Quantitative tiers of kpop groups (+quantity vs quality)

You have worked so hard, interesting info tho

Woah the gap lol

BTS - Quality and Quantity

Wow! Nice information. my first kpop group is C tier

Our boys really did that

They are the most dominant korean act ever......

interesting...

Quote from SailorVenus

did massive hack your account?

She was the stat master before I joined the site. Pay respect

myaza

when you state its weighted 50 50

how is it weighted 50 50 is it done by total numbers

i'm interested in the methodology

Aaaaa these hips and stats don’t lie!

Quote from myaza

Relative index of physicals (top sales get 1, everyone else gets % of top sales as their index) counts for 50%, relative index of digitals counts for 50%.

gotcha

Nobody is doing it like them

Wow I appreciated the amount of time and effort you out into this myaza.

Wow this really puts into perspective the gap with bts and the rest of Kpop

BTS is unmatched they're monsters in every area at this point

Quality+Quantity=BTS

Very refreshing to read threads where the OP backs their claims with hard factual data . Thank you for putting in the effort myaza

Bts is light years beyond anyone cited here. it keeps getting more and more ridiculous to compare with other kpop acts.

(something kpoppies keep clowning themselves and their faves doing it anyway)

They are playing and topping the global scene now .

Harsh comment ahead but....

This picture:

If you take away BTS data, everyone else will stop being compressed on that corner lol

BTS just scales everything up too much, such outliners.

The gap tho

now why tf is Blackpink so low

lmao the gap between bts and the rest is so big i didnt even see them at first

guess its a good time to use this

TVXQ and SNSD on tier B? it is a joke. you do know numbers mean differently at different times right?

WOW. This is one of the BEST threads I read so far. Armys are so smart and talented!!

And it really is impressive to me that BTS keeps moving forward with this much career they built in the industry.

So much inspiration and so proud of them!! Thanks for the thread again!

Wow I'm amazed at the time and effort put into this! But this is exactly why BTS are dominating in a class of their own. The numbers don't lie 🤯

Quantitative ranking of kpop groups tiers. I included most of big 2nd gen to 4th gen groups (the ones who have sold 1+ million, have any KMAs or are in top 20 Korean artists on Spotify).

The ranking is based on equally weighted physicals and digitals (50% Korean, 50% Youtube+Spotify).

Tiers are based on clustering of final ranking index.

Some of the individual inputs, including extras (critical acclaim, US success):

BTS is most successful based on any metric, except Korean digitals where BigBang is leading with a big margin (half of these points from pre-Gaon era).

In everything else noone comes even close to BTS.

It is also interesting to look at critical acclaim vs overall success:pasted-from-clipboard.png

Theres a cluster of big3 girl groups whose nbr of KMA nominations exceeds the success level and there seems to be some trend for KMA nominations being at least a tiny bit correlated to success for others. BTS is clearly separated from the rest of kpop.

Physical sales: Gaon + Oricon

Korean Digitals: Gaon end of year chart + Melon end of year charts for pre 2010 (100 points for #1, 1 point for #100)

Wow impressive, thanks for your work!

I have a question: are you taking into account the number of songs/albums released or not at all?

This reminds me off that block graph MassiveKpopFan did for idol group digital points, BTS was so high you had to zoom out to see the top
