Why don't other girl group songs have the longevity of NewJeans' songs?

Yeah, I'm going there.

After weeks of lesser girl groups' fans essentially whining about how much NewJeans' instant classic and timeless hits continue to contribute heavily to their cumulative numbers (no greater sign of a hit discography than longevity btw), let's ask the real question.

Why is it only NewJeans songs that have record breaking longevity?

Were they the only group who released new music in 2022 and 2023?

In mid 2024, the charts looked like this:

And the songs all rose after this

Even How Sweet, a song their coping antis try to convince themselves was a flop, lasted longer in the top 10 than all but 3 of their biggest hits

So why is that only NewJeans have this outstanding longevity? Hype Boy will turn 3 in 6 months and will still be charting. Where are the other 2022 songs from other girl groups?

Please give me non-salty answers

Oh, looking at the data prompted another question.

Could any other girl group chart their mini album intro song for 4 weeks in the top 10? Could they even chart their intros at all?

Why not?

Quote from monalisalove

They are the chosen one, nothing more to say. I never saw a group or act actually having this much longevity kr chart wise even with just one song, let alone almost all their discography.

Want to see another funny flex?

The day they held a press conference to announce they have terminated their contracts with ADOR, a move the unhinged, psychopathic HYBE sycophants swore was a career ender, their songs did this:

I wonder why

Quote from CaraFIMIE

Only time will tell.

This response makes absolutely no sense.

We've had three full years worth of time to tell, and the 4th generation has been around since 2018

Why is the phenomenon of absurd song peaks and longevity something that, for some reason, has only manifested for NewJeans and no other girl groups?

Do tell.

Quote from CaraFIMIE

The last time I checked, many girl groups are set to debut in the future so yes..only time will tell whether other girl groups can match and surpass the longevity of NewJeans' songs.

If you want it to be strictly 4th Gen girl groups, you could've said that. But you didn't so I'll use "other girl groups" as a general term.

Do you use any of your brain matter before posting?

What part of "We have never in the HISTORY of the charts seen a girl group do what NewJeans have done in their short careers" is hard to comprehend?

I could expand the conversation to any girl group ever. I'm just looking at the groups who released music in the same time window, so people won't deflect and dilute the conversation with the usual idiotic rhetoric about "Everything is easier now so it doesn't count!!!!"

Well, every popular girl group from both third and fourth generation released music from 2022 to 2024, so why is it only one girl group's songs, NewJeans' songs, had such historic "stickiness" on the charts?

WHY IS HYPE BOY STILL A TOP 50 SONG IN 2025?! Like, the song came out in July 2022

Why aren't other groups charting their album intros, ad songs and even interludes?

ANSWER ME, AKP!

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

It's the most iconic groups that make achievements "irrelevant"

Funny how easy it remains to draw parallels between sports and K-Pop.

I've never seen so many people eager to downplay the importance of winning Super Bowls until I saw Tom Brady haters try to cope with the fact he's won more of them as an individual player than any NFL franchise

PAKs suddenly stopped mattering once NewJeans broke BTS's record with Ditto, a record they would've gotten a whole WEEK sooner if OMG didn't block Ditto on YouTube

I've seen girl group stans argue about song longevity stats for YEARS, treating it as the holy Grail of digital dominance (which it is), but so many people put in OT here to force the narrative that songs spending literal YEARS on the top 100 is a negative.

Hell, if I wanted to be even more problematic and messy with this thread, I would call out specific songs and fandoms, but I choose the path of peace today.

Quote from CaraFIMIE

That's nice.

Have fun talking to your reflection.

You can't make sense out of a statistical anomaly, kid.

Just accept they're built different from the rest

Not even 3 years old and Korea already considers them a top 3 girl group of the 21st century

Quote from Taemin-Identity

You also sound bitter with your word choices

I'm just following up on my promises from last year. A lot of people had a lot of shit to talk to me circa June 2024, and I calmly informed them the energy and karma would be returned to them later.

Basically FAFO

I'm not bitter; just a little vindictive.

Quote from Taemin-Identity

Because NewJeans are the most loved girl group since SNSD. Also they have easy listening music let’s say compared to Aespa for example. Also they have shorter songs.

You had me until the shorter songs remark

That was a common and cliche comment people made about their songs, when it really only applies to their Get Up album.

How Sweet was a 4 minute song and spent more time in the top 10 than Super Shy, an under 3 minutes song

I appreciate your response, but this particular point didn't really land.

Quote from Taemin-Identity

Also they were best promoted kpop group in history which helped them a lot.

They didn't promote their debut album at all until it released out of nowhere, and it couldn't even be streamed for a week, since MHJ wanted the MVs to have time to settle in with the public.

Even their Coke ad song spent a week in the top 10, fam

Quote from icyruios

Why don't other BGs & GGs have the longevity of Day6 songs?

Day6 Time Of Our Life which was released in 2019 is still charting in Top 20 of Melon Daily when GG songs of 2024 are charting below it

Day6 You Were Beautiful which was released in 2017 is still charting at #25.

Mind you these 2 songs are 6 and 8 years ago.

I highly doubt any of the non Day6 songs stated in this thread would be charting in Melon at all 5 or 8 years after it's released, not to mention Top 20.

And Day6 Happy which was released longer than any of the more recent 2024 GG songs is still at #6, Welcome To The Show is at #13.

This is what we call TRUE LONGEVITY

Day6 is the best GG

Quote from icyruios

Oops I forgot to add that their debut song released in 2015 is charting as strongly as some GGs 2023 and 2024 releases

Stop the fight. I'm dead.

Quote from Taemin-Identity

How Sweet is 3:37 seconds long which is good(I remember it watching from shorts about longest songs of kpop groups)

Yeah I just found out that their recent songs are over 3min+ not only how sweet😅

My bad

Oops. I was thinking of the MV run time

But to my point, outside of Get Up, all their songs were close to or even over 3 minutes. Cookie actually was 3:56 long

Quote from Taemin-Identity

I don’t know how they can chart that high if they were unknown, but generally throughout their career they were promoted much better compared to every other group up until how sweet. They got mvs for many of their songs, many of their bsides were promoted and such

It's because literally every aspect of the debut landed PERFECTLY. Look at what it did to me alone. I was close to done with this K-Pop life and their debut re-ignited my passion.

Anyway, NewJeans has a long way to go.😂

This thread is about girl groups and you link IU and BTS stats.

Quote from David33

Because I like to troll you. Just like you like copying your old threads.🤣

Jokes aside, didn't Aespa beat NJ's record last year?

No. They took 1 of about the 40 records Ditto has, and the Circle points aren't even close.

Quote from number-one

OMG and Twice are girl groups. Now once I look at that list answer is simple. Only cute gg songs have good longevity in Korea

Pretty funny this song have the best longevity

Who? Hype Boy is already the second most streamed girl group song in MelOn history, and Ditto is already top 5. D4 is in the top 3.

You sure about that?

Quote from number-one

most streamed and most days charting is completely different subject

Hype Boy has been in the top 50 for well over 2 years. You don't think it will take every longevity record in girl group history when it's all said and done? And the song that will be right behind it? Ditto.

Quote from number-one

I just check you guys posted data from 2022, no wonder it was outdated

I didn't.

David did. That's why it's best to just ignore him in these threads.

All my data is recent and relevant.

Hype Boy will absolutely still be in the top 100 when it turns 3.

I imagine all their songs will rise up again when they return too.

Quote from ISaidISaid

Their songs are better.

And the group is significantly more popular
