Never thought I'd see the day KATSEYE outchart BLACKPINK on the Billboard Hot 100 but that day has arrived

Quote from Yama-Chan

I, for one, am shocked. Not sure if this is a KATSEYE upscale or a BLACKPINK downscale or both

will this help them have big tours and sales like bp?

All out charted newjeans final efforts who didnt spend a single week on the h100 last year. Massive newjeans downscale.

Pretty effing amazing tbh.

With 4th gen having seen its peak and on the decline, i think we are witnessing the scramble to replace them. I once referred to Katseye and Allday as the true 5th gen replacements (not groups like Kiii, Hearts, Illit, etc who i consider 4.75 gen). But with KPDH serving as a massive cultural reset who knows?

Maybe 5th gen will be a bunch of disparate elements leading Kpop forward. International groups with tons of foreign members, multiple languages mixed into the Korean in the songs, coed groups, more virtual groups, crossover with Japanese style anime, etc.

You gonna do this everytime a kpop song goes above BP on the hot 100? Patrick with a K levels of dedication.

i dont believe groups like these will have that long lifespan. Also when it will come down to touring and sales we will have to see if it translate. time will tell

I would've made a thread for aespa too, but they couldn't make it on the chart even with blatant rigging.

I actually felt guilty comparing even in a joke to you know who with K, step too far.

omg Aespa catching random strays lol. But why? The person you responded to seems to be a Twice/NJ stan judging by their badges.

I like Twice but I gotta be honest I only had 52 akrons and that Sana one was the cheapest.

At least it didn't get passed by Gnarly think I'd give up on music altogether if it ever did and I don't even like Jump that much.

Happily, Jump just surpassed Gnarly as the most-streamed girlgroup song of the year.

I can't believe Yama is still disrespecting it after it saved us like that.

Forget Billboard, I'm just shocked that releasing Gnarly wasn't the end of their careers. Then I remember the youngins have no taste.

While one could argue that Katseye is part of the Kpop ecosystem, I really don't think their formula is the way forward for the Kpop industry. They don't even consider themselves a Kpop group, despite promoting like one.

Please no more virtual groups.

As long as nobody sue, katseye is the path to stardom, with bp out of the map (that contract end in 2026) and with all the connections njz once had (so close to the sun them were burn by it) the sky is the limit

Ironically enough its been announced this week Hybe are debuting another global GG in an identical way from the same label as Katseye within a year of them debuting with the same contestants from the same show. Sure Katseye are thrilled.

Give up on music lmfaooo.

Imagine how I felt when Wicked was in Top 5 and not the musical masterpieces of 2025 like High Horse or Ash.

good for them...

different strokes for different folks

I saw it

But I don't think it's gonna do anything bc katseye, like those other groups that hit big so it bc the members are interesting and left overs from reality aren't

Gfr probably think they can replicate it like how yg though the same for bp hybe for bts, sm for exo/and etc etc

They are going to outlive NewJeans too, that's crazy

they are biased they see one area being "surpassed " and use to come at blinks lol but don't see bp also surpassed them in other areas

literally there is a thread about this blackpink's jump is still the most streamed song this year

everything is possible with scooter, so when they dump the group like nj, their true lacking power revealed. Enjoy it katseye

Who knows I mean it could be marketed differently too Katseye uses the kpop formula, I know people argue its not kpop but even though they don't sing Korean every aspect like lightsticks is very much kpop. I wonder if this new group goes for a different audience.

However if they don't and they follow the Katseye formula similar like Illit and NewJeans, I don't think thats a good look at all. Debuting the same type of group not even a year after the one you just debuted will raise question how confident Hybe are with Katseye.

Hybe stans be winning

Yama behave exactly like patrik with NJZ when it’s comes to BP

Just complete delusion and disregard for common sense. Two peas in a pod

Because I felt like it

Oh look, he's numbers wanking again

His room must reek of the results of his constant numbers wanking

So BP, Twice and Katseye who you said were less successful than njz charted in BB hot100 with the last releases, but njz couldn't get even 1 week with their last cb? Interesting 🤔

Quote from Yama-Chan

You Blinks keep saying that.

And I LOVE it.

Please, keep piling on when we all know NewJeans were sabotaged, and of the 4 songs they released last year, 2 were Japanese releases promoted exclusively in Japan, and 1 was only available on YouTube for the first month. The other was outright sabotaged by HYBE and still pulled numbers.

I can only imagine what NewJeans would do if they actually targeted the U.S., given how they eclipsed BLACKPINK and all other girl groups here, when they weren't even actively promoting or marketing themselves in the West. Lmao.

When NewJeans win their freedom, you all better hope and pray they flop. I can deal with all the heat I would get if that happens. None of you could handle the scenario where they reach new peaks though.

I mean you keep giving a million excuses all the time.

BP also dropped a comeback, never promoted it and charted this high doing nothing after all.

Just like how you think NJZ were sabotaged many people also think every record NJZ had on billboard was payola.

So you can keep giving as many excuses as you want but the fact remains that they didn’t chart. So that means that they must be less popular than all these GGs. Duh.

Yama doesn’t exhibit common sense and that’s what people like him and patrik have in common

NJZ was sabotaged from entering BB but blackpink dropping a CB and dipped while doing nothing else means they should chart #1 on billboard or they’re flops

Make it make sense

i'm not really surprised that katseye is doing so well. and i'm also not surprised they outcharted blackpink. not because i think blackpink is bad, but because yg literally does not know what they're doing ever. jump honestly did better than i thought it would! so good for both parties imo!
