Did you know BLACKPINK have never had a year where they had the top song on the MelOn year-end chart?

    This along with their lack of daesangs, despite their accomplished careers, will always be an interesting wrinkle in their legacies to me :/

  • Both things are mainly because of the timing of their comebacks. Their only comeback before June was KTL and it wasn't among their biggest songs (in Korea). We could see how this year Supernova couldn't reach #1 being released in May, and having 0 points by June when the tracking periods end not even at the end of the year but in October/November basically blocks you in most of the daesangs.

  • And yet we all still agree they are the biggest and best to ever do it, BP transcends beyond things like data and charts.

    Really? Because nobody bombards and berates their opps with data and charts as much as Blinks do.


    Also, biggest? Sure. For now (it won't last). But best? No way. Their predecessors were better in almost every way. And I've seen them and their peers in concert multiple times. Their concert was certainly not the "best"

    I know it's ultimately due to awkward timing, but it's still a jarring and curious statistic to see. When you bundle it with their lack of daesangs, it creates a very glaring hole in their otherwise unassailable resumes.

    Yeah, your thread does sound like it

    What am I coping about? Most of their international records were already snatched by a then rookie girl group. I'm good :boompepe:

  • Same with 2NE1.

    Whole crap what 2013-2014 must have been bad years when Apink is nr1 with two borig songs...

    Nonono is an absolute bop, and your usual shady, slanderous comments and inability to process the fact music is a subjective experience, where people can adore the same songs you loathe, will not be tolerated.

  • lol neither mamamoo

    I promise you that blackpink will be remembered than some of the groups that are barely mentioned or can't even chart anymore.


    it's funny because blackpink was literally always considered their pride and joy their representative Korean group overseas for girl groups.


    also if we go by unique listeners blackpink had the most in 2017 and 2018

    not sure how accurate this is but in terms of unique listeners blackpink had the most in 2017 with as if it's your last and in 2018 with DDDD.

  • Melon Year end is not that great a chart, songs released later in the year, will rarely make to the top, that chart is not well balanced.


    Even IU, it was 2021 before she got to #1 on that chart with Celebrity.


    So interesting trivia, but otherwise does not indicate anything much about any GG in S, Korea in any year.

    For example, Apink, I am a huge fan of Eunji, and glad they got these hits as #1 in the chart, but even so, it will not make Apink a top GG even in those years.

  • lol neither mamamoo

    Duh. They shared a generation with Twice.


    They actually had a chance at it in 2018, but Momoland let it Bboom Bboom to start the year, so it wasn't meant to be. Ironically, that was BLACKPINK's best opportunity as well, but they are fated to take Ls from girl groups with names beginning with "M" :meme-kek:


    Also, are you not embarrassed by how immature and petty you look, when your first response to any BP critique is some cringe attempt at shading the favorite group of your designated enemy?


    I've been a MooMoo for almost 11 years now. I'm not insecure over their legacies in the least bit. You cannot say the same when it comes to BP. Clearly.


    it's funny because blackpink was literally always considered their pride and joy their representative group overseas for girl groups.


    also if we go by unique listeners blackpink had the most in 2017 and 2018

    Their pride and joy? Am I talking to an ARMY and didn't realize it? That's so hyperbolic.


    I also don't care. I'm not talking about unique listeners, but the interesting fact BP never had the top song on the MelOn year end charts. Circumstances aside, it's just funny to look at.

  • I never said otherwise. I just thought it was a curious little fact. Now I find it hilarious, due to how some people are overreacting to it. I never said it made BLACKPINK less impressive, but they jumped to their own conclusions out of feelings of insecurity and inferiority :meme-kek:

  • Using random metrics to shade other groups = fine.

    When your own faves get the brunt = it is anti behavior

    :holding-back-tears:


    This is for the blinks here :eyes:

    What's shade? Why can't I ask a question without the torches and pitchforks coming out?


    I'm curious if people knew about a little factoid I myself find curious.


    Context has already been provided by uwuwu. Why are people so pressed?


    It's as if their name being excluded from the list of year-end top song charters on MelOn deeply disturbs them.


    You'd think their lack of daesangs would be a more crushing mental blow.

    Might be due to your previous interactions and content due to Blackpink.

    Kpop fans are like desert addled nomads forever looking for "shade"

    :pepe-devil:

    Nobody can be the biggest forever, but no other gg will ever be the first kgg to break through internationally and be mentioned in the same breathe as other large legendary gg's like spice gils and fifth harmony. And that's just a fact.


    Ultimately this cherry picked stat doesn't mean much to me, I was just pointing out how the numbers don't always support the truth, and the truth is BP has been the #1 girl group since 2018 and that remains true even today. I mean, I could say "did you know NJs highest viewed MV is less than BABYMONSTERS highest viewed MV". It's true, but it doesn't mean much.

  • I’m sorry it hardly seems relevant when BP are the biggest gg to come out of Korea lol :!: makes the list even more absurd when Supernova achieved 3rd this year :!: but I guess gidle released Fate 4 months before :melon_think:

    If release timings were standardized and adjusted for, Supernova still wouldn't be the top song--APT would. Though I suppose aespa would have the top girl group song at least. I'm surprised they didn't get it with Next Level, but I haven't checked the release timing.

    I've made more pro-BP threads than not as of late. Blinks are just conditioned to respond aggressively and defensively whenever I speak on them, even though I've been following the group longer than 99% of them.

    :holding-back-tears:

    Yeah, it's kind impossible to talk with armys here as 90% left after their own embarrassed behavior towards teens in the ador mess and then suga DUI that they couldn't make it about others :borahae:

  • . I'm surprised they didn't get it with Next Level, but I haven't checked the release timing.

    May 2021 - Against IU's fully promoted release and Brave Girls viral Rollin .. tough.

    Ok.. was just speculating.

    i was also surprised but Rollin/ BG were huge in 2021 and had released much earlier than Next level which I think placed 5th place :!:

  • Nobody can be the biggest forever, but no other gg will ever be the first kgg to break through internationally and be mentioned in the same breathe as other large legendary gg's like spice gils and fifth harmony. And that's just a fact.

    Already too late for that.


    Billboard literally did just that, when the group destined to supplant BLACKPINK put 5 songs on the Hot 100 in a calendar year, the first girl group in the history of the chart to do so. :meme-life-support:

    And I would congratulate BM on having stellar YouTube metrics. It wouldn't bother me nor would I lose sleep over it.


    I've quite literally never cared about YT views, even when all fandoms obsessed over breaking some arbitrary views record.


    I simply thought this was an interesting statistic, but the reaction to it suggests that some people DO think it's a big deal, and I'm not one of those people.

  • Tragic honestly.


    Toxic people like you deserve other toxic people. I'm sure others will come to replace.

    Said by another toxic and like I said, your own friends left here after spending months hating on innocent teens, making sexual insults against them bc of a company so who is the toxic? :borahae: it wasn't me that made that mega thread reach 6 separate threads, it was embarrassing behaviors from some company stans.

    It's ok, we are better now!

  • How many of these songs aged well I wonder

    How many are being played and danced to

    I know that ditto came back this year during winter start so ig that's the start



    I feel like No (hit) songs in bp discography is gonna age well like wg, snsd songs

    You know the public friendly ones

    Like how do you see everyone from toddlers to grandparents dancing to their biggest hit dududu in 10 years or even today? esp to jennie's lyrics about her double volume body lmao

    Their fans are gonna keep bringing up overseas popularity


    Bigbang is known overseas for fantastic baby and bang3x but it's lies and haru haru general public love them for and still worship them despite being a group of criminals. Does blackpink have that lies and haru haru?

  • Already too late for that.

    that's great, but BP will always be the ones that did it first, can't change that. You should be thanking BP each day for allowing your faves to even have the opportunity to reach such levels of success.

    Right, you conveniently choose to ignore a platform where your faves don't do well, but I do the same so I can't fault you.

    It's ok, we are better now!

    And why am I toxic? I said those things? Why should I be embarrassed?

    I'm not the one hating/shading other idols. Can't say the same about you. Some of you place so much responsibility on other groups of people, you forget to take a look at your own actions.

  • Nonono is an absolute bop, and your usual shady, slanderous comments and inability to process the fact music is a subjective experience, where people can adore the same songs you loathe, will not be tolerated.

    I you can't understand that people can dislike a song and acctually have the right to say it's a boring song the same way you have the right to say it's a good song without contantly attacking people? Why on earth do you always need to attacking people with nasty word all the time people don't agree with you?

  • And why am I toxic? I said those things? Why should I be embarrassed?

    I'm not the one hating/shading other idols. Can't say the same about you. Some of you place so much responsibility on other groups of people, you forget to take a look at your own actions.

    You shaded some idols enough in the past, why play the victim now?

    And idk, you tried to say as if I'm more toxic than the cowards that run away after being the example of toxicity. Look at your own actions and how you tried to protect them in this thread and blaming me for answering you.

    It was "tragic honestly" so tragic, grown ass adults hated teens and after suffering some "backlash" from others users are the pitiful ones.
