What other groups do you like besides Twice?

just Twice so far

yeah, I've heard a few of their other songs. TT and Cheer Up are great. also, they seem to have a lot of tv shows or tv show appearances on YouTube. it's kind of overwhelming i don't even know where to start, lol. i've just been watching random clips
---

ahh, I saw that video the other day. Dahyun doing the Gashina dance was so funny. she's pretty flexible

This is great. It's the best RV song in my opinion. Not sure what they have against the pizza guy in the video though,

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo doo-doo-doo... hmm, you think so? Everybody seems to like it. lol, I think they just manhunt pizza delivery guys for fun. Maybe they should order Chinese.

The album is great. True velvet goodness.

Thanks Rob, now I've actually listened to DNA. For a moment there I thought I could escape just one BTS single...

Groundbreaking.

All K-Pop fans should be happy to see the love and respect BTS has been given by every major US media outlet, even if you're not a BTS fan/Army

Not a fan of the group, but that was pretty sick. Fan chant was dope.

bump.

This song is kinda good. Fake boobs concept?

More like fake everything concept.

So still no Secret. Back in January TS said they were planning a comeback for this year. Only 1 month left, I have my doubts it's happening.

hey guys

It won't. December is a horrible time to make a comeback. They'll get no attention at all, due to year-end ceremonies and awards season.

Doubt we'll see Secret again. TS seem to be desperately plugging Sonamoo but it's not working.

Secret's out. It's done.

Black Swan Mina is becoming my new bias.

Is that what it is lol. It's a shame, I think they're a cut above your typical "trashy" group. But Kpop is an industry of appearances after all...

Fake or not racer girls are top tier.

I'm finally listening to Red Velvet's new album. Great so far, but as with many Kpop albums, the B-side tracks are better than the title song.
---

Anyone watching the Unit? I've been watching it over the Thanksgiving. It's decent though I wish it was just girl groups since I don't care about the boy stuff.

I basically just root for Spica's Jiwon, Euna Kim, NC.A, Woohee and the Laboum girls. Which so far is working out.

Nod, that's fair. PAB isn't even a velvet song, like people have pointed out it's more of an even darker Russian Roulette. Still love it but yeah the album is perfect.

It's all about Hyunjoo and Hyosun's budding sis-mance. No h word. No, the other h word, the first one yes please.

if all of the sales from the other acts were added up, it would still be less than Twice's. that's pretty crazy.

Basically if you are trying to be successful, don't compare yourself to Twice.

Link to unit?

And they arent even done for this year, they just announced their repack is coming out in 2 weeks

I am responsible for one of those TWICE sales
---

So... repack is just recycled content?

That chart includes Japan sales too.

But yes, Twice is a wall in terms of physical sales.

In terms of digitals, they're not that ahead of the other girl groups. In all honesty, Red Velvet and BlackPink have been stronger digitally in some ways. Mamamoo too if you look only at Signal.

But overall, Twice is still the girl group on top.

Im up to 11 so far this year + how ever many versions of the repack they drop ._.

Highwind07 posted...

Isn't the repack like their debut album plus a few new tracks? that is what I heard.

Secret Asian Man posted...

It will be all of the songs from Twicestagram + most likely 2 new tracks (Heartshaker being the new Title track + at least one new non-promoted album track), in a new packaging (cover, photobook, photocard etc...)

Twice still has the most downloaded/streamed girl group song this year (Knock Knock), while Signal has more downloads and streams than Mamamo's Yes I am, and only slightly less than Rookie which was released several months before it. Likey was also charting better during its second week than Peek A Boo currently is during its second week. Also Twice has 3 of the 4 girl group songs that have gotten more than 200,000 downloads in a week this year with the only other one being Red Flavor and the only girl group song to surpass 300,000 in a week (Knock Knock).

Well I didn't say they weren't strong digitally; my point is that the top girl groups are a lot closer digitally. Red Velvet was the fastest to 1 million downloads with Red Flavor, BlackPink's AIIYL will probably chart in the top 100 the longest and Mamamoo's Yes I Am set a new record for unique listeners by a girl group.

GFriend had a down year unfortunately.

But regardless, the gap is huge between Twice and other girl groups in terms of physical sales, but it's a lot more competitive between them in terms of digitals.

Not like Twice doesn't win in every other area though. But it'll be interesting to see if they can get another hit song on the level of Cheer Up/TT

My thoughts:

-I'm surprised Apink is in the top 5
-I'm surprised that Blackpink is that low, same as AOA. I know AOA has lost a lot of ground, but I can't believe that much
-Glad to see WSJN and Lovelyz are doing well. Hope DIA does better too
---

New Loona:

Loona is quickly becoming my favorite girl group.

Gugudan not on the list :'(

BlackPink hasn't even released a Korean album yet. Those are all Japan sales.

Who knows when the Korean album will ever land.

And yes, AOA has fallen a few notches back. The whole Korean history controversy didn't help, nor did the loss of Choa.

On a per album basis, the top are as follows:

Twice by a mile
Red Velvet
GFriend
Mamamoo
Lovelyz

BlackPink needs to release Korean albums before we can get a good sense for how much they can sell domestically.

I did like Fingertip but not so much Love Whisper or Summer Rain. Those two other songs were OK.

Fingertip is my jam. The rest is meh to me. Never stood out.
