Wut? It was literally the SOTY for 2023, remember that Ditto had 3 months to accumulate extra ULs and pad its lead before I AM released. If you look at standardized time frames (the first 30 days of release), I AM is 10 percent higher.

You should be grateful that “Ditto” was released 16 days earlier into 2022 because that’s the only thing you have to even make any arguments for other songs to have a slim chance for SOTY…

Kpoopers in Pannchoa started to catch on to “Rhapsody of soorow” reaching #1 and to no surprise, Sajaegi was thrown to him immediately.

One comment is really hilarious…

“Right?? if you're gonna take advantage of the system at least don't make it so obvious?? why not do #75 > #33 > #15 > #8 > #1 or something?? Even if it rose faster than a song typically would, it would still be more believable than just a spontaneous straight to #1!“
And that’s literally what happened to the song lmao. Its weekly ranking in Melon is #66 > #30 > #16 > #7 > #4. Funny that “Perfect night” can go from #74 > #1 in 4 weeks and it’s fine. Even Parc Jae Jung “Let’s say goodbye” was debuting at #180 too in its first week before rising to #4. But I get it, the reputation he got isn’t good so an easy target for Kpop fans.

looks like Lim Jae Hyun will surpass Perfect Night's uls today. Hitting 1 on top100 giving him another boost. Pretty crazy to suddenly have a cover version of a 2006 ballad top the charts now

It happens faster than I expected, I thought it would take 2-3 more days to overtake Perfect Night in Top 100. Probably needs few more days to overtake it in daily chart though.

I think the song probably gains some tractions from karaoke first and then to mainstream in general.

Also, Lee Mujin’s new song starts to climb up more and more, we could have a dark horse here.

I expect ITZY to not chart very well but I didn’t expect something like even charting out from Bugs in literally 1 day tbh.

Can they still climb back after promotion? Sure. But at this point, JYP GGs have all lost its pull to the public right now.

To.X starting to get higher than Perfect night in Melon real-time chart in late hours (11PM - 1 AM) in past few days. Think it’s pretty interesting thing that may lead to some competition soon. (22k gap between both songs right now compared with 41k gap last week.)

Rhapsody of sorrow is one of my most favorite old K-rock/ballad so it’s great to see its remake doing well. Anyway, anyone remember Lim Jae Hyun as one of artists getting accused for Sajaegi by Park Kyung in 2019? Looks like he regained his reputation back this year.

Anyone knows if there are any big releases from any artists in January besides ITZY and NMIXX because Perfect night may literally cruise through this month without a scratch at all…

Okay, but Day6 - “You were beautiful” is currently at #100 in Melon 24hit right now and may potentially get back into Top 100 daily chart tomorrow too.

Pretty insane charting for both this and “Time of our life” in these recent years, both songs didn’t have a great number during initial charting but their consistency is amazing and ages really well as time passed.

Happy to see VIVIZ getting a good result here, “Maniac” is a good song so I’m glad it got the recognition.

I think this is a big chance for ITZY and NMIXX to take over the chart, there is never more perfect timing than this. If both fails to even capitalize this then I don’t know what will put them back in the conversation of “top girl group” at this point.

I didn’t realise Chill Kill flopped pretty bad everywhere

Only 13m Spotify streams after nearly a month. 16m YouTube views. Not much of an impact domestically. Physicals down.

Wouldn’t be surprised if SM shelve them to one comeback every 2/3 years when the new girl group comes out

It didn’t do that bad domestically. Top 20 in Melon and most other charts after 1 month is okay for a 9 year old GG. At least they are doing better than their peers’ releases this year and also better than their previous one, Birthday.

For albums, isn’t it the problem with Kakao album distribution that the number went down for all SM acts? Also, RV isn’t considered a big physical monster back in the day. (Before album burst in 2020, they regularly pulled around 100k+ when BP and Twice were around 300-400k).

For Youtube, it’s the problem for SM older acts to get high views because there are no ads for them to get promoted like newer groups. Taeyeon’s To.X also has only 3 Millions right now which is a bit surprising.

oh, can BOL4 still dominate the charts?

The last comeback didn’t do that bad but BOL4 has lost a lot of digital power since Ahn Jiyoung went solo so we shouldn’t expect much.

Glad Taeyeon is doing really well (better than I expected tbh)

Feel like Le Sserafim, Dean and Aespa are all waiting for a big boost on Monday to take off. Melon old realtime chart at 1 AM has “Die 4 You” at #14, “Perfect night” at #16 and “Drama” at #19. Meanwhile “Baddie” drops to #43 (with “Chill Kill” and “Love lee” at #61 and #62).

So there is a high possibility of all three songs getting #1-3 at peak hours and may remain there and overtake “Baddie” for few hours. “Chill kill” also could get a decent boost and may crack Top 5 too.

p.s. I’m talking about old realtime chart.

Impressive number from Dean in these first 2 hours, maybe we have someone unexpectedly (yet expected) challenging the top spot soon.

Quote from Beesknees

Aespa’s first week sales down by near half a million and Stray Kids near a million

Probably a combination of many things; releasing new album too soon, delayed album shipment, inflating album number bubble burst etc.

Midweek days like Tuesday-Thursday always have a decease in ULs compared to Monday and Friday so I don’t know why anyone should be surprised at the decease UL of any song…

It seems like Sung Si Kyung and Naul combo are going to do some interesting damage to charts right now.

Come on, just let them experimenting new things. IVE is currently in their peak right now. If they don’t try this now then when should they do it? I’m actually glad that they try to do something new.

Also too early to say how their comeback this time will do overall, just wait and see.

Quote from gerrard174

I like how senior idol groups with deep discography always go Killing voice for promo. It is nice to sit and listen through their discograhpy and realise how good their songs are (e.g. kara, btob, exo, infinite, apink)

However, CMIIW, I didnt see the impact on chart with these groups unfortunately.The one i remember going viral was Mamamoo one. I believe it kinda helped dingga to chart better

I remember Kara old songs climbed back up the chart in some degrees like Step, Mister, Lupin but it coincided with their comeback too so both could be factors.

I also see some old Exo songs even B-side like Don’t go back in Top 1000 too.

I remember most Taeyeon’s songs climbing a lot after her appearance too especially B-sides like Time lapse, Drawing our moments, Gravity etc.

I just come here to discuss about JK finally getting #1 and what is all these useless dramas going on here?

Melon having a decrease in listeners have been discussed several times these past few years since the change to 24hits in 2020 and it always happened every time when top songs barely reach 300k UL in anytime of the year. I know fans are probably frustrated but I don’t think there is any ill intentions on posts, maybe wrong timing but this isn’t something that should be dragged on for pages. Let it end and enjoy our new #1 Melon reign and discuss the next topic.

Maybe the song should rise to at least Top 10 or Top 20 first before you can clearly call it a viral, chart-climbing song like Sneakers…I don’t know how much more it will rise though, this is currently their third week of promotions and they are still at #60 with 75k UL (fyi, Sneakers at the same timeframe was #12 in their 3rd week with 200k UL).

I could be proven wrong though so it still has potential to reach Top 10…But this will probably be a pattern for ITZY from now on —> Debuting with a poor number —> Need to do a lot of promotion/SNS/challenges —> If it can go viral, it climbs the chart (Sneakers). If it’s not, it fails miserably (Cheshire). Expecting a top chart debut is maybe not for ITZY anymore.

I knew it was going to climb the song is catchy and the girls look great.

It’s a peak hour. There is no climbing with that one.

Wait for few days (or at least in 2nd week) to fully judge how well the song will do. Yes, it could climb back up like Sneakers or continue dropping like Cheshire.

JK needs to surpass Parc Jaejung “Let’s say goodbye” first. That song really rises a lot these past weeks and the rising becomes scarier and scarier and not slowing down at all. It may pull a big surprise to reach #1 if new release songs fail to get #1 while it surpasses Super Shy.
