A monster hit.

Any number about its download sales in Japan?

Quote from Artemosia

Queendom on Melon already lost 20% compared to its UL peak at the end of its 24th hour, promotion mode needs to start asap

When is the promotion?

Quote from atropos

If queendom's uls don't stablise it'll drop out of melon top10 daily. It's bleeding uls continuously.

I think the promotion may keep it floating in top 20. Top 10 maybe for initial peak. It remains me of Monster Last year by them, peaked high but fall hard.

Quote from nevermindmejin

Ohh that’s so sweet of you

I am. I do expect high for them a lot. But getting other members from a popular group for their new GG is disappointed

Quote from nevermindmejin

This kind of mindset is really why girl idols have such short shelf life. You mean idols can’t be in new groups or label because they debuted elsewhere before? That’s really cruel and very backward thinking. Fans kept saying they want new faces, that’s why many GGs will disband after the end of their contracts

Well it’s only happen with small company. We are talking about HYBE , I do expect them debut an original group when have serval members from a POPULAR DISBAND group. I am quite concerned HYBE ability to create GG

Quote from Anpanromane

nope it's not that bad, not that great either.

TXT is a 4th gen bg, by definition digitals are not too good but they have the best of them along with the boyz.

Now CIX fans surpassed them for an hour on the most volatile chart and suddenly they are failing lol. Again I expected a bit more but it's ok, don't fall for the bait our lovely OP made

But CIX and TXT debuted in the same year. I mean TXT should have been in No.1 bugs for hours now. It is not a good sight. Also CIX song still rank higher than TXT up to this point

Is it that bad? What happened to TXT?

That’s a lot. SKD really leader of gen 4

Quote from lonelymoon

You don't remember well because there was no photo teaser, the teasers were for Butter CD. Several b-sides have been promoted in american tv show, for instance Make it right.

So how you explain LTD got the streaming party from the company while LGO, as a title, does not receive the same treatment. It’s a single, it’s promotion is big, but not as the same level as Dynamite/ Butter

Quote from paradis

How are you comparing 2 songs from different albums? To determine whether a song is the main promoted single or not you have to compare it to other songs in the same album. Between Butter and PTD, it is very evident what is the main single and what is a b side.

But the level of promotion clearly explains the label’s intention. PTD got this huge promotion, only after Dynamite/ Butter , is quite unfair to label it as a b-side. PTD performance will be similar to LGO , Butter is no where to compete with Dynamite but Dynamite itself is exceptional.

Quote from paradis

How is it in any way on par with Butter? Just cause a b side is getting some promo does not make it a title track when you have another song getting very evident significant more push. If it had gotten radio I would have agreed, but naah, it clearly is not and was not the focus.

As far as I can tell, PTD got more promotion than LGO. PTD still inside Spotify today top hits after more than a month, LGO already left the playlist at the same period. LGO did not have a streaming party from label, PTD has. Bighit also provided an instrument version for fan to buy while LGO did not have. LGO is a title but got less promotion than PTD. PTD is definitely a big release , a title level than B-side.

Quote from keaji

Whoah, I can not even imagine, I was already shocked with half a million!
I knew this is going to be their moment and that they will keep rising steadily, but it still seems like I'm unprepared for it all!

It feels like I'm a fan of a big group now? :D

The Mnet show ready has some magic

Quote from paradis

Still a b side to the main release Butter, unless you think it is on par with Butter in terms of promotion and focus? So why expect both songs to have the same performance?

Even the cover on Melon was of Butter thereby confusing listeners if it was anew song or not. Even led to KArmys complaining to Hybe as listeners would not even know that it was a new song.

But PTD got streaming party from label, included in Spotify and AM playlist and also Bighit online store also selling the song to push sale. With all these efforts, I think it is a titled than B-side.

About the PTD performance, I think it’s doing all right. Butter performance is on track to become BTS longest stay in top 10 Melon. Dynamite is very exceptional , it does not represent how BTS actually perform on Meon

Quote from lonelymoon

2. A rookie GG, Aespa, is the Group in 2021 who release the more soty material songs among Idol groups

I don't really understand why some people always insist on Aespa being rookies to say Next Level's charting was totally unexpected. Did people forgot that Itzy's debut song was the second most successful idol group song released in 2019, that BP got PAKs with Whistle and that Playing with Fire was a hit in Korea? Cheer up was also Twice's second title track and yet their biggest hit in Korea. I don't see why the fact Aespa are still rookies is supposed to make Next Level's performance more impressive.

3. Somi out of nowhere is performing better than other well establish soloist like Chungha, Sunmi etc...

Chungha has not been performing well for several releases. And Somi is not coming out of nowhere, her previous songs also charted on Melon even if not as high.

4. the collab that a lot of people dreamof for years, Akmu x IU, 2 good artist in chart usually isn't performing as well than everybody would have suppose

Akmu's previous song did not chart well so I think there was some doubts about how that song would be performing but it's doing well.

6. BTS latest song isn't doing as well than their previous release, being block by other "smaller artist" compare to them like Mujin, Taeyeon , aespa etc....

LOL

Apparently you are talking about PTD but it's not even a title track, nobody was expecting it to perform better than Butter. We did not even know if the song would have a MV or not until like a week before it was released. It's currently charting higher on Melon than Taeyeon's song by the way (a "smaller artist" as you said who has already released big hits like Four seasons but let's call her a nugu to downplay PTD's performance).

8. Gfriend disbanding when no one thought they would

It was their last year of contract, there was no news of renewal but yeah absolutely everyone was sure they would not disband. Gfriend's disbanding felt sudden and was clearly not handled well but saying nobody was expecting them to disband is really surprising. I was really wishing for them to continue as a group but was worried to not hear news about their renewal or about a new comback so even if it saddened me a lot, I was not that surprised.

I guess disagreeing with OP will mean I attack them according to some people.

Butter/PTD is a double title track album. PTD got a MV, streaming party from label, Bighit store open for fan to buy to push sale, included in Spotify playlists like today top hits and also got promotion on various shows. It is more like a title than a b-side tbh.

Quote from leavessick

This is the year of ggs and soloist in South Korea again. It’s impossible to expect an artist to have a hit with every release and Butter is doing really good locally and internationally, if we use Dynamite as a standard of success then any song release this year in SK is performing well lmao.

Dynamite is the most successful song in Melon history. It has record for most week no.1, most hours no1, most week top 5, top 10, most months no.1 and most month in top 10. Dynamite is exceptional. Butter is a more of normal BTS songs performance on Melon

Quote from worldlove27

BTS has 2 songs stable in the top 10 currently, they're doing just fine. Butter is going to be their second longest charting song in the top 10 of melon weekly only behind the powerhouse that is Dynamite. Butter is also likely going to enter the top 10 gaon year end chart with the upcoming gaon update. PTD is also only up against Nakka by AKMU and IU for July SOTY.

This is all while Dynamite is starting to chart above some of the biggest 2021 releases (its #15 on melon daily after a whole year).

On top of that it is massive hit internationally climbing to the #3 for the most streamed song by k-acts on spotify in only 3 months (again only behind BWL and Dynamite). And also all 3 (PTD, Butter and Dynamite) are big hits in Japan, occuping the entire top 3 of spotify japan for a long while.

Dynamite performance on Melon was too good and abnormal so people may confuse about how BTS tracks performs in Melon. Apart from Dynamite, BTS songs performed ok in Melon top 10, their second highest week is only 12. If Butter can hit 15 weeks in top 10, this is already successful for BTS.

Wow, that’s quick

Seem great

Ohayo my night is in top 10 Melon now.

Stay and Dumb Dumb are in top 20.

Both 3 songs keep rising . expect those songs to rise to new peak in top 10.

That depends on the company. For over a year now, Bighit keeps finding Western composers and producers for their big release. Ed is a safe bet at least so I don’t see why it is a negative thing. I don’t think Bighit wants to release a in-house production for BTS big release anymore, it is too risky.
