They threw everything they had at it this time to try to chart, but didn’t even make Bubbling.
- [+137, -51] Still, at least aespa has the achievement of winning a Billboard award.
- [+127, -15] Just because aespa didn’t chart this comeback doesn’t mean your faves beat them~ At the end of the day, aespa is still 4th gen top-tier.
- [+121, -12] Even when aespa "flops," they hit #2 on the Top 100 (domestically). Can’t even compare to your flop group that’s fallen so far it’s pathetic to even bring them up...
- [+119, -59] Predictions said #99, so if they didn’t even touch Bubbling Under, how heavy was the filtering??
- [+112, -10] Better than those idols who’ve never hit #1 in either Korea or overseas ㅋㅋ.
- [+111, -15] Of course K-pop groups are going to bring up Melon, what else are they supposed to lead with? You think it’s better to be a local flop with only some vague overseas stats to show? ㅋㅋ Aespa’s got Korea on lock, built strong fandoms in Japan and China, and they’re raking in the cash, what’s better than that? No 4th gen group has actually broken the US market anyway.
- [+109, -52] Even with Chinese fans bulk-buying 18k, they still couldn’t chart, that in itself is legendary ㅋㅋ
- [+90, -43] Without Kakao/Melon, they’re literally nothingㅋㅋ
- [+83, -17] Oricon sales estimated under 150 copies. Billboard Japan: 29k. Suddenly vanished from top spots on Thai Spotify. Billboard Thailand: gone. Global Spotify: out. Billboard Hot 100: nowhere to be found. Claimed 18k sold, but no sign on Billboard 200 either. Didn’t even show up on Bubbling Under. All that’s left is #1 on Thai Spotify. #1 on Iceland Spotify. With all those collab boosts and promo, they’re just mid-to-upper tier among Apple Music-heavy artists.
- [+76, -13] All the versions and remixes in the world don’t matter if you don’t have the basic fandom to consume it. They basically have zero fans in the US ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- [+38, -2] SM idols on the Billboard Hot 100? ㅋㅋㅋ Come on, America isn’t buying that.
- [+33, -3] They poured their souls into trying to chart on Billboard and all they did was confirm they’re not popular in the USㅋㅋ
- [+28, -0] They used to drag other girl groups for riding remix and bulk-buy boosts, then they did the exact same thing and still couldn’t even make Bubbling~ hilarious ㅋㅋ
- [+27, -2] Surprised no fanwars in the comments here yet.
- [+24, -6] aespa fans are hilarious. We’re talking Billboard, and they keep bringing up Melon. You didn’t miss Hot 100 because of Melon, it’s Billboard you flopped on, you dumb MYs.
- [+23, -1] Even Katseye charted. And K-pop Demon Hunters, even they made itㅋ
