I don't really like either, but I remember Melanie mentioning that Black Tinkerbell was her favorite and the only song she felt any attachment to.

NGL, I will never remember that title track name. What a mouthful.

Teaser sounds like it could be okay though.

You can tell they tried to do something interesting with an invisible budget, and the song is catchy. (Funnily enough, I actually like Over U more than their later songs where they clearly found some couch change and could afford something more.)

It's funny how half this thread is people answering the question and half is people just shitting on popular songs they don't like.

Anyway, U-KISS was so good later on, but their debut was a tragedy.

After School was crazy talented. They've done tap dancing, pole dancing, had a drumline routine... They really were amazing performers and it's insane how underappreciated they were.

Hongki has such a lovely vocal tone.

Popped up in YouTube recommendations... I'm not sure I've ever heard their music, but it's pretty chill, I like it.

Change vs I

Bubble Pop vs Fine

Ice Cream vs Why

Red vs 11:11

Roll Deep vs Rain

How This vs Four Season

Babe vs Spark

Lips & Hips vs What Do I Call You

Flower Shower vs Happy

Im Not Cool vs Weekend

Overall : Hyuna vs Taeyeon

I'm feeling a bit mixed on the rap, but I really like the rest of it. And she looks gorgeous; the visuals are on point.

Showed up in YouTube recommendations. I didn't know he'd made a solo debut. _{tbh, I have no idea what he's done since leaving UKISS} He's still a good singer though.

I just listen to the music, so IDC how old the artist is.

If you get into the ... weird side of the kpop fandom, then I get how there could be an ick factor there.

*sigh* In case any Midzy or ONCE clicked on this thread wanting to know the answer:

MAFIA peaked at #9 on the Gaon Streaming Chart (week of 5/9 - 5/15). As of 6/30, it had ~119 million aggregate points (downloads, streams, background music) on the Gaon Digital Chart, peaking at #10. In the west, it peaked at #22 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, and reached 50 million streams on spotify in 62 days.

Alcohol Free is currently at #8 on the Gaon Streaming Chart, which was an increase over last week, so may still climb. As of 6/30, it had ~55 million aggregate points on the Gaon Digital Chart, but appears to still be climbing as that was a new peak at #6. In the west, it's currently at #22 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. It reached 30 million streams on spotify in 26 days, so based on that trend, should pass 50 million in ~43 days.

There are other charts and stuff you could look at -- as some others have referenced above -- but I just kept it to four factors for ease of comparison. TL;DR is that it's too soon to tell how well Alcohol Free may ultimately do, but generally, it's doing a bit better than Mafia, which still did very well for itself.

Genuinely one of the most interesting MVs with a really lovely song.

B1A4 wins across the board for me. The only Teen Top song I really liked was Miss Right, but since it's put up against one of B1A4's best songs, can't vote for it.

B1A4 as a trio is legit too.

It's a fun summer song. I like it!

I like it better than her solo debut song, but I think her B-sides are stronger.

From the choices, I picked Wendy. I also really liked Solar's Spit it Out.

Just picking an assortment of groups I like.

FT Island - Love Love Love

Dreamcatcher - Chase Me

Orange Caramel - My Copycat

EXID - L.I.E.

Stray Kids - Side Effects

Quote from ArmyBlink0

They took part in making what kpop is today and they host some of biggest kpop people. PSY and of course the biggest gg Blackpink so yes, they still are.

Well by that logic, you could say that DSP is still in the Big Three.

For OP's question, I'm not sure either. Certainly there's an argument to be made that it's at least the Big Four these days.
