WOW the new monster rookies in town! I suspect they'll have 6 wins on music shows and then comeback again this fall after Twice. Then of course they'll sweep the rookie awards!
urgh, why every article there's THAT "ONCE"
lmao as if BP's name doesn't come up in every other kpop artists articles....
I'm interested to see the exact numbers. Congrats to them but with all these sold out arenas and domes Twice is doing it's hard to imagine they are far behind with their Twicelights tour.
Interesting that Fancy U isn't on the top 10 downloads. Maybe because it was released later than all the other songs. Because I know it is still charting very well for a 3 month old song.
Congrats to Twice. But you have to give credit to IZONE as well. I feel that they're going to rival Twice in sales very quickly. Not overall sales obviously, but the number of sales from each album released.
The produce project groups all seem to have crazy success. But I wonder if it has a lot to do with people knowing it is a temporary group and investing a lot of energy into them while they can. IF they were a permanent group, I doubt they'd be raking in the sales Twice have managed for almost 4 years now. Longevity is more important after all. With every album (with new music) Twice outsells themselves. Look at other groups like RV, GFriend etc. their sales either stay the same or fluctuate.
Pink hair Ryujin, definitely tops my Top5 most perfect artists with Pink hair <33
1. J-Hobi
2. Sana
3. Ryujin
4. Joy
5. Jisoo (Just to be clear, I don't hate BP but I can't say I like them, I love Jisoo tho, I know strange :D)
You can't rank pink hair unless you include the originator and Queen herself Jia from miss A. The first to do it and the setter of the trend!
My thoughts are that the producers of the show are at fault for not informing their actors of this regulation - and I hope she sues those people for putting her in this position.
It's mad dumb that people are saying the actress deserves to be charged...If you were invited to film a television show that takes you to a place you never been, puts you in contact with different species, films you hunting them and eating them with the cast and crew why on EARTH would you think it would be a crime. There are many types of clams so if someone says that 1 is endangered that doesn't mean you know which one. The crew should have them told them not to touch ANY of the clams if they were actually informed. For Thai officers to pursue charges against the actress mainly just seems stupid in my opinion and like they don't really want to go up against a huge South Korean company so instead attack the individual. They could have even just banned filiming/shows/south korean ent. from going back to the park.
Wow TWICE! The only girl groups that can keep up with the boys at this point...so crazy how people don't invest in female artists albums as much as they do the boys. We all know why though. Also proud of Got7 for being number 7! They can catch up to 5 in no time! <3
What do you mean by America pushing BTS forward? No country pushing any artist forward, it's their own fan buying their album just like twice in japan. Anyway congratulation for both group, I expect bts sales will get higher once light come out on July and possibly another Korean comeback.
Any artist that breaks into the American market's sales and recognition skyrockets. America has the biggest music industry in the world and if you make it there you get placed on a bigger stage. Why do you think it's been the dream of so many artists to do concerts in the US or perform on TV here. If Twice made music like Black Pink no doubt they would have been the ones invited to do all the press and such in America and perform at Coachella etc. but as of now their music doesn't connect to US audiences.
So happy for Twice. More people should be giving them credit for how crazy their sales are as a girl group and without America pushing them forward like BTS. Once Twice starts to do more diverse concepts and leaves their signature cutesy-ness alone I'm sure America will take notice and they'll really dominate the whole world. No one can touch them in Asia though and only BTS comes close.
Wow Twice actually is the best selling kpop act in Japan right now since combining all of their charting albums no one can touch them! Even with just Fancy You and #Twice they've got 403K in sales. That's crazy! They are the KARA of this generation. haha
They're reporting on a huge achievement of a Korean group. Pure sales is no joke. That's where the $ at. Streams brings pennies so this chart is what any artist craves for and hard to ignore. The fact that BTS, with a Korean album, has surpassed album sales of every American artists IN AMERICA this year is a feat. No foreign language album has done that in the +50 year history, not even the Spanish ones which is more popular and has been around longer.
I get that part. I'm just saying I would love for at least one article to include the total numbers with streaming included. lol
I can't help but feel a way that everyone reporting on this is only telling half the story. I'd love to see where BTS falls when you add in Streaming numbers. Almost everything is digital now so streaming matters a lot. I don't think much would change, BTS would still be in the top 10 but they surely wouldn't be number 1 with people like Ariana and Billie.
I miss this era soo much!!! Just reading "Girls' Generation, Super Junior, 2NE1, Shinee"... in the same sentence makes my fangirl heart burst with love!! Our Golden Era <3 <3
I watched the 2010 hit songs playlist from music core I think it was on youtube yesterday and it really took me back! The songs were all hits but so different from each other. The big groups were the big groups and well respected but the rookie groups were also strong and showing amazing potential!
GOT7 ranked #1 for physical album sales! aaah~ so proud~~ 💚
Our boys are still holding strong!
Flop7 in full effect I see. lol I'll never understand why people started calling them that when they have consistent sales that increase every comeback. Flop7 proving haters wrong one album at a time.
I think JY was just joking around and hinting that they were allowed to date now
This makes more sense.
Yeah, they definitely have lol. All their Europe concerts were sold out- the one I went to in Berlin held 12,000 people. And I imagine their US, Thailand and Japan concerts were even bigger.
Yeah! I can't remember exact figures but I know for a fact they've had concerts of 10,000+. Maybe that rule he speaks of is specific to Korea??But if that were the case I feel like only Wonder Girls, 2PM, and Twice would have achieved that. What happened to the 3 years or something like that?
Hasn't Got7 filled concerts with 10,000 people though? lmao
I could totally see quirky AkMu under JYP.
I'll never understand why they chose YG over JYP. They would have fit in so well with the company and their image.
I don’t understand why people are so quick to assume she WAS LGBTQ+. Don’t forget her first language isn’t English. She supports them but isn’t lgbtq+ she did say QUEEN after it.
All the people who were freaking out are freaking out for nothing lmao. All the lgbt that wanted her to be one of them are all upset now.🤡 This is what happens when fans scream for the first word but doesn’t hear the rest of what she had to say..
This is why you don’t assume things about anyone or anything or stuff that were said or done.😔
It wasn't really an assumption though, just a misunderstanding. It was hard to hear the Queen part because the audience started cheering right after she said LGBT. lmao Also who says they are LGBT Queen? lol It's not something you hear very often so it was natural for people to think she meant that she was a part of the LGBT community.
Sunmi is very good at English though. It's hard to believe she would word her sentence like that just to show support... lol I have always suspected from YEARS AND YEARS ago that she was at least bisexual but def into girls. haha
Somehow I knew all of Mamamoo would be in the top, Chungha, Taeyeon, and Sana. lol Surprised about Red Velvet though.
I would love to see them work with someone like Rihanna. I bet that would be a cool collab. Of course she never would but just putting it out there. lol
I'm just gonna say that I think Twice made it cool for people to buy female group albums again. Since their crazy sale numbers started to become a thing, it kind of effected every other girl group in a positive way.
