Somebody is so sabotaging Jennie because her melon ranking just makes no sense!

    Even love hangover debut ranking and ranking all together made no sense after the INSANE hype s-korea's most famous hit girl gathered with ZEN! and how good the song was. HONESTLY.

    But extraL?? Oh somebody is SO paying extra money to sabotage her :meme-stare: . Ok LH was all in English, ok it was a bit different from what we knew of Jennie blablabla but extraL? It's Jennie through and through. Yes it's a bit too soon to speak but man, TF is happening on melon right now?? Jennie struggling in the 90s LOL!


    It's not like there is a bloodbath on the charts either, like it's filled with old songs.


    Even Jisoo's ranking after her last mega hit is so wierd like hello? both on melon and on spotify btw...


    It doesn’t makes sense, and I know SOMEONE who HATES bp and their members and who LOVES to make phone calls and bribe his way through everything :meme-fry-narrow:. Who has an 18k report trash talking, bullying and harassing the whole industry...who is OBSSESSED on steping on his rivals?


    That freak was like if kakao ain't taking my money to payola my groups, well then i'll give them money to sabotage my rivals :thinkerpepe: ! Oh yeah he could be that nasty and that petty X(. No doubt.

    (And i feel like this shift started this year)


    If it's true, then ... :pepe-laser-eyes:. This would be an attempt at burying someone's carrier. Literally! I hope MHJ got some accord with kakao so they wouldn't be able to do that to njz. Cause at this point... this might also happen :watt:. Yes NJZ! the digimons.


    I had to get it out :boredr: !

    I don't feel it's weird and nobody is sabotaging them


    Mantra had initial hype in SK because it was her first song after YG and she announced promo in korea so people were expecting the song but neither love hangover or ExtraL were tease for a korean public neither promoted there so i bet most of the korean public don't know about it unless jennie fan and blinks


    As for Jisoo the song is probably not really koreans cup of tea


    Also all of them no longer have YG

    Sure having your own label gives you freedom

    But YG have years of experience in marketing and promoting groups so even if they work for years there

    There's some aspect of the industry that they still don't know

    And it was proven with Jisoo not even knowing how to do her promo on melon chart


    They'll need time and learn the things that big label learn with years


    But this charting performance aren't surprising for jennie cuz her songs and her solo career now is targetting the western market and she gave up on the korean market


    It's more concerning for Jisoo cuz she's trying to build a solo career in korea in contrary of lisa, jennie and rose

    I understand underperforming and maybe struggling in the top 30/50 because of various factors like english songs or focusing on the western market etc, but struggling in the 90's? for BP members? for Jennie? After their latest performances? and systematically like that? almost like it was done by a IA? NAH. it's not believable :uh-uh-bunny: .


    BTW extraL's ranking on Genie makes more sense, but even that will get influenced at some point by the dreadful melon ranking... like what's going on with kakao??


    Even jennie's mantra was done dirty in so many ways if you knew. but i feel like the sabotage took a whole another level this year. something is VERY fishy :meme-fry-narrow: .

    ---

    also both for jisoo, for aespa, for njz their spotify ranking were SO different from the other western streaming sites. like itunes or even billboard.


    and what do all these girls have in common? well guess!

    It seems her solo music appeals more to the international market than the Korean market. It could explain why her ranking isn't as high as expected. Plus, many checked out Mantra due to it being her first song. I don't think it matters much because she's making music she wants to make and her music will most likely get a lot of spins. She's most likely more focused on global appeal rather than focusing on Korea

    this is only speculation, not necessarily reality.


    all jennie releases from solo to you and me to mantra have been in the top 10. she also topped the charts with her zico collab last year. so it's not like she turned into a nugu in two month :watt: . specially with her debut album.


    this melon ranking makes NO SENSE. period.

    Hey Tatiana, are you the new Whyknock or something? 🤣

    this melon ranking makes NO SENSE. period.

    This is a fact, btw! I mean, what StanGIDLE said! BP members making music for the Western market since day 1, even as a group! Her other songs were hits, because she only released 2 songs till 2024! She released more songs in the past couple of months than in her entire career.


    Zico is MASSIVE, even bigger than Jennie in SK, so SPOT being a hit, is not only her success. I don't get why people can't understand that, just because you're popular, doesn't mean people will love everything you put out! Especially if it's different, or even worse, you're releasing the same thing over and over again.


    BTW, this is not her debut album, that was SOLO!


    PS: How many times do I have to tell you all that Idol soloists have no long future on Korean Charts? 99% of them are flopping after 5-6 years. Even if they're popular like Jennie. Kpop is not about soloists, it's about groups.


    Quote from foreveraespaaa

    Too soon :?::!: didn’t she just release the song today! Maybe let the song marinate a little?

    Also, this, but this collab won't top any Korean chart for sure. Just look at her "Love Hangover". Koreans doesn't like American collab songs.

    Tbh expecting them to top charts like they did while in YGE is a little difficult. Liking it or not having a big company backing up your career will always be easier and they knew how to promote her there.

    You and Me did amazing bc she promoted a little in SK, the same with Mantra and also being her first solo song outside yge. Now she is clearly focusing more in international markets, but who knows, maybe she'll get another hit there when she drops her album.

    She still has good numbers despite everything and she is happier than ever to finally have freedom to do what she wants. I don't think this is 100% sabotage issue, I do think Mantra being considered a feminist song and suddenly getting so much hate there was weird, but I don't think much about her ranking now.

    Mantra was also for the western market, got limited in its diffusion on melon for whatever reason, and still entered the top 10 easy and did great on spotify. so what?


    It was released only two month ago and now out of nowhere Jennie turned into an epic nugu struggeling in the 90's or even just to enter melon top 100 ??? alonside Jisoo? lol, who believes that sh*t? :pepe-joy:

    I don't. Not in this CONTEXT when just two days ago, we got the proof that that greasy pig liked to make phone calls to destroy his rivals carriers!


    Also YES it's her debut album! solo was just a single LOL. like duh how can you even claim something that nonsensical :meme-what:

    we need a bit more time for things to make a bit more sense, but right now, how can you then explain the difference between her melon and genie ranking? top 40 on genie, out of top 100 on melon... does that even makes SENSE??


    it's like both LH and EL were stuck automaticly on place 98 on melon or smth. almost like it was mechanical or smth. there is not any difference in their ranking when both songs are so different. same with earthquake.


    nah man, it's just too fishy. even more in this wierd context.

    Mantra was her first song since "You and Me"! Her collab doesn't count! And it was made for Tiktok, hence the popularity! It's not a good song, that's why it's not charting anymore.


    Do you think people are dumb? Just because they're Jennie and Jisoo, the public won't stream their songs 24/7 if it's crap! Jisoo's song is even worse, because it's EDM and most people in Korea don't like EDM. It's the laziest genre ever!


    What did you espect, btw? The ONE and ONLY soloists who can debut #1 is IU! That's all, no one else! If you look at the stats of any K-Charts, you can see that most Kpop songs, even group songs now, are a slow-burn. Except maybe some newer groups.


    Not everything is about HYBE and Bang PD, grow up, kid! People doesn't have to love every song, that you love!


    Also, there are many other popular Idols in SK, most of them don't chart, why aren't you making threads about them too, claiming Bang Bang PD manipulating their stats?🤣


    And, again, NO! Her debut was SOLO, not her upcoming album! Just because it was a Single, it's still her debut! There's no such thing as a debut album, unless you're actually debuting with a full-album! Stop talking about things you don't understand!

    I think firstly it was released on Friday and traditionally my understanding is that Friday is a good day for western charts and data whereas Mondays is good for Kcharts


    Secondly different strokes for different folks - not every song will capture every Korean GP

    Flowers was edm too and it slayed the charts so that's a lame argument :eyeroll-pepe: .


    if you're sayong LH isn't a good song then bro that's BS. it's her best song ever released alonside zen duh.


    nobody's talking about a number 1 debut, not even a top 10 actually. but lol struggeling to even top 100?? the Jennie? NAH. something is reaaally of.


    Please go tell that to that pig that not everything is about him :pepe-sad: !! I think he has the hardest time understanding something that simple :meme-side-eye: . Because as the trash reports showed, he seems to have his greasy nasty nose down on EVERYBODY'S business in the industry! And it's not hard to imagine that it's more so when it comes to BP girls who are his groups biggest rivals (alongside NJZ) :meme-u-ok: . that also answers your last bs claim :pepe-tea: .

    That's why i said big companies know how to promote their idols cbs, it's clear how the girls are managed by a small team, they are still new and are learning what to do, etc.

    And if Jennie isn't focusing in SK at all then I don't expect her to chart great there. Being a soloist in SK is difficult, sometimes you get a hit, sometimes you don't, that's how it is there. Music wise also if they don't like the song, etc.

    More than chart manipulation I think mediaplay is a more hybe thing tbh.

    i disagree. media and chart manipulation and bribery is a hybe classic :pepe-tea: .

    I know people aren't dumb neither are they as dumb as you. You don't need to trash the girls songs based in your opinion where you live in your delusional world as if they are facts. You are the least objective user here, everything you do is based in your fanwars feelings.

    If you can't answer a thread without showing your inferior complex then don't answer it.

    Everybody is being normal here and here you are, acting like a jerk. Your taste is your personal opinion, not a fact!

    The fact that you are keeping tabs in everything BP does as soloist just show how weird you are when you clearly keep saying how you don't like their music direction, etc. you are clearly not the targeted audience ao stfu.

    Quote from CaraFIMIE

    Just because a particular artist is not topping the charts does not mean the charts are being manipulated.

    but i'm not even talking about topping the charts tho? i'm saying how it's the third time in a row this year and all under two months since a popular and extremely successful bp member is struggeling to even enter or stay on melon top 100 :meme-side-eye: .

    whatever sabotage it is, it's not even believable :clown: .

    Quote from monalisalove

    Chart manipulation for their groups yes, but I don't think it's for outsiders.

    I personally think that yes they do that too. They probably used scooter connections on spotify to sabotage their rivals groups for example.


    scooter even previously braged how a singer should be blacklisted or ghosted on spotify charts for whatever reason, so i don't think it's a nonsensical claim to make.


    and yes, i don't think bangpig will not try everything he can to eliminate his rivals. we already got a example of that when he tried to cancel njz's comback showcase :pepe-tea: .

    on top of the trashy hybe reports which honestly says everything you would need to know about that company.

    Quote from Tatiana1820

    Flowers was edm too and it slayed the charts so that's a lame argument :eyeroll-pepe: .

    See? This is why I don't like arguing with you, you always ignore or can't understand my point!


    FLOWER was Jisoo's FIRST ever solo song when BP was at their peak, basically, and it wasn't a typical full-on EDM, like her new song. It was more like a typical Dance-Pop! Again, don't talk about genres if you don't know anything about music.


    Quote

    if you're sayong LH isn't a good song then bro that's BS. it's her best song ever released alonside zen duh.

    "Love Hangover" is literally my fave Jennie song, like, EVER! So far! But it's basically like an indie slow RnB-Pop song that not many people love.

    Already answered to this. Not gonna tell you the same thing if you don't want to understand it!


    Taeyeon is 10 times bigger than Jennie ever will be, at least in Asia, yet her latest Title Track "Letter to Myself" peaked at #12! Didn't see you blaming Bang Bang PD for that.😂

    Why on Earth would I waste my time to talk to a pig? If you really think, that idiot man can manipulate Charts, you really are clueless and naive. I'd say, HYBE songs can be manipulated, but not someone else's. If any Korean Charts allowing that, people would know about it by now. This is not a Dan Brown book, not everything is a conspiracy!


    Blackpink is anything but rivals to any of his groups, LOL, what are you on about?🤣


    BP's only competition, especially in Korea is BTS, that's all! No one else!

    I didn't know about Scooter thing... Anyways.. let's see, in the end their international numbers are always better than 99% of kpop anyways. And tbh BP being sabotaged in SK isn't even a surprise anymore.

    I'm just a happy blink at this moment, I finally have music content like a normal kpop fan :meme-sobbing:

    You're calling me "dumb" meanwhile you can't understand what I'm saying! Congrats!


    Where did I trash their songs? Nowhere! I was talking about songs in general! Just because you're a BLINK and biased as hell, doesn't mean the average people will love their songs too. If THEY think it's crap, they won't stream it! Use your brain, please! This isn't about fanwars. I couldn't care less if BP girlies debuting #1 on every freakin' Charts on Earth! This has nothing to do with my opinion or what I think about their songs. You're always calling me a hater, but I NEVER, again, NEVER seen you writing a real review about songs! At least, I take my time to explain it for clueless kids like you why I loved or didn't like a song!


    I did answer normally at first, then this clueless Tokki as usual trying to force her own crazy delulu thinking on me.


    Read my first comment, then you can blame me if I said something insulting, but I didn't.

    No, honey boo, it only proves that this is literally my job, to listen to music and write reviews about it! Do you think I only do this to BP members? I follow 100s of musicians that I don't even like!


    Read your own comment, before you want to lecture me. Your lack of reading comprehension is starting to really irritate me!


    I literally said: I liked Lisa's new song, I liked Rose album in general, especially APT, and I liked Jennie's Love Hangover as well. Yet, like some crazy 5 year old child, you're whining here, because I don't love every song they released!


    If you want to argue with me, at least read my comments properly. If you can't understand what I'm saying, don't talk to me, simple as that!


    So yeah, just like you said: "STFU!"

    Taeyeon is literally 10 years into her carrier BRO. and at this point she NEEDED proper promo. Actually she had a GOOD debut on the charts, unlike Jennie struggling to even enter the top 100. even nugu's enter the top 70 bro. that's how insane that whole situation is!


    taeyeon started to fall of because there was not promo at all. and i'm still so angry about that X( .


    but unlike taeyeon, this is literaly jennie DEBUT album. so i don't think you can compare the two situations.


    ---


    Lol damn that pig :pepe-wink: . And yes i wish these chart manipulations waren't true but sadly, i think that they might be highly possible ;( .


    Yes duh, BP are BTS biggest rivals (the only group alonside sserafim that hybe actually cares about), so yes he's definitly gonna try to sabotage them in any way he can! and even more before they make their comback this year.

    Yes, and she still rules the charts! That's my point! "To X" was released more than a year ago, and it's still charting on TOP100!


    Name 1 nugu that can enter TOP100! A SOLOIST, not a group! I'll wait!


    I agree about Taeyeon's crap PR from SME, but I'm not gonna tell you again, that this isn't Jennie's debut album, and her album isn't even out yet, btw!


    You know what's my whish is? I wish people would stop obsessing about meaningless charts and streaming numbers! If you care about that more than the quality of the music, you don't love music at all!


    I couldn't give a damn if anyone manipulating charts. If a song is good, I will listen to it, if it's crap, it can be the #1 song even on Mars, I won't care.

    no i care about quality most. i wrecked that taeyeon ep, specially hot mess and blur :pepe-grooving: .

    but the charts also matter and they reflect the impact of the music on the public. the relevence of an act in the culture. so no it isn't irrelevent.


    but most importantly, i'm so over all the dirtyness and the manipulations in the inudstry, seeing mediocre *ss songs top the charts through mass payola while seing amazing songs getting buried. specially more when it might be linked to a nasty pig sabotaging them. yes the thought of it makes me angry!


    that's good. i feel like that with most of the stuff i listen to. which mostly are older albums or indie stuff or even kpop songs that don't even enter the top 100 of global or france charts so.. yeah i get you.

    All I'm gonna say is that a song doesn't have to enter any chart to have an impact on people! Charts are for short-term! The most Legendary songs are still impactful after decades, but can you see any of those charting? No! That's my point!
