Up’s peak uls was 330k but I couldn’t find that tweet unfortunately

In terms of longevity Up is also much ahead of Mantra

And Up is already tied with Solo by Jennie by most weeks at top 10 Melon as you can see at the tweet above

Up is still present in top 10 too it’s consistently been switching between top 10/11 this month Karina is the 4th gen it girl for sure

I voted Karina overall Jennie is popular globally but I think Karina is coming into her prime in SK

They were ok but I’m tired of the same songs being covered fx has so many other songs I mean 4walls for 4 members the whole things been underwhelming tbh but I’m looking forward to Smngg reveal later

Don’t believe that twitter account it’s just a fan account the rumor is SM is debuting only 6 members and they’re quite young ……

Poor illit I know it’s not their fault personally but they can’t help but be dragged in as collateral shame on belift tbh everyone with eyes could see what it was from the start so it’s no surprise. I hope 2025 is the year of truth and those watching from the side can also learn there’s no shortcut to success

I remember him he had a lot of hype in big hit im quite surprised SM took him in since they prefer the opposite people with limited public exposure maybe he’s very talented

Honestly I agree KIOF, BM and Illit feel more like a 4.5 Gen than actual 5th Gen

I feel like SM got it right though with 2 2nd gen gg a 4 year gap 1 3rd gen gg 6 years later 1 4th gen gg 5 years later 1 5th gen gg etc they seem to be the only big company staying faithful with K-pop generations which is outdated imo lol

Amazing congrats aespa well deserved

I think the better question is how will Smngg do as being the first sm group ( maybe just girl group) without LSM involvement whatsoever will they still feel like a sm group

Quote from Yama-Chan

If release timings were standardized and adjusted for, Supernova still wouldn't be the top song--APT would. Though I suppose aespa would have the top girl group song at least. I'm surprised they didn't get it with Next Level, but I haven't checked the release timing.

i was also surprised but Rollin/ BG were huge in 2021 and had released much earlier than Next level which I think placed 5th place

I think it is her! She’s super talented in vocals and dancing and rap

I think that’s Jooeun if that is her it’s said she’s most similar to Seulgi from RV in both dancing and singing and will probably be center in majority performances! She also was given her own stage during SM private show last year and impressed a lot of important people

I’m sorry it hardly seems relevant when BP are the biggest gg to come out of Korea lol makes the list even more absurd when Supernova achieved 3rd this year but I guess gidle released Fate 4 months before

Tbh you never know with aespa you think they’ll go left but they go up they’re very unpredictable but I’m excited

3:52 wow something about how Winter sings always sounds like she’s telling a story such a talented person

Most people will be selfish and wish for a pak but a 1 will do for me  

Repeaked at 2

They keep going back and forth from 2-3 Is this wishful thinking or a possibility

Quote from Yama-Chan

Aespa had moderate size hits between Next Level and Supernova. GIDLE was on a PAK streak literally that entire 2-3 year gap. Do you know how hard it is to get four straight PAKs in four different comeback eras? It's literally never been done before.

Keep in mind, I never said aespa couldn't or shouldn't be in the top 3, but it is clear GIDLE could easily be argued to have their spot as well. Unless a group is historically dominant, like NewJeans in 2022/2023 or IVE in 2023, I don't switch up my rankings with just a single year sample size.

How is Gidle Spotify or international streams compared to aespa
