It's a shame, seeing how well this song is performed, it's really the definition of great at the wrong time. queen without a crown. 
2023 = newjeans , expecting even bigger numbers this year 
They must be sad, it's not just digital, even physical albums aren't doing well.
Viral is the only way for them to bounce back good luck itzy 
Display MoreThe gap is significantly wide. They can debate all they want, Perfect Night is still the #1 song and breaking records.
Perfect Night - 1,321,716
Drama - 839,669

perfect night is increasing quite fast on youtube, but on melon they are decreasing, this is like the opposite of what happened 1 month ago. 
I'm not a fan of songs that last too long at the top. but I have to admit that this song will last on the charts, especially international charts, such as billboard.
btw I heard the film crew is already in LA, it seems their comeback is very close, maybe February or end of January. good luck to LSF
It happens faster than I expected, I thought it would take 2-3 more days to overtake Perfect Night in Top 100. Probably needs few more days to overtake it in daily chart though.
I think the song probably gains some tractions from karaoke first and then to mainstream in general.
Also, Lee Mujin’s new song starts to climb up more and more, we could have a dark horse here.
korean charts are becoming more lively 
Display MoreHow are these inane comparisons what you gather from any of my posts.
I’ve categorically said it’s not all about charts when deciding the biggest hits now.
When you do include it you need a mixture of peak and longevity as both bring in ULs. Big Bang getting a million ULs in basically a day is more indicative of how large they are rather than how large the song is. You don’t ascertain much from that hence why Still Life has 3.8m ULs and Hype Boy 4.3m.
In actual raw figures and outside of relative positioning which is dictated by wider market factors (such as people not just vibing with a song), Perfect Night is not blowing away the competition. It literally only has 1.8m ULs versus the 1.5m of Drama’s, it is not bringing in lots of listeners. I’m pretty sure it’s probably even closer on YouTube music.
I don’t know what logic you’ve used behind a large portion of the Korean population preferring Drama based on current performance. If anything, going by your logic of relative positioning being the be all end all, Spicy being number one means it was clearly the more well liked no.

I think this debate will never end, it's better to wait, time will tell which argument is correct. 
damm
I kinda agree with this one. While they might have reached #1 on the charts, I have a strong feeling people will forget it ever reached #1 yk? I don’t think these two songs will necessarily age well and will most likely sound outdated by the time 2026 rolls in (Baddie already sounds outdated even when it was released).
In 5 years when people look back on 2023 hits, I highly doubt Perfect Night and Baddie will be the first ones to come to mind.
And this is coming from someone who loves both groups’ music
Time will tell,
how long do you think PN and baddie will stay in the top 10 of the melon charts? 
Display MorePerfect Night's strong point is its stability. It had a slow start and its peaks is basically the same as Baddie, but it's just holding up better. In the next two weeks it might even outpace Love Lee's uls after the same amount of time. Songs that take a bit longer to hit 1 do tend to have better longevity/stability.
But with these low uls I really don't see much point in making comparisons and judgements between these songs and say one is performing so much better than the other. The performance of all these recent songs feels tragic tbh to me. However to be fair it might not be the fault of these songs. If they were released in April/May I think they would have gotten similar uls as what the hit songs back then got.
But we'll find out in the next couple of months if the current situation will be the norm or the exception. I find it hard to imagine that there won't be any songs from big artist anymore that can hit 500k uls.
That's specifically based on Vibe a.k.a the old Naver chart. I'll post the link to it bellow. The categories for men and older ages is especially fun to look at lol.
as expected. very enlightening

also let me say it again impressed by Ive being the most streamed song released in 2023
higher than BP? dam 
IVE is already a favorite group along with newjeans. I am waiting for their battle in the same month or maybe even better in the same week? who will be chosen by the Korean public?
IVE passed the problem with a perfect score
nako rn : 
Outside of charting, which even then is impacted by ULs, nothing else makes Perfect Night feel like one of the biggest songs of 2023.
Actually, it might be the biggest hit by numbers yet least impactful song I can think of in recent years. I barely see it anywhere in Korean media, popping on variety shoes, trending videos and whatnot. I don’t think that’s an English limitation either because Dynamite was everywhere
Also how does one check a songs total ULs and streams on Guysome these days? They used the have a page listing out all of the songs from an artists with their ULs and streams but can’t find it
I'm not a fan of songs that stay on top for too long. But if I speak objectively:
1. they are not bts, bts is bts. when dynamite was released, bts was already in top 2 BG.
2. perfect night, in my opinion is not a viral song in contrast to dynamite. Their growth is too slow to be considered a viral song.
I thought I was the only one who felt there was a change in the data displayed on the website
tomorrow will be very interesting to see, not just one song but three songs moving closer and closer. 
now it's on par with drama , If it survives until tomorrow, PN will pass super shy (accumulated number #1) 
come on lim jaehyun lets goo 
sorry for oot
in japan with the huge popularity of newjeans with ditto and OMG in 2023 and the success of ive in 2022, lsf still gets numbers like this, it's scary to be honest. Their digital and physical albums are really balanced. newjeans and ive really can't make a wrong move there.
