Absolute Bop. The album is also amazing!

Is Treasure popular in China?

She said "Blackpink is in your area now"

Quote from Blue2012

An agreement in principle isn't "renewing early". It's a preamble to a contract.

This is something that has come through in the financial world in Korea talking.

It's a safe bet to assume. Major contract negotiations typically have an agreement in principle.

So do you have an actual source or not?

Quote from Slayurfaves

this is the source that reported of Sakura signing with hybe when no other outlet knew so at least is more reliable that that article saying that they were gonna transfer to the blacklable lol which came from some questionable reporter

The OP is claiming they signed something in January without providing sources. That's what I'm talking about.

Quote from ThePhantomThief

In taht case, isn't HardcoreBlink also making things up about the motivations for the article, the members thoughts etc?

Yeah and why would I care what HardcoreBlink says?

Quote from Blue2012

Already signed.

As I stated. They most likely signed an agreement in principle. A contract to agree to sign the contract. Legally binding.

Based on my sources, they signed it in January.

If you don't have an actual source for this, you're just making stuff up.

YGE would've released an article if they renewed early, there's literally no reason to delay an announcement.

Quote from Blue2012

The initial production is, but when that stock is sold out, another production (the technical term is repress) will be made and the artists gets like 60-70% of those sales. Or technically 60-70% of the profit.

Although, I think in YG it's closer to 90% the artist gets.

For example if YG initially orders 750k albums produced for sale and that gets sold out, they have to order another batch of albums to be made and the artist gets a bigger cut of that.

Do you have a source for these numbers?

Yeah. I usually like to hear the music first before I care to learn more about the group.

Plus at this point it's like I get it, they are talented, but that won't matter to me if the music doesn't hit.

Just my opinion though.

Being on TTH is a big deal, but being on TTH, having great playlist reach and having it for a long time is an even bigger deal

Either way, NJ does have more playlist reach than BTS and BP. I don't remember the exact statistics but NJ has a few more than a 100m, so does BTS but less and BP has less than 100m(99).

But where the inequality really shows up is the playlist reach for individual songs. BP literally had like 40m-50m for pv/shut down

BTS for Butter/My uni(I think not sure if it was my uni, butter for sure) wasn't too far from that.

Also, a huge factor in playlist reach is followers and small playlists by casual fans don't have a lot of dedicated listeners.

Basically what I'm trying to say is they really need to start promoting. In truth BTS/BP should've been put on those playlists a long time ago, not just recently.

Also, they aren't put in those playlists for long, most artists stay on there for a long time.

I mean, being barely in the 100m region and not being in it being the standards for the biggest songs by the biggest groups rn is really sad. They deserve a lot better promotion.

Pink Venom at its peak had 168 million playlist reach. Shut down peaked at 136 million. You can check on a website called SongStats if you want.

Of course BP is a lot lower now because it's been 6 months. Comparing BP's current playlist reach to OMG that was just added to TTH makes no sense.

I think Gasoline MV fit its grander than life lyrics but the somber vibe of Killer Mv matches its lyrics

True! I didn't think about it like that

Key never disappoints! Gasoline has a more interesting MV in my opinion, but Killer is an amazing song, that chorus is already stuck in my head. I'd say Bad Love is my favorite overall, but I can't decide between Gasoline and Killer.

I just went to that website and it works?

Who do you think should be nominated instead?

I really like their discography... their last album especially was top notch, I'm really looking forward for this one!

Congrats TXT!

Quote from sheryllee3

weird cuz gaon updates all the other YG acts gain except Lisa

Gaon only shows the first 100 albums. There probably wasn't enough to make the cut off. If she's in the Top 100 for March, you'll be able to calculate how much was shipped in February based on the difference.

Also as far as my understanding goes, there's virtually no way to manipulate the Gaon Album chart unless they are doing something shady themselves.... OR the distributors are lying, which is probably illegal.

Why charting for longer matters [A post on chart longevity]

Today, I’m presenting one way to distinguish normal hits from the smashes that will go down in chart history: longevity. It’s the ability to chart for a long time, and in some cases, re-chart months or years after falling off the charts that separates the quick burn from the timeless.



Section I
Charting for a year or more (52 weeks) in the top 100 is already impressive enough, but there are hits that can last even longer than that.

Here are idol group songs that meet this standard (organized by…

Spring Day is truly insane!

Is this for Korea and worldwide? Either way, I agree. I think their longevity on charts is something to be noted as well.

Seeing how slow they are with their music output, even despite all their success, I'd say no. But I'd love to be proven wrong.

Huh, Lisa is a performer who should be performing. What's the point of releasing music to barely even perform it? Also, having a collab shouldn't affect promotions for her own solo.

The company is stupid (but that's nothing new) if they aren't going to capitalize Money going viral. But seeing how the promotions already went, I'm not expecting anything.

It's just sad.
