Stat Nerds, please chime in. Which NewJeans statistic is the most impressive?

maybe I was wrong that yama is a success fan???

maybe he is a statistic fan!!!

Quote from Yama-Chan

The closest to it was Big Bang with the MADE series, and even that was "only" 2 songs not 3. The more you think about the stat, the crazier it gets. The songs didn't change positions for 3 straight

How did IU do with Palette, Through the Night and Can't love you anymore?

And then Autumn Morning?

But 2017 was a crazy year in terms of competition - BTS, BJP, TWICE, BOL4,Ailee, Wanna One.. Heck even Sech Kies were back.

I don't think any song stayed at #1 beyond a week, probably the most competitive year so far.

So maybe not.

I need to know what MassiveKpopFan and wsoet think. I honestly would've asked in the digital thread, but I didn't want to be accused of filling it with NJs glazing. Do I dare ask Disevidence to weigh in too? I do

B, it's the only one that really takes into account seasonal variation and other factors to still persist.

"A" doesn't impress me because Ditto and OMG were released in quiet periods and all ranked charting is comparative. Of course it was easy for a hot new group with no competition to clear the charts for months.

"B" As discussed is over a year of seasonal variation and releases in the top 10, upon debut, with what was at the time a change in sound. Definitely the most impressive.

"C" and "E" are all temporal achievements that depend/use seasonal variation. Not that impressive. It's like IVE charting now top 2 with "200k uls". Used to need 200k uls to enter the top 10 in busy periods last year.

"D" and "F" are comparing against older records where due to Melon's previous structures movement and charting was more fluid, based on various factors. Melon's transformation into UL is objectively the right move and the best way to gauge charting on any chart I've seen, it's far more stable then previous iterations (except the short lived one for 8 months in 2021) and therefore comparing to songs from previous ERAS where songs were measured differently is pretty silly.

Only B is impressive overall, and easily the most impressive of the list.

I would say B and then F.

"A" looks impressive at a shallow level, but what matters is longevity than an interesting circumstance.

That's B and F.

I don't give a shit about "eras", there is no definition or standardization of an "era", could be single, EP or Album, with or without MV, could be after year, or months or weeks or days.

So Meh .

B is my pick.

I better not see your name anywhere near the charts threads if Rebel Heart hits #1

I will be there

Because I'm there for the art of Rebel Heart being appreciated for the bop it really is

Quote from Yama-Chan

I did the same for Mamamoo when they were active. With more gusto at that.

They're still active, my guy! I didn't see you making any thread about their solo activities, but I'm sure you would do that if NJ members releases solo songs.

I voted, btw, but I don't see the point. I mean, what's so special about a BIG4 group achieving massive things? Nothing!

Quote from David33

People say this about every stat, basically, but there's no such thing is unbreakable records.

Well yeah but there're things more impressive than others. There isn't any artist that have occupied the top 2 of the charts for 3 consecutive months... NJ did it with the top 3. We're probably not seeing it again because no one was even close to do something similar. Can it happen again? Yes of course, if it happened once it can happen twice, but it is almost impossible.

Quote from Yama-Chan

I knew you'd both have an interesting perspective and approach to contextualizing these statistics. Always an insightful read.

There is one more stat I like,

New Jeans is the only act - solo/group etc., who has put 4 songs on the Circle Yearly top 10.

Bigbang in 2015 and IU in 2014 have done 3, and many times 2 songs.

And Ive also achieved 3 in 2023, but were overshadowed by NJ's 4 songs.

the one were then went from months on spotify to 3 weeks

or the ones went they charted multiple songs in hot100 to none

record breaking dip, not even itzy break that

Hype Boy's continual charting.

Their first 3 albums all close to being above 2 billion digital points each

Every title track being over 100M on Spotify
