too so you are bound to like one more than the other, but you can't say they are lost and have no vision, not when they are personally working in their album, maybe they could feel insecure about what direction to take, but regardless they are doing what they want.

you are one BABYMONSTER post away from me losing faith in you not being a troll

Quote from CaraFIMIE

I didn't say they were underperforming, or flops.

Also I didnt say the others has "no vision."

How are you so sure Im not a blink? 🤨

You compared their singles to apt for what? To show how Rosé is more successful.

You said Rosé seems to be the one that has a vision in what to do?

Bc you are clumsy about BP as showed in your op

rose posting so much about her other songs without bruno sure show that vfgbhn

Quote from CaraFIMIE

Your overdependency on charts is truly concerning.

Says the one who wants to talk about success.

Aren’t charts a measure of success?

I just give you a random stats that i saw on X.

Anyway, you should've done at least some research if your topic is about BP success.

Quote from CaraFIMIE

Waitttt! Thanks for giving me that idea.

I'll make a BABYMONSTER thread later on.

As long as it's a thread praising their immense talent and acknowledging Sheesh as their official debut.

Quote from CaraFIMIE

Yeah..?

She had a vision and she stuck to hence the album.

I know APT was a pre-release single but regardless. She didn't like APT at first, yk. She developed confidence in it after much encouragement by her staff which is why she released it.

She had a vision bc apt is a huge success? Lol. All of them have vision about their music hence their numbers improving every cb and like I said, wait their albums?? Lisa one will have 12 songs like Rosé, she'll do it without a vision on what she wants?? You are just lost imo regarding BP.

Quote from CaraFIMIE

Gagged me there lmao.

I... ok kkkkkk

Quote from monalisalove

I... ok kkkkkk

Their conviction is weaker than their knowledge base, which is why you ended them so easily.

Weak bait is weak

They were all successful. This is just an embarrassing bait thread.

APT was a viral hit but part of that was the power of Bruno Mars. Money was a big hit too and it had no promo.

Honestly, non Blinks trying to pit them against each other is just sad.

Rosé deserves the credits.

BlackPink is wildcards, their project sometime rise up like no one in kpop ever does without fandom mass streaming. We've seen it over and over with money, ootg, now apt. Flower in SK and china/asia.

We can't see the future, but with those mega hits, i hope more popular singers can do high quality collaboration, or their label invest more in them, cause you like it or not, they're here to stay as main pop girls

Please, leave twice alone, OP clearly wants to drag BP members by putting solo stans against each other, the intentions are clear as day
