The reason why ICSM and Latida failed...Kpop labels, LISTEN UP.

Is latida supposed to be Ladida ? I think Ladida is amazing and totally in line with what they wanted to show : 80's synth pop with some electro vibes of the 90s/00s.

Was Dynamite retro? And I love ICSM!

yes but it was the fun retro that almost always does well

ICSM charted way better in Korea then Mago or LaDiDa did lmao, not even mentioning international charting where it did even better.

But ICSM is a great song, like why are you complaining?

Love both of those songs, especially ladida

ICSM and La Di Da are some of the best songs of 2020 in my opinion they're fairly melodic even if the choruses are explosive to some.

Blinding Lights was good but so overhyped IMO. It's like a solid 7.5 song while everyone made it out to be like this once in a generation type song. I'm like bruh, there are literally 1000s of 80s songs that are as good or better lol.

Physical was meh. More like an average song.

Here is real 80s music

Take that back...

Physical was the best Western song released in 2020

Same with you on ICSM's chorus. I don't mind it being a fast tempo song though but I only came here to mention to other "retro" songs which should be mentioned when we talk about 2020:

Why so many think StayC's „So Bad“ is retro and 80's like?!

I know pretty much all big 80's hit and many underground songs from that time too and nothing sounds like „So Bad“…

For me it has the most 21st century sound and melody possible.

Icsm was great. One of the best songs of the decade imo.

what is Latida? If it's La Di Da then you are kind of wrong. La Di Da is one of the best songs of 2020 to happen, EVERGLOW nailed it.

ICSM was beauty, its definitely underrated.

I'm kind of hoping we all move on from the retro sound for now. Maybe come back to it in a few years. But yeah songs like Mago and Ladida were amazing.

Rocket punch just released another retro bop

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

It did well on every chart (even charted in the top 40 of Flo) but didnt even crack the top 100 of Melon IIRC. Chalk it up to shitty GP taste in Korea

It went 60+ if i recall
