Peak is more important than longevity on the new melon chart

no, longevity >>>>>>

Maybe

hard disagree

Quote from Rojen

I'll post an example if u want to see it.

wouldn't change my opinion tbh

why not both?

not really, that mean a song go high but don't last

What's the point then

i think u have to consider few points

1) peak, was it only for a week or so? For example, in the past there were many songs debut on #1 but fell off chart within 10 weeks. Those are definitely not huge hits

2) longevity - but what was the peak level? Maybe a song could chart for 3 years and never go pass top50. Then, it could be considered a hit to a certain extent.

When u compare a #1 song that lasted at least @@@177b4b46-b1a4-4680-97f4-c4228774b097@@@ weeks on chart, vs a #50 song that lasted a year on chart, i would think the former is bigger

You spoke out what I thought.

You have to define peak and longevity, if you peak #1 and fall down quickly it's probably that the fandom pushed it but the GP didn't really liked it, if you stay long enough at a high enough rank, the reason will probably that outside the fandom, the people like that song

I see it....longetivity is pretty much guaranteed with this new chart once they get in the top 100 songs dont fall out for a while. thats why it takes longer for the new song to chart high. i bet most groups are doing better in longetivity in regards to remaining in the top 100. its not so special anymore when evryone is charting longer. top ten charting for a long time is still pretty hard tho. if you peak high, your mostlikely not hoing anywhere for a while so its more important.

Peak is always more important if you're talking about the best. You cant be the top song if you're the bridesmaid, simple as that. Champions are #1 first and foremost, before we talk about a champion's longevity, he or she has to be #1 first.

I think longevity makes more sense logically speaking, but in the kpop world peaking even for an hour could literally get you breaking records, but as someone mentioned above longevity at 70 plus wouldn't really get you much. I think I'd rather peak high then gradually go down, than have longevity any number over 70

Hardly. Many songs charted on top100 within first few days and fell out very fast.
