MHJ is single-handedly responsible for making k-pop a more legitimate genre. NJ brought in so many people that otherwise wouldn't touch k-pop with a ten foot pole. NJ isn't just successful, they're critically acclaimed. The only group or act with a legit shot at bringing k-pop it's first grammy
Egomaniac Bang knows non of his groups will ever sniff NJ's popularity or acclaim and is trying to knock em down. The sabotage is clear as day
Fuck him!
they are bad at promo, normani and tinashe are perfect example of it
sza complain about them before too
RCA invested plenty on Normani and Tinashe. They just never caught on
SZA's problems are with her manager/team not RCA
RCA treats it's big artists well. SZA and Doja Cat are a great examples of this. They get great playlisting, radio deals and performances at big events like the grammys etc
ILLIT might legit enter the HOT 100 this week
They were close last week despite half the chart being taken up by album bombs
Should've gone to Columbia. Their radio payola is 2nd to none
Because the majority of Spotify users are passive listeners who put on a playlist and let it play. It's about exposure more than anything
New Music Friday and TTH are the 2 most important playlists. They turn passive users into fans
NJ only started getting good placements with Super Shy. ADOR wasted no time getting them in the top 10-15 when they debuted with 2m+ and a week later they were doing around 3.5. It also helped 'Get Up' too given it's massive debut
Imagine having a smash like this and not doing the bare minimum and adding it to the biggest playlist for maximum exposure? 
It has more to do with the rise of Youtube Music. It is also funny how MV views are added to Youtube Music numbers but not vice versa
You have to pay for Youtube Music so I doubt it
The culprit is Spotify. They've been aggressively marketing their free option which just so happens to coincide with it's explosive growth
#129 on Apple Music pop. It was in the 170's yesterday
Wasting CB hype on an ad song that won't be available to stream
Weird rollout
That 2016 sound made the Pinks very rich idols, as long as YG stans continue to buy it, YG will continue to sell it.
True. Their SEA fanbase will eat this up, I'm sure
YG is stuck in 2016
Of course, no one cares about YouTube, because suddenly that’s where the band was caught cheating on streaming. By the way, YouTube has 4-5 times more active users in the world than Spotify.
Youtube isn't a music platform. The courts shutting down sites like Limewire were the reason why YT was so big with music in the mid 2010's
As soon as Spotify and other music services took off, views for MV started tanking and never recovered
Doubt it Music never matters.....
We literally saw a group that not even k-pop fans knew existed achieve worldwide success because people loved one of their songs (FIFTY FIFTY)
This type of stuff happens in the West all the time too btw
Outside of entering certain chart placements, the playlisting is still dire
Still mostly just k-pop stuff
Why is ADOR the only sub-label that knows how to play the game? They would've had this on TTH days ago
Magnetic coming for biggest Spotify debut week record too (4th, 5th gen and or all-time
)

Baemon with 7m but never entered global spotify 
Maybe more groups should try being NJ twins. It's clearly working for ILLIT
