I never thought of that before but that's a really good point about the shift to other videos after the first couple weeks. The difference in views between MV and other videos makes alot of sense and is interesting to note for a big picture kinda view. Just curious but, @grandmajudy do you know how the numbers compare to Icy?I found this data interesting with the way companies might utilize paid advertisements for MVs these days. JYPE does also at times during the 1st few weeks as you can see the official view numbers for the wannabe music video is less than what appears on the MV counter. However looking at the top song chart info, it can be seen that people start shifting heavily to other sources of the song other than the official MV starting in Week 2. This makes sense as there are dance practices, music show stages, etc.
All data is from the Official YT Charts with excludes paid advertisements https://charts.youtube.com/charts/

Interesting.... So with ads the front numbers are higher but with a steep drop off, and without them the numbers are still front weighted but much higher in the long run. The fact that the Top Songs Charts numbers are higher for Wannabe even though Icy has ads makes me happy, smart of JYP to release so much content following the release.Unfortunately YT only changed their policy to exclude paid advertisements on their charts starting in September 2019, which was after the Icy promotions. So these numbers would include paid ads. Not exactly a perfect comparison. However it can been seen that Wannabe has had more longevity even if compared to Icy (with ads).

IT’z Me is has been selling nearly 1k a day so sales are now at 84k on Hanteo... I wonder where this spike is coming from since the girls aren’t promoting anymore. Either they’re gaining new fans or Midzys are trying really hard to get them 100k.
This is their peak digitally as of today:
