The Melon chart during 2nd gen was based mostly on downloads, and streaming later added, while most of the 3rd gen era was based on real time streams, uls and downloads (which was later removed). Now, it's only uls but most of the people here blaming the new system as the reason why LSG stays longer and their fave not entering the top 10.
Longevity doesn't need to take 2 to 3 years of charting, what are you talking about? You sound like all you know is BTS
LSG is few days away to tie the all time longevity records on Melon for girlgroups and it will certainly set a new record at this point. LSG is even doing better in longevity game than D4 at the same rate on other charts, not just on Melon. The other charts are dominated by recent releases btw while the "old songs" you are talking about in Melon is not even competing with LSG in the top 10 chart. The current Melon chart, is the real representation of what majority of the users are listening to, no random system generated playlists and very little to no fandom manipulation.
I'm not comparing lsg to sd, both songs are different, i'm just saying that a song can be considered a national hit based on longevity just like sd back then. LSG spending more than 4 months in Melon top 10, joining dynamite as the only 3rd gen group songs to ever achieved that. And BlackPink joining BTS and BigBang as the only kpop groups to ever achieved that feat, BlackPink deserves better credit that t
LSG is not hitting No1 is a big disappointment. Like I said, as the whole MElon chart slow down, and ONLY MELON while Genie still stick to original format and LSG already out of top 10 for a while, it is hard to tell whether it is a national hit or not. The chart situation right now is combined of low uls, low users using, low dynamic of chart due to the chart reform, it is hard to prove anything, I can tell you half of the chart got this national hit already? which is very stupid.
