i checked melon and i was suprised with savage

Quote from Theo35

based on what? brave girl beat all national hit with just gone viral?

if anything, stream become more popular these days

Based on actual data from the charts? Daily melon ULs are about half of what they used to be two years ago. The only one that can do 700k+ ul these days is IU, and thats low compared to just 1,5 years ago when she did 1,3m+ UL on release.

In 2018 the biggest songs had 65-75m digital points in the first week of release. Today few songs can even reach above 40m.

But dont take my word for it, you can find most of the chart data from the last few years here:

Quote from chaelisayadom

Why people are calling OP a troll? It makes sense expecting more since people are calling savage a big smash in Korea and bigger then Psicho, of course people will have high expectations

Did people call that. I only see people call Next Level bigger than Psycho? Wait... did the OP and some people invented this narrative?

It is even lower when u talking about sustain. IU is at 530k right now after 3 days. These people don't follow charts, so it's a chore to argue with.
