1.[+274, -6] What’s really amazing about Big Bang is that they released their songs 1 day apart and 1 week apart. Bad Boy and Fantastic Baby were released on the same day and they were so popular but couldn’t hit #1 because of Blue which was released the week beforeㅋㅋ In 2015, Loser and Bae Bae were released on the same day and they ranked #1 and #2 at the end of the month respectively. And the next month, We Like 2 Party couldn’t hit #1 because of Bang Bang Bangㅋㅋ Big Bang really doesn’t care about charts. Even their Last Farewell had dethroned Lies.

2.[+258, -5] Wow, Big Bang has a total of 17 title songs.. Even though they released songs like Fantastic Baby, Blue, and Bad Boy at once in the same album, 9 of their songs ranked #1 monthly. If they released them separately, they would have been #1 every month. When will GD release an album? ㅠㅠ

3.[+232, -27] 4th generation is taken over by IVE and NewJeans ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4.[+206, -144] Looking at NewJeans is like looking at Bigbang. Every time they release a song, it’s a hit, and their songs compete with each other on charts like NewJeans vs NewJeans.

5.[+198, -3] But now it seems like there is no competition anymore. In the 2nd generation, monthly and annual charts were full of idols, but at this time, you can only see 2-3 girl groups

week apart. Bad Boy and Fantastic Baby were released on the same day, and they were so popular but couldn’t hit #1 because of Blue, which was released the week beforeㅋㅋ. In 2015, Loser and Bae Bae were released on the same day, and they ranked #1 and #2 at the end of the month respectively. And the next month, We Like 2 Party couldn’t hit #1 because of Bang Bang Bangㅋㅋ Bigbang really doesn’t care about charts. Even their Last Farewell had dethroned Lies.
