I know it may be early to call but you cannot ignore how amazing they've been doing on the charts lately. I mean...they literally hit #1 AGAIN with only their 2nd comeback. No other GG this year have released two back to back #1 hits like Aespa
They already have 1 national hit in just their first year and Next Level is soon going to be the longest-charting GG song in Melon's top 10 within the next couple of weeks...let that sink in. They literally have 2 songs charting inside Melon's Top 10 and even their bsides are charting well. The hype they have from the general public makes it seem like they are a top-tier GG with years in the industry.
And everybody always forgets this one but I dont think some of you realize the sleeper hit that is Black Mamba. It literally went from one of the biggest flops at debut to a great chart longevity moderate hit. It is STILL charting on Gaon's Digital chart 11 months after release and it doesn't look like it will be leaving anytime soon given aespa's comeback boosted it on the charts again
With all of this said, aespa are proving they are a force to be reckoned with not even 1 year into their debut.
