Who dominate the first half of 2021 ?

when you say dominate do you just mean Korean charting???

since for GG

twice's current album is set to hit what 500K i think???

(just throwing that out there...)

Twice outsold all these GGs combined plus their song is in top 10 of all charts. They are definitely top 3.

Why TXT but not EXO? anyways Aespa without an album... so proud

Baekhyun

- only the second artist to achieve "million seller" in both a group as a solo artist in Korea

- double million seller by selling a million of Bambi a year after selling over a million with Delight (keeping in mind that Delight was the first solo album to sell over a million copies in 19 years)

- WITH NO PROMOTIONS

- also with EXO, sextuple million seller

- ALSO WITH NO PROMOTIONS

- Gold album in Japan (Japanese release)

Quote from icyruios

Everyone is talking about em, you know it we all know it

None other than NGG

Aespa?

The IU erasure in this forum

Brave Girls (do i even have to describe why? lol) -------> Aespa (4th gen leader) ------------------------------------> Rose (Gaon records)----> NCT Dream (Gaon records)

So I assume this list is without knowing Twice's Gaon album sales. Understandable.

This....

I’d say Aespa.

Brave girls and its not even a competition..

3 releases in top 10 rising from the fearful disbandment in just a span of few months and now being everywhere in the country..

they fucking owned it

Blackpink

Brave Girls, Twice, Aespa.

BG because they had 3 hits by now.

Twice has overwhelming physicals and is consistent top10 digitals

Aespa despite not having physicals managed to get into Top 5 and Topped Melon Chart with recent competition being huge digimons and NL is definitely Hit status now.

Eeks ended the thread

So rood /j

I mean theyre indisputable #1 on BGs and overall

brave girls, bts and aespa

they led the 2nd gen, 3rd gen and 4th gen this first 2021 for obvious reasons.

RE: Hear Ye! Hear Ye! BTS BUTTER MILESTONES SO FAR!!!
^butter cause if i had to list it myself, this post would be too long.

take into account Film Out as well.

BTS, THE BEST having 1.1M international shipments with around 800k sold on oricon.

NOt to mention BTS has sold over 2M on Gaon WITHOUT an album release in 2021.

Currently the

4th most streamed artist on spotify in 2021 so far (no korean album release yet)

most streamed artist on youtube in 2021 so far

the fact that they have yet to release an album, but are dominating. LEGENDS

BTS without a doubt.

Anyone who doesnt have BTS as #1 is either trying to be shady or truly delusional.

1)Bts

For girl groups, the top 3 most dominant groups are definitely Brave Girls, aespa, and Twice. For boygroups, I’ll put EXO there instead of TXT. (I’m not an exo-l but what made you put txt over them?)

lol nah, Butter's UL counts arent great this time around.

BG--------------Aespa-----------Rose----------NCT Dream were the biggest stories in the first half of 2021. The first two for digitals, the latter two for physicals.

assuming this is idol groups and no soloists?

bg - BTS

gg - brave girls

BTS with just 1 song, 'Butter', with 53 International record breaking achievements

the way you downplay bts.

you are in need of reality check. i'm out b4 you mess up another decent thread again.

Bg: BTS

Soloist: IU

Gg: Twice

Overall BTS

I am considering across all metrics since it was not specified in the title. All these acts dominated locally and internationally

Let's see, I and others have a civil discussion where we all present our opinions nicely. BG, Aespa, Rose, and NCT Dream are my picks.

Pressed Army barges into this thread and calls anyone who doesnt choose BTS delusional or shady.

Who is the one messing up a decent thread again?

I am glad people finally gotten sick of that OlivaHouse, AespaHouse, TwiceHouse, BPHouse or any successful groups House and know his true nature..

This. I'm tired, seriously. The constant downplaying of BTS... seriously.

IU, BTS, Aespa and Brave Girls

Wut? All i did was say that Brave Girls, Aespa, Rose and NCT Dream were the biggest stories of the 1st half of 2021. Then myaza barges in on a thread and insults everyone by saying that anyone who doesnt pick BTS is delusional or shady. And suddenly i'm the bad guy?

What in God's name has got y'all pressed?
