if they pull it off that’ll be nj’s most highly celebrated achievement in their legacy for years to come in the public consciousness as it should
i personally think them putting a Cocacola promo song at #4 is already an impressivw feat + Hype Boy winning music show after 8 month and longest top10 hit
-
not arguing the main point of the title
But people here really think of a bside is not promoted it means it's a filler?
Hmmm intresting
Definitely NOT the case but unpromoted = less people notice it except fans / casual followers. Promoting B side is giving exposure to the song to let it live to its (max) potential.

That's the key, the abnormal level of popularity is what guarantee NJs stages releases to get so much traction. Do you see the same impact for Nmixx and Itzy pre releases? Because I really don't
It's as if NJ is in a loop of popularity, where their humongous popularity make people to immediately listen to them, and doing so they start spamming their music and making other people listen to them which creates further anticipation for the next releases
This do not imply other groups don't release quality music, but it means they don't come close to NJ hype and buzz
Cause NewJeans are the IT group now. We all know how fickle and trend-chasing koreans are. When the group is top and trendy, everything they put out will be hit regardless.
Classic example - the trendy sexy GGs during 2.5 gen - AOA Girls Day and EXID. Recent example - aespa after hit big with Next Level. Dream comes true top 10 despite being a remake. Savage PAK - not the type of songs koreans usually listen to. Got the beat (include 2 aespa members) Step Back top 5

That would be hilarious.. a 30 sec interlude in top 10 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yup, LSRF side tracks had great traction, as they should. Blue Fame, Sour Grapes and of course Eve Psyche which is on track to become one of their biggest hits by far
G Idle also have good traction with some of their songs, they always did for years now. In reality they were the first girlgroup in 4th gen to even chart well with a B side on Melon, with My Bag more than one year ago. Aespa and NewJeans followed suit
I disagree with Ive, their bsides numbers are mediocre but I digress
However none of them are on NJ levels, specially internationally
GIDLE actually did with Hann (alone in winter) first during HWAA era but the Soojin scandal killed their momentum.
I agree, none of them are on NewJeans level internationally. NewJeans is otw to be Blackpink level for spotify, that's for sure. But domesticlly, the top 4th gen GGs kinda have the GP attention for their B sides too

IVE actually charted Blue Blood and Lips so it isnt too bad. IVE didnt promote any of the B sides except a special video for Not Your Girl (which i speculate that it was supposed to be a follow up promo song but Rei condition halted that plan. Note that NOT YOUR GIRL is the only song in uppercase alongside I AM on tracklist).
Plus they already have Kitsch + I Am slaying on top10 so no point promoting another b side. LE SSERAFIM had to do that because their didnt do any pre release unlike Gidle, newjeans, IVE
In aespa case, the B sides are already charting well before promotion starts. So it is kinda obvious that GP has interest in aespa album (same with illusion that charted better than Girls)

i think people are floored because this group is a year old and doubling numbers every release
and also there's this weird perception among tokkis that we have lots of GP support but a small core fandom with weaker physicals. that's maybe not the case anymore

This simply means the fandom conversion rate is HIGH for NewJeans
This is also evidenced by how much NewJeans (debut EP) continuously sold in last months. The same was observed for Blackpink too. Their first few albums continued to sell a lot,overtaking those albums that initially sold more in respective years
-
my bet on ETA
I think it is the most catchy and fun
Cool with you might have good longevity but not peak the highest. Not sure whether this song hit the spot for koreans.
-
:0 COOL WITH YOU?! Where is she!!!
Not a big fan of the mellow/sentimental type of songs sorry 🙏🏻 i mean i can listen to such songs but they are not my top title track picks
-
What the actual eff this is insane omg??? Predictions for their sales in that one thread turned out to be way too modest at this rate lol
6 beach bag ver + 2 powerpuff ver + 3 weverse ver.
I think quite making sense for 1.7mil
Aespa similarly pulled 2mil+ with 4+1+4+2 versions (excluding US versions and deluxe box vers)

Everybody listen to their whole EP
When it comes to girlgroups people listen to title tracks and barely
But NJ is amazing enough to make people listen all their songs
You are free to have your "opinions"
But you can't dispute this level of recognition is very uncommon in kpop
As much as i love their album, this take is so weird
Please dont act like groups like IVE, blackpink, aespa and lesserafim didnt have hit B sides... even GIDLE.

i prefer meb in short hair cause they are neat.
-
have you seen the album designs? there's so much more than just PCs
Yes definitely. Newjeans album are very well thought out hence the sales are justified. The beach bags for this album and the bags for debut album are pretty
By the way, their sales is really sales (i meant that likely not bulk buying) because you dont need to buy a lot of copies to get random photocards. Also, they dont do a lot of fansign events like NMIXX Lesserafim IVE etc. So their physical sales is nothing but impressive
-
every song gets some sort of MV. Mostly full song MVs , but some songs can be truncated
Beyoncé started the trend as far as the mainstream goes 10 years
So is this what NewJeans is doing now?
-
if they had random photocards within the album package they would sell 3M i fearrr
I think them being generous with photocards (5 per album) is what make them sell a lot..
Edit: and 10 for weverse albums. For comparison, Lesserafim only have 2 pc for antifragile and 5 for unforgiven
