All the groups I bias enough that I know all the members and most of their music :
Bts : Taehyung -> Taehyung, Jungkook, Jhope
Nct : Taeyong / Yuta -> Dream 3Js and Sungchan
X1 : Hyeongjun -> Seungyoun (Woodz)
Txt : Yeonjun -> Yeonjun (ult), Taehyun (bias)
Enhypen : Sunghoon -> Niki, Sunghoon (, Jay ?)
Straykids : Hyunjin -> Leeknow
A.C.E : Donghun -> Yuchan
With how quickly the yt views are moving, isn't it probable that we'll have more than 20M for the first 24h ?
I don’t believe even he did it within hours of the cb dropping.
True, this is REALLY fast, 4.5 hours is such a small amount of time to get so many firsts. I don't know what the end result will be (and I'd rather not guess to set my expectations too high) but this is amazing !
That’s INSANE

Isn't that what Kai did ? It's definitely Exo as a group's personal record by far.
Someone needs to download the melon app. I can’t since I have iOS. If you have android you can download the apk and see the numbers. I think you don’t need an account to see numbers.
I sadly don’t see updates on Twitter yet.
Usually I check on twitter, but I haven't found a chart account with this info yet. I'll see if I can download the app (my phone is a Samsung) but I often struggle with them. We should at least get the update after the first 24h (maybe ?).

Doing great !
How do we check ULs ? I'm not savvy with korean charts.
It's true that any huge achievements from 3 years ago can't compare to anything groups are doing nowadays.
From my memory, Korean charts weren't exactly Exo's weak point (they didn't have one), but Exo used to be at the top in terms of selling power. In Charts they did great with a huge fandom to stream, but (apart from their winter releases or other exceptions) they usually fell off after a while. They wouldn't top digitals for korean artists the way they did physicals, which is why I said it wasn't their strong point.
Display MoreWe have nothing to compare it against since this is EXO’s first comeback after chart reform.
In the new system we need to wait before we see how songs stabilize on the charts. For example how OMG Vs Dream ended up doing.
For now we have topped genie real time. And entered flo. I expect we will enter Melon next hour. Hopefully.
But yeah without a promo period I don’t have much expectations from the Korean charts.
I'm already surprised at their achievements this time.
I know Charts were never Exo's strong point, and with some members in the military and next to nothing for group promos for over a year and a half (where did all the new fans come from ? Did the solo activities and superm help bring in new fans ?) it's surprising they're doing so well.
Let's wait to see for the Charts, it will indeed be hard with nothing to promote the cb. The only way is if people actually check out the song and like it (which they would if they do listen to it, it's great).
Sorry if I ramble while describing my thoughts on each track, I'm very emotional over getting new Exo music.
Don't Fight the Feeling : I'll listen to it again later (already watched the Mv twice) but suffice to say I'm in love !
Paradise : Starts slow and atmospheric. The beat started and it's accentuated by the vocals. Wow, having Kyungsoo and Xiumin on the track feels surreal. They really flex the vocals. Such a chill song. Wait, the english section, I just realized. What are they saying ??? I'll look up the lyrics later. The ending Thank you made me laugh. I love it !
No matter : Same vibe as Paradise, very chill and light. I just enjoy Exo's vocals so much, I didn't realize I missed new music from them so much. I can totally tell there's conducting line to this album. It's really smooth. LAY ????? OMG !!!!! Wow, they went all out with the backing vocals, the runs and all. It's just so different to hear them, they have that exo quality and harmonization, even when some members are missing.
Runaway : Aaaahhh, there needs to be a track like this on an Exo album. (I swear I can't believe I'm hearing Lay on this album, am I hallucinating ???). No but this song is so good, help !!! I'll close my eyes a little to really feel it.
That's my favorite right here, it's done.
Just as usual : Ballad ? Or not ? Haha really chill, I can imagine Chanyeol playing the guitar for the accoustic version. I guess we'll have to wait until he comes back from the military (why am I making myself sad urgh). Oh, electric guitar ? Amazing finish for this album.
It all sounds really cohesive, I can just listen to the whole album from beginning to end.
The song and Mv are amazing, it's fun, it's very Exo, and it just feels good to listen to. But really, it's such an Exo sound, I can't explain !
I'm crying, I truly thought Lay wouldn't be in the cb / mv but he's here, he even sings and dance (so it's not a simple cameo). I haven't yet listened to the album (will do it after I process DFTF) but it's already more than I ever hoped for 
It's so good to hear Kyungsoo and Minseok's vocals again, it's been so long since they were last on an Exo tt. When the song started with DO's smooth voice I DIED !
Let's go album listen.
Aaaaahhhh SO CLOSE !!!!!!
Congratulations to all the groups !!! Amazing performances for the Finale, and all the songs are amazing (the Kd album has been on repeat for a week).
I'm sooo happy for Stray Kids, and I'm also glad that Tbz got such a great ending to their Kingdom journey. Ateez gave amazing performances and ended up 3rd. Btob gained many new fans / regained old fans, they were the light of the show. Ikon got a new beginning as a group and many newer kpop fans got to know them and join their fandom.
Sf9 may have ended up last, but they gave iconic performances. They may have had the smallest fandom going into Kd, but with their participation many discovered them, and I saw many new fantasies. Same as the other groups who didn't win, in a way they still won because they performed well and gained new fans, and that's what really matters.
Such an amazing final stage for Tbz' journey through rtk and kd.
I'm so happy they ended up second and did so well on the Charts, it ended in such a positive way. Now that all of this is over, Tbz have really grown as performers and their fanbase has gotten huge. At this point there's no denying they are one of the leading groups of the 4th gen.
Everything about the 0x1 performance is perfect : the song (of course), the choreo, the outfits, the stage presence !!! I really want a dance practice to see everything clearly.
I'm slightly obsessed with Yeonjun is this performance though, he's so charismatic on stage and I need him to wear this outfit at least once more during promotions. Taehyun has really learned the raspy rock sound, he's perfecting his vocals and getting more versatile each comeback.
No rules is also amazing, such a fun choreo and they're very obviously enjoying it. Don't know if I'm being biased, but Yeonjun's dancing is super eye-catching. Plus Soobin in the center for that hip and hand/finger movment, I love that part.
Can I just say, Beomgyu with his long hair and Hyuka with his platinum blond hair have never looked so good, it's their best styling to date !
My heart hurts, I wanted Frost so badly
Frost is the track linked to the Album's name, so it's theit TU track. It'll get an Mv for sure.
Anti romantic is amazing, it's a great addition to Txt's First tracks. I can't wait for it to have an mv or a performance. 10/10
Hearing 0x1 a second time and it's even better than the first time (and I loved it from the first listen). 11/10
I like Magic much better than I thought I would from the teasers. The vibes are great and I'll probably bop to it for the foreseeable future. 9/10
Ice Cream is quite repetitive, but it's a feel good song and quite playful. 7.5/10
Puma 2.0 is such a tiktok song haha. Funnily enough the autotune doesn't throw me off like it did in the teasers. It's just really fun. 8.5/10
Wow, No rules is such a bop, I really like it. The teasers hid well many many great parts of this track, I can't wait to see what will be done with this (Mv ? Dance ?). 9.5/10
Dear Sputnik was my favorite from the teasers and I'm not disappointed. It's all I wanted and more. 10/10
Frost is the track with the title linked to the album, meaning it'll definitely get a TU Mv. It's a great track and a bit of an earworm, there's a possibility this will become my most listened track of this album. 10/10
What an experience ! I can't tell yet if it's my fave txt album, but most of the tracks feel iconic and this era is very promising.
I don't want to miss anything so close to comeback.
