And western pop is still moving up

Playlisting.

Hot Hits Korea for exmaple:pasted-from-clipboard.png

Quote from jenniesbtch

This chart is so volatile and I'm not 100% sure why. Like this is BLACKPINK's placements. It's so drastically up and down and then there's just LSG and HYLT chilling, moving up and down 1 or 2 places a day.

Theres always a lot of volatility in lower ranks of charts with low streams, since the differences in streams are very small. And since the lauch, there is probably some fandom push that appears and disappears + given the already low streams it can cause relatively big fluctuations in ranks.

It will probably stabilize as time goes on, thats what has happened in other big countries after launch.

LSG and HYLT are more stable, since theyre in higher ranks on the chart where positions are not as volatile.

Quote from jenniesbtch

Do you think Spotify is going to grow significantly in Korea, or just be used as a fandom tool? I genuinely can't see it becoming that popular. I know it's only been 3 weeks but it's clearly just a fandom and playlist app.

People obviously don't care that much.

Well, it doesnt look good so far.

For example India and Russia didnt have such a drop after initial launch:

I guess it depends on if either they get all local artists on Spotify or if Korean fandoms fully start using it. If a big group's comeback doesnt increase the streams, its looking bad. Russia launched during a BTS Japanese comeback, thats why they have that small drop after few days.
