2016, a statement year. Trendy and newly debuted girl groups delivered hits left and right. Year-end Digital Chart: #01. TWICE - CHEER UP #03. GFriend - Rough #12. Mamamoo - You're The Best #16. TWICE - Like OOH-AHH #26. TWICE - TT #27. GFriend - Me gustas tu #29. GFriend - NAVILLERA #32. BLACKPINK - Whistle #38. Red Velvet - Russian Roulette #47. I.O.I. - Very Very Very #70. Mamamoo - Decalcomanie #71. BLACKPINK - Playing With Fire #80. Mamamoo - I Miss You #84. Lovelyz - Ah-Choo Mamamoo, Red Velvet and Lovelyz were in their 2nd-3rd year TWICE and GFriend were in their 1st-2nd year BLACKPINK and I.O.I were in their debut year My question is this -- If the 4th generation is already here, why is there no significant shift in hierarchy? The top 1-4 girl groups right now are still all 3rd gen groups. Is it possible that 4th gen is not here yet and only coming this year or the next?

When the 3rd generation girl groups arrived, you know a shift happened.
