Because Eve isn't still gaining ULs, it's just dropping slightly slower than songs around it, and it's not dropping anywhere slow enough that I AM has to worry about Eve outpacing it.
Could Eve outpace I AM? Sure, it's theoretically possible, but going off of how things are trending right now, it's not going to
we'll see, I think it will change dramatically next week.
Forever young highest weekly is #3 and monthly is #5
Well the gap with Spicy was high too and they closed it within a week so why not. Thing is songs are dropping on ULs while Eve is increasing
And then you have Le Sserafim doing the opposite
Iz*one keep winning, I'm so proud
Unforgiven is a more of toned down in many ways, Korean general public friendly song, which is why Source most likely went with that as the title track, as the low risk option.
Basically, in Korea, cute + easy listening = hit song
Eve is a song more suited to the West, and a sign of what they will move towards in the future. The Western market is so huge, that if you can do well in any niche, you hit the jackpot. It doesn't appeal to a wider Korean audience as Unforgiven, but if you enjoy this type of music, you would say it is a great song.
I would say Le Sserafim is changing the game and also changing Korean gp's taste. As you said it would be a risky move if they made Eve as tt and there's chance that they won't chart as high as Unforgiven but look at the situation, they will likely be taking it. Antifragile and Eve are special cases, these songs are not what kind of songs Korean people would expect to be in Kpop but LSR did un exceptional job on these two and made it popular among the gp. I am really impressed with what they've done so far, they took the hard path and it's paying off.

Jesus, look at Bluebeard's UL numbers, there was a 60k gap with Kitsch before the weekend, now it's 25k. Is it going viral again? The only thing i can think of that happened recently was the Weverse performance.
The tiktok number is going really fast and gonna catch Unforgiven number soon, there is also a speed up version that is pulling good number recently. I have no doubt this song will kick Unforgiven's ass and some of other tts
I didn't even check line distribution, i heard the song thrice and that was more than enough for me. Some people say that it resemble antifragile, HOW???
Epbw has always been a bop, my fave song on the album. The rest are meh, i don't play them. I'm dissatisfied with the mini (yes, it's a mini)
Edit: grammar, my autocorrect has gone mad
Yeah I was kinda expected too much from their trailer but the way they spoiled everything kinda turn me off a bit and the line distribution for sakura was hell and the EVE song is clearing it anyday, should've been title track imho (don't get me wrong I still like it better than some other ggs's tts, it was just not hit like Antifragile and Eve)
It happened with OMG for me too, also aespa Next Level. Impurities have always been a BOP
I also think bluebeard is a meh song, not bad, but the performance is quickly making it a fave for me lol.
No I get it from the first listen, more than Unforgiven to be honest (Maybe I was so mad that sakura didn't have lines on that song so I hated it for awhile lmaooo)
I just checked and they peaked 8 on melon? damnnn. Do you think this song has potential to outpeak Unforgiven?
What are you talking about?! First, Hybe doesnt use ads, it is known fact. Second, why would ads be used on a performance video and not the actual MV?? Which wouldnt count for chart..
The perf videos have less likes, i would guess because they are streamed by non fans or people who want to learn the dances and/or fans dont care about liking a performance video. So it is not correct to solely based on MVs and likes only. Mind you, hype boy music audio is 173mil on YT, Attention 130mil, OMG 115mil. Even cookie 71mil
I got ads from their hype boy performance video so don't say that
Fealress sold more than Eleven, Antifragile sold more than Love Dive and Unforgiven is going sell more than total of After Like so no (of course I don't talk about total since it's kind unfair to compare)
just want to point out, NewJeans is totally not weak at Youtube. Cant solely based on the MVs because they release multiple MVs which split views. Their performance videos have much more views than MVs (Hype Boy and OMG >100mil views)
I know but their likes are only 1.2M for more than 100M views so yeah it's also from ads
I'm tired of people downplaying LSF in this forum.
Let me make this clear: LRS didn't have a single flop. All their title tracks are still charting top 100 daily on Melon, their longevity in insane. Fearless is not a mega hit but it's outcharting multiple mega hits released around that time or even later hits showing their interesting in SK is really big. They have big youtube support, good enough spotify stream (with Antifragile is doing wonder just behind NJ and Unforgiven is showing good number too), Apple music is their lane without competition, physical is only behind Aespa now. So with current releases here are the current ranking:
1. Youtube: LSR >> IVE > GIDLE > AESPA > NJS (don't look at the views, look at the likes)
2. Spotify: NJS >>> LSR > IVE >>> GIDLE >>>> AESPA (Aespa is so weak in spotify, can call them flop here)
3. Apple music: LSR > NJ >> IVE >>> AESPA >> GIDLE
3. Physical: AESPA > LSR > IVE > GIDLE = NJS
4. SK chart: IVE = NJS >>> LSR > AESPA = GIDLE
So why would you put LSF last just because they didn't have PAKs?
Tbh if both Antifragile and Unforgiven release at some other times, they would easily get PAKs
They're growing and reaching new high every comeback. Congratz, the girlies deserve it after everything, Unforgiven is that song!
