Is it safe to say IVE is on their way to being the most popular 4th gen girl group internationally?

yes.

Tomboy used a ton of ads. Es, less than 1m likes in 4 days is bad for 33m views. Idle got called out too for their low like count.

Yeah, I actually dislike the way groups are using such massive amounts of ads nowadays, it just isn’t realistic. I think the only gg that doesn’t use ads is red velvet at the moment.

Blackpink doesn’t

Tomboy also used a crazy amount of ads. Just like ive. The views love dive has atm are the furtherest thing from organic. With the like-view ratio atm their real views are probably around 10-15 m.

Estimations are lower than that. They didn't enter the YT mv chart and this weeks thresh hold was just 4.3m. So we know in their first 3 days they pulled less views than that.

In Japan and Korea(which make up most of their views) they pulled about 1m between them. The estimation currently is they have about 8 or 9 million non ad assisted views.
