Is Red Velvet a Top 5 Girl Group in 2021?

maybe if they had a comeback 👀

Where's OMG

Another day another thread trying to downplay RV as if Psycho doesn't exist

1. Blackpink

2. Twice

3. Oh My Girl

4. (G)-Idle

5. Mamamoo/RV

I think that's more accurate but I don't really follow charts and stuff so idk. RV hasn't even had a comeback yet, I think it's too soon to say they'll "fall off" the top 5. Psycho and Irene/Seulgi's sub-unit existed and did really well.

Quote from itiswhatitisss

So we're going to pretend that Psycho didn't just chart for 348 days aka almost a whole year eye-

Irene&Seulgi alone outsold half of the groups on that list so yes.

Exactly they always downplay RV it's ridiculous they did this mess last year before Psycho released saying RV was flopping and RV wasn't top group then Psycho came and outsold and out charted most GGs and haters went silent

Aespa? Lmao

I know this is probably yet another shading and baiting thread, since Drew is 1 of the most hardcore, vile RV hater trolls on AKP. But here we go.

SBS has screwed them over really good: instead of having a great comeback and promotion with an epic song, they were pushed into hiatus for over a year now, and who knows how long it'll take before their comeback.

It's already a miracle that Wendy's still alive, without lifelong lasting injuries.

Still, even despite SBS' sabotage, their song Psycho is still - without promotion - the idol song that charted highest and performed best in 2020, and Seulgi & Irene had the highest album sales of female solo's and sub-units.

RV's sub-unit even surpassed (G)I-dle, Mamamoo and ITZY with their album sales (232k).

If they can do that with a sub-unit, who knows how their album sales might do when they comeback as a full group.

So yes, even in their absence, they still had 1 of the best charting songs of last year, a sub-unit that had the highest album sales among girl idols (non-groups) and they're still acknowledged as the #3 girl group by common Koreans.

As for how 2021 will go, we'll see when they come back.

How is G-Idle and Aespa above RV?? Lol

Is OMG really that big? What kind of physicals do they push? 100k?

They only become popular in 2020 so their album sales may reflect on their next comeback. Currently their best selling album is 52k.

Red Velvet is still Top5 GG in my list. Just yesterday I had a marathon RV streaming session because I was in the mood.. I do miss their one of a kind sound. Hope RV will comeback soon!

They will

Izone belongs in the discussion as well as OMG. These two plus BP, Twice, MMM, Itzy, RV and Gidle make up the top 8 GG of Kpop right now.

Red velvet are like tied for 3rd with itzy, after them it's mamamoo. Then it comes a tier with omg/idle

Edit: I forgot about izone, I think they can easily be ahead fo mmm since their album sales are so good

of course they are! don't even try that

Like all their wins and achievements have suddenly been forgotten? Oh Beyonce hasn't made music for awhile is she still relevant? psht see how silly that sound

Also your list is wrong its :

1 Blackpink

2 Twice

3 Red velvet

4 Izone

5 Mamamoo

aespa are not even top 10 currently and gidle are equal

Also rv is still in the top 5

Quote from neraidle

aespa are not even top 10 currently and gidle are equal

Wouldn't go that far hun, aespa may be new and only debuted two months ago, BUT they have already gotten wins and awards and are doing way better than almost all 4th gen groups/ rookies and wayyyy more relevant than some 3rd gen

Quote from Drew_B

f(x)'s have. Revuvus love to discredit f(x) success but when someone does it to RV then suddenly it's a problem lol.

Well best take that up with the head of SM entertainment then lol

Wait for their comeback, but you know damn well they're above Aespa. They got one song that did semi-decent and yall start acting up.

6. Aespa/Mamamoo

RV has more succes than f(x) tho BP has more succes than 2ne1 TWICE has more succes than MissA so why you only care about RV ?? We are discussion ACTIVE groups RV is only on hiatus because Wendy injury and IRENE scandal

Kinda

They gained A LOT of new fans after Psycho and I&S, plus Wendy is finally back so....

Still too early to predict this.

Need to see how ITZY, OMG and Aespa perform. The coming comeback will be their break or make point.

Edit: red velvet too after irene gate

lmao the big3 privilege for Aespa is strong, people calling them top 5 depsite having nothing to back it up

current ranking

BP

Twice

Mamamoo

IZ

RV

And then it's Itzy followed by Gidle

Quote from JaSida

Gidle is definitely above aespa and oh my girl

Reminds me of the time when akp users didn't include bp among top 5 ggs in 2019 when they were on hiatus and touring.

Tier 1: Blackpink/Twice

Tier 2: IZone/RV

Tier 3: Mamamoo/G-idle/Itzy

Aespa is new so I’m not adding them to any tier since it should have another comeback and album release to gauge them.

It's still early in the year, let's wait for all these groups to do a promotion first and then make a ranking for 2021.

And OP stop trolling, what makes aespa the same level as Mamamoo? Also just because (g)i-dle comes back it doesn't mean that they suddenly ahead of Mamamoo.

Obviously a bait theread, but yes RV is in the top 3 gg groups of 3rd gen.
