If a song that is 8 months old can win on a music show, it is effectively an empty house at the moment.
This is totally different from EXID or Brave Girls, where a song came out of nowhere due to it going viral.
It is not empty house. It is Hype Boy OUTDOING all new releases except for their own 2 songs OMG and DITTO which have been retired from inkigayo after wining 3 trophies.
actually im just curious
Back in their early days where they wasnt that popular, Jimin was pretty good and was claimed to be the main vocalist.
What happened actually? I think now Jungkok is more stable. Even V is more stable (Jhope has alwasy been good too)
at this point, i just want her to surpass Jimin to see the meltdown only 🤭
Im 100% sure Jimin has the bigger fanbase + spotify will do much better.
These are literally the only noteworthy outliers (also include Mamamoo's Dingga > Aya)
You have much more instances where title track performed better. E.g. mamamoo has most of the time do prerelease but only Dingga performed better than Aya. Ahh oop, i miss you, taller than you, new york, paint me didnt do better than their counterpart title tracks.
with all that being true, do you think that a pre-release is more likely, or less likely, to perform better than the TT
I honestly think whether pre-release does well, depend on which group and company
For all these while, YG had been treating pre-release as LEAD SINGLE (in english pop). They usually release the strongest song as pre-release/1st single. It was YG alternative to double-title track which they also had been doing a lot in the past during 2ne1, bigbang era + BP 1st 2 era
For other companies, pre-release is usually seen in the context of promo track. Groups that come to my mind are aespa, mamamoo, even Twice (Moonlight sunrise was definitely not aiming to outdoing Set Me Free). Same as NMIXX's Young Dumb Stupid.
But i have the feeling that more companies are trying to put more weightage to prerelease nowadays after seeing more groups excel with them (especially BP, BTS and NJ)
definitely lack of promo
Kitsch wasnt heavily hyped honestly
for those people who pretend that BP wasnt big from the debut, you clearly wasnt following kpop back then
Blackpink was the only GG hitting PAK with debut song and was the fastest newbie to get a music show win (until someone broke the record).
But i do agree that as you become more popular, u attract more hate. Believe me, next NewJeans comeback, there will be more slanders on how bad their new songs are, how repetitive they are because of the other fanbse insecurity
did Twice able to dominate top3 for 2 months? I think NewJeans is much bigger than any GG ever debut at the same point of time (including BP)
Keyword: at comparable point of their career
??? Ive is releasing new music in 10 minutes
spotify stream is similarly can be manipulated like Youtube views
People nowadays are just discrediting youtube views to fit their narrative. I still see popular 4th gens pulling great numbers of views on Youtube which is quite consistent with the popularity of their songs (e.g. Love Dive, After Like, Antifragile).
Newjeans is just heavily distorted due to their way of releasing multiple MVs +performance videos close to 1 another
their most impressive record gonna be Hype boy and maybe called the most popular song without a single win lol
Hype boy is aiming for a win on this week inkigayo. If fans focus more on hype boy, it will win against OMG
The comparison btw BTS and BAP had always been about the concept. BAP were doing much better in their initial days but we all know TS screw them up.
One shot and 1004 were about to catapulate them into tier 1.5 but yea ...
Starship paying them both dust.
Gaeul's line went viral because of herself. Liz literally had the similar line in 1st pre-chorus but that part didnt go viral.
Liz really need to get some chorus lines and Gauel need some center parts
