Ranking 3rd generation boygroups in terms of digital performance

From 8th-10th: VIXX, GOT7, NCT Dream.

The rest after that are frankly irrelevant digitally.

This is ain’t about who has the most hits in total but in overall how their title tracks, bsides and their albums performed on digital charts. In my opinion using Gaon digital points ain’t fair enough since they started in 2018 and many 3rd generation boygroups got their hits before that inception.

Here is my ranking:

1. BTS

2. EXO

3. Ikon

4. Winner

5. Wanna One

6. BTOB

7. SEVENTEEN

I don’t know which group to add to complete top 10 to be honest. What is yours?

Swap iKON and Winner. Other than that, accurate list.

The way no one cared about this list besides me and itiswhatitisss

i would place wanna one higher than Ikon maybe. They weren't around for that long but their streams are really good

I thought wanna one did better than ikon and winner since they had 2 songs charting over 52 weeks or more?

Seems more or less accurate with a few potential swaps but GOT7 definitely belongs in a top 10

Beside Love Scenario is Ikon above Winner? I always thought Winner was YG best male group after BB.

wanna one should be 3 or 4

They have multiple songs with 2.5M downloads (energetic and beautiful I think)

Also they have the 2nd most digital points for boy groups, only behind BTS, despite being active for only 1.5 years (with only 1 year having digital points) they got 3.3B in a year essentially.

NCT Dream and 127 digitals are pretty matched though, don't think there's a big gap there

Wanna should be higher and Winner above Ikon.

Digitals won’t favor 1st Gen. If not I’ll add Seo Taiji

The topic is on 3rd gen BG

ahh I forgot

My critisms are basically echoing everyone else here.

But it's a pretty accurate list if you ask me.

Btob 3rd, winner 4th, w1 5th, ikon 6th.

Well I wanted to fit OP's desire of a top 10, if I included 127 it would be top 11.

Great point. Yes Wanna One has 4 certifications (2 streaming, 2 download). More than Winner and iKON who both have 2 (1 streaming, 1 download).
