First off I never claimed that they were Crayon Pop just that they have the potential to be, and again, even if they do find a way to ride some of this momentum they will be square in the mid-tier with groups like Lovelyz

That's just silly. They've put up numbers way bigger than any girl group not named Twice, Red Velvet, Mamamoo, BlackPink or GFriend.

Also why are you putting such a heavy emphasis on physical sales? Twice sells more albums than the 4 other top girl groups combined times 3-4.

That doesn't mean they're not extremely successful groups regardless.

Sistar, Kara, Wonder Girls and Miss A are some of the most successful girl groups of all time, and they never had high album sales.

For girl groups, at the end of the day, it's public recognition and digital performance that matters most, and Momoland is currently dominant in both areas in ways only top girl groups can relate.

And going back to their Japanese fanmeetings, please don't compare a bunch of ifans who stream youtube but never buy anything to Japan losing its shit over Momoland, lining up by the thousands just to see them and buying every album available at every store.

You have a very distorted view of what it takes to be a successful girl group. For instance, Mamamoo became a top girl group before their album sales became respectable. So did GFriend. The same can happen for Momoland.

You go find me a mid-tier girl group that has accomplished what Momoland has, as listed below:

MV approaching 100 million views
100k likes on Melon
Song charting in the Top 2 on Melon
Currently the 2nd highest Gaon Digital Index Score behind only Ikon's Love Scenario, the likely SOTY
6-7 Music Show wins, including a win in 4 consecutive months (only Twice has done this)
25,000 people showing up to their Japanese fanmeet (Again, only Twice pulls in these numbers)
Top 3 in the brand reputation index, with multiple members topping the individual brand reputation index

Again, find me the middle tier girl group with those accomplishments and I'll relent.

But I know I'll be waiting a long, long, long time.

Also, please note I never said Momoland was on the same level as the Big 5 girl groups; I just disagree with your logic and downgrading of their stellar accomplishments in just 4 months. It's something Crayon Pop NEVER did, and there are a lot of positive signs in Momoland's favor.

If they get another big hit, by all objective measurements, Momoland is going to be a top girl group.
