1. aespa ( Perfect-all-kill !! they have everything; digital, physical, yt views, it girls winter and karina and hit song next level. Without a doubt, they're the top rn)
2. itzy ( yes their last cb flopped but their overall melon performance since debut are a lil bit better than g-idle. Their album sales and yt views are on par with aespa.)

3. gidle ( tomboy slayed atm... but itzy's physical sales and international popularity >>> )
4. ive (their debut song is a hit. They have wonyoung, the it girl. They also have a better album sales than gidle. If their cb will do well then they're gonna snatch the top 3.)
5. stayc ( they also did well but not better than the 4 groups above.)
6. nmixx ( youtube views and physical sales are good for a rookie. They're also slowly climbing up in melon chart. Sullyoon is the talk of the town. )
7. kepler (Queendom might help them gain more attention)
8 weeekly (they're so underrated 😭 how i wish they're included in queendom 😭😭)
bgs are kinda hard to rank tbh.

txt /enhypen (idk who to put in 2nd spot, txt needs to cb first)
* youtube mv views - txt = > enha
* physical sales - enha > txt
* spotify - enha = > txt ( txt currently have 7m monthly listeners but if they will have a cb it might reach 10m. But when it comes to streams, enha > txt)
* melon - txt > enha
* social media engagements - enha >>> txt ;
if you look at their twitter rts/likes and views of their youtube contents, enha did better)
I have a feeling that txt's comeback will do better than skz. Let's see 👀
treasure >>>> tbz = ateez
people here are underestimating treasure too much. I'm not even a fan but their recent cb is doing much better.
album: treasure >>
melon: tbz >
spotify: treasure >>
youtube: treasure >>>
social media engagement: treasure >>
tbz is only popular in korea but internationally...*crickets*
I don't know much about ateez
this is only my personal opinion so don't come at me 😅
