Other's have featured on an i-artists album eg BP has been on both Dua's album with KAMU and Lady Gaga's Album with Sour Candy.
Those are the only 2 i can think of atm
Thanks, Forget abt those. Wow, so 'My Universe' truly did amazing on chart so far for that type of collab.
Can any Collab involving a kpop artist & a western artist be nominated in award show for Collab of the year if it has performed upto the mark?
I mean has it ever happened?
I'm curious abt this as well, I think this is a first time a Korean act featured on an International artist's albums, usually it's the other way around.
One person. Overall the collab is doing great on kcharts.
Still kinda expecting at least one person to updated a chart performance for ITZY here ngl.
What's there to talk? The initial performance won't be good because of release time. We have to wait for at least a week.
Well thats the same case with ColdplayxBTS collab, but some ppl already gave their judgement based on the first 2 hours performance or so.
Afaik it peaked at #3 on 18 and 19 Sept 12AM KST
Display Moreanybody know what's happening on Melon today it's so weird
Itzy is already in the top 100 of melon top 100
and Bts x coldplay song is already out of the top 10 of melon
i didn't expect them to do really well since it's a collab but i never thought they would leave top 10 so quickly
How's Itzy performance on Melon?
Regarding longevity, id be hesistant to draw any conlusions when comparing songs released 2017 and onwards with songs released earlier than that.
2016 songs seems to have a pretty crazy longevity as well, If I'm not wrong there are around 5/6 songs that spend more than 70 weeks on Gaon from year 2016.
Perhaps that G-Friend song
After my quick search, for 2015 seems like it's "Justin Bieber-Love Yourself" with 88 weeks on Gaon or so. Don't know how accurate that is tho.
Edit- After my short research I come to a conclusion that
Kr soloist + Western singer >> Idol Group, in the longevity department. Even some Idol Group mega hits from 2016-onwards suck at longevity game compared to soloist & western singer songs.
To be fair bigbang is a 2nd gen group so i wouldn't hold insane longevity against them. Look at the years from when songs in general started to spend more and more time on the charts.
At first I always thought they're on the same level as IU in terms of overall Digital Performance ngl. Esp since both of them have a pretty similar initial impact, kinda. Which is really impressive. But seems like BB are still far behind in terms of longevity.
Lies did 54 weeks on Melon Spsnowflakes
Longest charting on Gaon is BANG BANG BANG @ 43 weeks
Bang3x only charted for 43 weeks? Wow. Do you know whats the longest charting 2015 song on Gaon overall?

Looks like a bad edit, but is actually real lol.

Speaking abt Bigbang, whats the best performing Bigbang song in terms of longevity, is it "Lies"? Is it still the biggest Bigbang's song in Korea till now?
Yeah girl groups also went two or three folds during the pandemic with online fansigns. I think Itzy went from 150k to 350k, Same for RV I guess.
I just think there is bigger possibility of a girl group selling 1m than a boy group getting a PAK. Coz even though Melon is now easier to top, Flo still isn't.
Is Melon really easier to top now? Always thought it's still hard to top the Daily Chart, only Top100 Chart is easier to top now compared to 24Hits. Either way song still needs to top Daily chart to get a PAK.
TT is the longest charting Kpop song in the second biggest music market of the world. Was at one point the most viewed Kpop group MV. Has 110+ streams on Spotify despite being added years later. Imo, it is the biggest hit of 2016 internationally.
Also, I think D4 is the biggest song of 2018 internationally.
TT never hold the 'most viewed Kpop group MV' title. Before they manage to overtook Bigbang-Bang3x, BTS-DNA surpassed it first.
But how many gg's have sold a million copies on a single album release?
I never said anything abt album sales in that post of mine that you quoted. I simply said I don't agree abt the "getting PAK seems easier now" part. Viral song alone is not enough, otherwise Aespa-Next Level would be drowning in PAKs by now.
The girl groups selling another 1m aside of BP is gonna be the hardest to break. China's ban + World tours and fanmeetings coming back + merch at concert coming back + incoming economic crisis due covid = probably a huge hit in physical sales in the next years, doubt another girl group will sell 1m at least until the next decade, plus a pak seems easier now if you have a gp friendly song and a good promotion like a tiktok challenge that could lead the song to a good virality moment
Looking at the number of songs with a PAK throughout the years I don't think it's easier to get a PAK now tbh.
2016 : 18 songs got a PAK
2017 : 16 songs
2018 : 13 songs
2019 : 6 songs
2020 : 8 songs
2021 : 5/6 songs so far
The numbers of song with PAK are on a downward trend kinda, so I personally don't see it as "easier" now.
