Bigger: Red Velvet's Bad Boy or Blackpink's D4

How is this even a question? D4 is much bigger domestically and internationally.

Bad Boy isn't even in the top2 Red Velvet hit songs.

d4 for being bigger and my personal preference...it was the song that introduced me to kpop

D4

D4 is Blackpinks biggest hit it`s bigger then Bad Boy for sure, it would be better to compare with something like Red Flavor since it`s more intresting cuz D4 was bigger internationaly, but Red Flavor was bigger in Korea

I don’t know. D4 would still pull through over RF in Korea too when you look at the stats. Plus, it topped Gallup. Red Flavor did have more longevity in the top 100 and does usually place higher in the summer, but D4 was typically higher outside of that season. But it’s much closer than this question.

The only blackpink song not bigger than bad boy is stay. is this a joke?

d4 is bigger obviously...... but I do love me some bad boy

An elite k-pop track actually. Very few songs reach that quality. Stats don’t matter when it’s excellent music. *shrug*

i totally get what u mean when it comes to stats, but sometimes we should also look at the impact and Red Flavor had more of an impact in Korea (D4 was huge there was so much hype when the song was out don`t get me wrong), but still RF made RV queens of summer in Korea and the song climbed the charts again for the next two summers.. also not long ago when talking about national hits knetz said RF was the only song that has potential besides the obvious ones like Growl and TT they don`t really mention D4.. i guess maybe D4 was bigger hit initially, but RF overall

D4

BAD BOY is still my jam but if I had to choose it will be D4 because it's really revolutionary.

I still think it will be a bit of a fight to place RF higher. It will be close, and I think quite a bit will place it higher but ultimately the success D4 paved for BP in Korea would still surpass RV. I mean, we’re talking about a song so popular that it not only topped the Gallup poll (still remains the only 3rd Gen GG song to do so) but Jennie went on to have a solo smash afterwards from the hype of the song. Peek-a-Boo didn’t do nearly as well as RF. RF is a seasonal song, so it rises during the summer but outside of that D4 garners more streams & ULS. Even now, the song isn’t that much higher than D4 during it’s prime season.

RF is a smash hit & I’m sure to several it will be placed higher than D4, but ultimately I don’t think it would outweigh D4’s success which pushed BP to global superstardom internationally & pushed them even higher in Korea to the point where a single group member beat two top tier groups on the digital charts alone.

DDDD was huge compared to Bad Boy, both domestically and globally. I would say that song launched BP into the global music scene - I’m saying this as someone who experienced both songs’ release and not a Blink or a ReVeluv

D4 was big but Bad Boy made me pay attention to Red Velvet

D4 was much bigger than Bad Boy everywhere.

As a song, Bad Boy is much more enjoyable for me.
