And since there's no competitiveness, it's easily to push the song super high. So what happens was that, at midnight, when everyone is sleeping and the charts are mostly constant with relatively poor performances (no one is listening to music at midnight!) fans of new releases stream like crazy. So they stay awake, because they want to be the first ones to listen to it. They have been advertised for days before about the date of the release. Usually people are asleep.Who is going to be here to listen to your new release? Not the general public, then who? Your fans. At first it looks like a smart strategy to benefit of the maximum charts period for the day, and although it is, it wasn't the main reason.īecause look. You see before, artists used to release their songs at midnight. The narrowing is enough to explain a part of the difference, it's 18hours of performance vs 6hours of performances. The reform even more narrowed that interval, and now the ranking only count from noon/12AM to 6PM, so only for six hours. Songs released after 6, at 7PM for example had to wait till midnight before getting included on the chart( just to be clear, it's like all the performances are count from midnight, everything that happens between 7-midnight isn't count. This meant that all the songs released on those platforms were ranked for their performance during this interval of hours. So yeah they were big, but in the kpop game right now, some groups could have surpassed it I think, if we were under the old system.Įverything in the post will be discussed in Korean time since those charts are Korean streaming based.īefore the reform, the charts real-time ranking system was aired from midnight/ 12 PM to 6PM. No groups that debuted during that area manage to have such good numbers (Twice and Red Velvet where the most noticeable ones, but Twice had to wait 180 days plus and I don't know for RV). Their debut was big in spite of everything else. Now, I am not undermining their success. And that's knowing they already debuted, so already had quite a popularity to push them. So if we dare to consider AIIYL as the debut song, under the new system, they had their first PAK after 420 days. It's after 14 months, with D4 that they ended up receiving again a new PAK. BlackPink realeased AIIYL a few months after, and although the song was big, they didn't achieve a PAK. In the beginning of 2017, there was a huge reform in the Korean Chart system, making it even hard for big artists to have a pak. Although BlackPink were huge at their debut, groups like IVE and New Jeans debut hype has pretty much surpassed BlackPink one, especially New Jeans.
