I blame you

i haven't listened to the song yet cause it hasn't reached a billion streams

soon i will be able to listen to pink venom though

and being able to listen to that instead of having to listen to say elton john is going to be a gift

Well BP have been in the game for 10 years and aren’t promoting their album so it does make sense

If they decided to actually promote the song they would have different results! But 10 years into their careers and successful solo careers there’s nothing they really need to prove anymore!

God I dont wanna see this kind of thread about bts. The way they are moving about album promo, it seems to ba a possibility soon

Anyways, only reason is that this was new type of sound for blackpink and they did not promote it, if they had it would have been doing fine

Then why are you still here?

Do you think aespa will fumble?

Newjeans is reportedly to have a comeback soon.

BTS's comeback is likely not going to be a flop based on what we've seen so far.

I just realised after listening to Go again (which btw is my fav TT from BP in a long time! Such a great song ) that the song is all in English like 98% is English!

That was a bad move on YG!

How do you mean?

They didn't tank. They sold 1.46+ million mini-albums on their first day, setting a new all time record for girl groups! Their streaming numbers are lower than expected but that's because there wasn't any traditional promotions at all (the girls are literally in 4 different countries right now) and GO was missing from some of the major playlists which I don't understand why. All in all they did really well!!

They should have made Go 50/50 or more Korean lyrics than English. I’m assuming YG had a choice in the matter as they’re still BP company

It’s not just them a lot of kpop songs have been using more English lyrics than Korean! Not entirety sure what’s causing Kpop companies to prefer this but earlier Kpop songs had way more Korean and limited English lyrics compared to modern kpop

You're right on the trend, but I don't understand why it's a bad move?

Imo the more a song has english lyrics the less likely it is to do well in Korea! I mean Korean is the primary language and not everyone speaks or understands English in Korea so wouldn’t willingly listen to it unless a group’s primary focus is strictly the west or global, kpop songs should always have predominately Korean lyrics

Of course there are exceptions but those are the minority and smash hits/global hits like All I want for Christmas
