That's fine. I'm usually the same, but I'm trying to be optimistic. I thought the same as well until I saw that it was their second fastest to reach 50mil. The context makes it much better.
ah yes how can i forget about spotify! minisode1:Blue Hour is doing so good. In addition to that their monthly listeners have been stable at 3.18M 3 months after album. Personally i dont think its streaming because Moas dont really focus on spotify (Except for when we were near 500M or cysm would have had better streams like on melon) but casual listeners (their discography is GOLD ) and growth of fandom. For Force, Its doing great in japan (surpassed Runaway's #1 line chart record already) and I just hope that Still Dreaming be more successful than Magic hour wrt Sales and charting (about which i already am pretty sure)
Honestly tho, the day moas master streaming and voting is the day we're unstoppable :D We have a tendency to be lazy on both until called to do so. I do think TXT has had immense growth last year overall. I think they jumped over 1mil followers in Spotify last year alone. That, together with surpassing debut monthly listener numbers, speaks of tons of growth.
I'm not so sure on how to predict Still Dreaming sales since it's an album this time compared to Magic Hour and Drama's singles. In Japan, singles usually sell better than albums, but it's not always the case for Kpop artists. I hope Force continues to be stable in Line. That said, I do wish they added a bit more original songs to Still Dreaming instead of Jp vers of old songs or repackaging of the single album songs only. There's an intro and an outro (?) i believe, but I heard that it's only instrumental? I'm still anticipating tho!!
