Top 5 of idol groups with the most successful year in 2021

I feel like TWICE had a good year as well, 100% totally better than 2020 with a good performance in Korea with Alcohol-Free and an amazing US Debut with The Feels. Scientist didn't do as well but they really killed everyone with the full album.

Agreed with the list but Stayc should be on the list too instead of txt. Asap is one of the popular idol song in S.Korea atm and their album sell very well too. Not too say, with their Asap success, the girls managed to grab more endorsemnts deal.

I think twice should be there as well they done great this year

Is this sk only, cause otherwise how are you gonna tell me brave girls is 3rd and twice nowhere to be seen. I only agree with bts lol

BLACKPINK 2022 👏

I don't agre with some ranks. Inly dream aespa and BTS

Twice charted on bb hot 100, the feels also got amazing international numbers and they keep breaking their previous physical records, being the best selling gg this year and selling almost 100k in the US with a top 4(? Debut on bb200.

Nct 127 became a 2 million seller with sticker and the repackage also surpassed 1 million. They charted on melon daily chart for like a month, got more than 10 wins for Sticker, sold already more than 150k in the US, debuted #3 on bb 200.

Seventeen sold above 2 millions with Attaca, got two of the most successful bg songs this year in Korea, keep breaking records in Japan and they improved their charting on bb200.

So these groups should be ranked instead brave girls and txt imo.

I even consider enhypen higher than txt tbh, they became million sellers this year and their Spotify charting isn't that different.

Idk what happen to Brave Girls. Had it not for covid, they would probably be promoting heavily in Korea?

If we are going by growth & success I would have...

1. BTS; lol easy enough to know with new Hot100 records, best selling single album, million seller japanese compliation, ArOTY at AMA, etc

2. Aespa; have 2 big hits in NL and Savage, 500k debut album, strong streams - they have had a breakout year

3. NCT Dream; had one of the biggest increases from albums sales compared to last year, only nct track to hit 100 million index, grew international streams & charting

4. Twice; New peak international charting of bb200, hot100, and spotify, af same charting as last year, strong/growth in phsyicals

5. Tie

Stray Kids; Strong sales growth, 2nd bg in interantional stream solidified, 2nd biggest comparative digitals growth to past charting

Seventeen; Sales growth, maintained 100 mill track standard, decent growth in japanese/us sales

HMs: TXT, En-, Brave girls, NCT 127, and Stayc

BTS and TWICE are my top 2.

I would put in Enhypen too.

They became the group with highest album sales for 4th gen, they had a viral song that became the most streamed one of 4th gen this year, they dominated in Japan, their fandom grew so much (as showed through the mama votings as example where they're top 3), their billboard charting is one of the best for 4th gen and also, they won couple of bonsangs already, award on mma etc.

It was a very successful year for them so I would replace them with one of the groups on your list

I agree with this, Seventeen and NCT 127 could definitely be put up there. They both had huge boosts this year to ignore.

Yes and I think that considering when they debuted (both groups are 3rd gen) it's even more amazing how much they keep growing and expanding their market.
