Article: Melon's real time chart, idol music has disappeared

1. [+687, -121] Honestly, other than BTS, idols feel like they're in a world of their own lately. Their songs just aren't as attention-worthy compared to the past.

2. [+596, -13] There aren't any idol songs getting attention lately. It's easy, don't make it sound so complex. Idol music is so unpopular that music shows are barely hitting 1% viewer ratings.

3. [+405, -13] It's because idols just aren't as popular as they used to be. BTS was #1 just two months ago and Lee Hi was #1 for a brief moment. Nothing's weird about that.

4. [+61, -1] Even without idols, the charts are still being manipulated by sajaegi and Facebook spammers

5. [+49, -1] With all the digital sajaegi going on, idols can't stay on the charts

6. [+45, -0] As if anyone trusts Melon charts for anything nowadays ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+35, -0] Feels like Melon's digital chart has stayed the same all month long

8. [+30, -1] Who trusts charts anymore when people stream music on all night while they're sleeping?

9. [+25, -1] 90s songs are better than current songs

10. [+20, -1] Idols may have disappeared but people buying their way into the charts still exist

Feels like girlgroup are underperform this year even Twice is only 8 weeks in top 10.

Melon is act weird lately since crash, idk if melon are representating how well the song perform are.

 

[Echo]

Boy With Luv is still on the charts and in top 10... Damn

 

[LittleEuphoria]

Oh wow a lot of those songs have been on there forever. Melon is weird tho'. (And apparently corrupt)

These things are kinda cyclical - doesn't seem like non-BTS Idol songs are up for songs of the summer, but that might be because so many of the hot groups are new and not yet known to the GP. Then there's all the bad will towards YG that doesn't help.

interesting... i bet some idol group will have a big hit later this year though ( i mean i hope so!) but we'll see.

 

[Danee]

Honestly there are only few groups who have real impact. In comparision to second gen there is much fewer top lvl groups.

 

[Stepkdramafan226]

Well, lets see how the rest of the year turns out

I'm more surprised that there hasn't been a breakout hit for Spring, whether it be an idol song or an indie song. Koreans love that season.

Anyways, I'm quite sure that there will be a hit song later on in the year. I wouldn't underestimate idol music.

 

[Feitan]

Red Velvet will fix this crisis

 

[SM's Kunta Kinte Silence]

OTR are you seeing this? It's Iz*One's chance to shine. Don't muck this up again.
