If NCT Dream album sells 2m, are they easily top 3 alltime?

BOI OH BOI, THIS HAS BEEN DONE AND CLOSED

We have to see Exo and Seventeen comebacks then decide

Interesting

album sales are not the only metric that determines popularity. Hits, touring, popular members, and so on. Unfortunately, NCT dream is not at the top in other metrics

they still need a hit song and touring numbers

Debateble. That's like saying Cardi B. is the greatest rapper of all time. There are a couple other relevant questions that should be asked:

• What is the replay value of this artist or group's catalog?
• What is this artist or group's impact and influence on the industry?

No, album sales are not the only factor.

Let me know when they get a song on the top 100 gaon year end digital chart, then sure

Exactly, especially when there are multiple versions to purchase. It’s a combination of many things, NCT DREAM regardless of album sales have to prove themselves in other metrics.

We don’t use one metric to decide the ranks

Honestly, SVT just needs to comeback before this conversation can be had......

In SM alone TVXQ, exo and suju r bigger. Lol.

BTS, Seo Taji and the Boys, Big Bang are undisputed top 3 of all time in k-pop.

Then there are groups like SNSD, TVXQ!, g.o.d, H.O.T, Exo, Twice, Blackpink, 2NE1, Wonder Girls and many more who have far bigger legacy than other active artists.

So no not even close imo.

No, we have a massive fandom who is sleeping the last 2 years, another fandom who is waiting to explode once again (SVT) and literally the rest of NCT who has yet to used their newly found popularity with Resonance. It's clear as hell that other NCT units will have massive growth in the next few months.

Quote from SooYoung

if they do yes

they are for the moment the best BG in charting 2020-2021 behind BTS

and if they reach 2M it will also make them the second best selling BG behind BTS

so yes i don't see what would prevent them from being in the top 3

i don't understand why people are now keep trying to make new criteria for NCT to achieve

when 1 months ago nobody cared about BG digital etc.... and only focus on Sales because "GP aren't fans of BG so they never chart well"

NCT suddenly chart well and now physicals is no longer the new metrics, we need to see how many hit song they'll have, how many digital points, etc.....

I feel like NCT whatever they do , it'll always be a problem for people to consider them as a top Group, i guess they can't accept the fact that a group with a concept as complex than NCT , a group that everybody felt we'll flop is now successfull

I agree with you and i will add that this situation remind me BTS 2016/2017.

Sale but not hit song Bla bla bla.

Probably they will never reach BTS level but the reaction aroud them totally remind me the years of BTS rise
