The charts have changed in the fact that Melon’s user base has shrunk, a new exploit, and Armys in Korea are moving to other boy groups.
Melon has a lower userbase now so real-time is more impactful to raise songs. It is also the winter time so there are people streaming less. YT music has taken over and with K-pop’s focus on MVs, they have benefited from this even more.
There is now an exploit which is allowing newer songs to chart higher. If your songs are #1 on the latest hit 1 week and 4 week charts, your song gets prioritized. Boy groups figured it out through Candy’s success and are replicating it to various degrees. They ignore other charts such as Bugs and Genie because of their rule changes and low appeal and aim fully at Melon as the Melon chart is still used in cafes where the GP will listen. Look at TXT’s charting and how lopsided it is. It is a win win for Melon to hold users and for boy groups to increase their ULS. Only groups with big fanbases can do this, so don’t expect Treasure, Ateez, and Enhypen to pull this off. Only groups that can even touch the Top 100 can do this.
Lastly it is Armies moving to other fanbases. Let’s be honest, isn’t it a coincidence that this is happening after BTS’ hiatus. BTS was taking many boy group fans away from other groups, and now that they are not here, they are moving to other groups.
If the ULs are low it should also help the GG OP mentioned to chart.

it may hurt but it's true. They've been known to cave to social media pressure.
When? Can you give some examples?

I think SM is rather successful with Dream. And I believe 127 is doing okay. If compared to them to BTS, SM could be disappointed but BTS is an anomaly.
Also, I don’t have anything against Exo, I actually like some of their songs but I don’t think they had a future outside Asia. I don’t see groups with a lot of numbers being huge outside Asia. I believe SVT will have the same problem. And with Aespa and 127 it looks like SM wanted to expand outside Asia.

I don’t think album sales are that interesting. Stray Kids will most likely do it too.

I’m just finished listening to the whole album. It’s a no skip. Very easy to listen.

I’m happy for them because they truly have good songs.

impressive how fast they were able to get the solo songs and like Spring day up the charts
Now if only they would show this love for the member’s solos works!

People need to realise that streaming is as bad for the planet. Data centers are bad for the environment. We posting on this forum is also bad for the environment.

This thread needs to be pinned.

I don’t think so. I believe they will keep selling a ton of albums because of Karina’s popularity in China but that’s it.
