Highest Gain in Spotify Followers (Feb 1st, 2021)

lol many kpop groups there in the list! Thanks to Spotify Korea.. We can approximate the number of people in each fandom here. Well the ones that has iPhone (I heard they started off with iphone first?)

And Tae has a Spotify account? Why didn’t I know about this damn. BRB

BTS, IU and BP have the biggest Korean fandoms.

Increase of IU's followers is interesting, because majority of her songs are not available on Spotify Korea. I think only her collabs are uploaded? But people still followed her, queen

Quote from worldlove27

IU having the 3rd highest despite the fact that her music isn't available on Spotify Korea kinda makes me laugh lmao.. she is such a queen!

It really does show which artists have the hardcore fandom in Korea. Only huge fans would be signing up for Spotify and following their faves on the first day!

Imagine if GP signed up, IU would be even higher!

NCT 127 went from 4k to 15k

Very cool
