IZ*ONE Bags Top Spot On Japan’s Weekly Oricon Chart
By abbyinhallyuland | July 2, 2019


“Buenos Aires” has taken the girls of IZ*ONE to a worth celebrating party.

Following the success of their debut Japanese single, IZ*ONE sells 216,000 cumulative sales from their latest
album’s lead track.






Peaking at the top spot of Oricon Daily Single Charts upon its release on June 26, “Buenos Aires” subsequently
tops the weekly chart for the period of June 24-30. The girls now join Twice and BTS which also achieved the
impressive sales from their respective music releases.

Adding to that, “Buenos Aires” becomes a successful follow up to their first Japanese single “”Suki to Iwasetai” .
Boasting over 190,000 sales on its launch, the track is certified platinum by Recording Industry Association of
Japan (RIAJ).

Formed through Mnet’s survival reality show Produce 48, IZ*ONE was recently cited as the top new artist in terms
of music sales volume by Oricon. From December 14, 2018 till June 17 2019, the girls have been proving their
international prominence with garnered JP¥510 million music sales.



Officially launching their Japanese activities in February 2019 with hit single “Suki to Iwasetai”, the Japanese
version of HEART*IZ released in April contributed to the massive purchase turnout from fans.

In June, IZ*ONE amassed over 17,000 attendees in the Seoul leg of their first concert tour. Thereafter, they
performed at sold-out concerts in Thailand and Taiwan.

Timely to their Japanese music promotion, they are set to stage IZ*ONE 1st Concert ‘EYES ON ME’ in Japan.
Allocating four stops, the girls will be holding performances in Japan from August till September.

Well I apologize then. I didn't know it was taboo in this new forum to speak about concerns regarding IZ*One. I'll refrain from negativity to keep the peace.

And what more do I really want? I want most of Korea to eventually fall in love with IZ*One like they did with the previous Produce groups, and shower them with tv love calls, CF deals, and sponsorships. I want more people to see the magic that I see whenever I see IZ*One laughing together like one big amazing family, made up of random girls that just somehow miraculously came together and "fit". I want to see the girls' hard work be paid off a thousand fold and have the world realize that they are one of the best and most lovable girl groups to have ever existed in kpop.

Am I asking for too much? Maybe. But I don't care. I only want the very best for the girls because they deserve the world.

Talk about whatever you want, but no one wants this thread to devolve into some big argument about what some other group is doing.

"Most of Korea" doesn't actually give a shit about idols one bit if we're being real, Kpop fans tend to make Kpop into a bigger thing than it actually is, so there aren't ANY groups that "most of Korea" loves. They'll listen to a catchy song but they won't actually give a shit about who sings it. The people who "love" Kpop and Kpop idols is a small subset of the population and IZ*ONE has cut themselves a bigger portion of that population than any girl group that has debuted in the last 5 years not named Twice, including the other female produce group. HEART*IZ is going to pass their entire career sales soon. IZ*ONE is far more popular where it actually matters than they ever were.

Also, groups don't debut in a vacuum, trying to compare IZ*ONE to a group that debuted 3 years ago in terms of perceived public popularity is foolish. The industry was literally completey different 3 years ago, the 2nd gen was largely dying off and no girl groups in the 3rd gen had established any sort of hold on the industry. 2016 was literally the perfect time to debut for a girl group. Twice just had a big hit but wouldn't hammer down their hype with TT until AFTER that groups final group comeback. GFriend released only a single song that underperformed then went on hiatus until after that group was dead. RV was coming off a gigantic flop (OOTN) and didnt even begin to start to turn things around until a few weeks before that groups last comeback. And BP would debut after them and have success but only truly blow up after they were dead. The industry was literally wide open, any group that was halfway likeable would have gotten loads of attention, not to mention every variety show was begging full idols groups to make appearances back then which just doesn't happen all that much anymore.

Fast forward to Oct 2018 late into 3rd gen. Twice and BP rule the girl group market with an iron fist, Twice being well on their way to being the best selling girl group ever and the group that revived Hallyu in Japan and BP being one of the biggest digital forces in girl group history and perhaps the girl group who penetrated the western market the most ever. Then you have RV, GFriend, and Mamamoo all established as the untouchable 3-5, and an industry absolutely flooded with new groups in the wake of PD101. IZ*ONE then debuts into this absolutely stacked market, debuting in the most stacked month for comebacks maybe ever at the time, and immediately penetrates the upper tiers of the girl group market and establishes themselves as the new #2 in terms of physicals/fandom and rival any other rookie for digitals/public popularity. They then go over to Japan and immediately decimate every girl group not named Twice over there, then they release their Korean comeback into an even MORE stacked month than their debut and that song is now the 5th best performing girl group song of the year. A song they released in the same month that BP, BTS, and Twice (the 3 top kpop groups) is TOP 5 for girl groups this year so far, do you understand how crazy of an accomplishment that is, to go head to head with those 3 and not be completely overlooked?

They have, in every aspect, forced themselves into the highest tier of girl groups both fandom wise and public perception wise despite that top 5 being basically impenetrable for years. A top 5 that didnt exist back in 2016. If IZ*ONE as they are get transported back to debut into that weak 2016 market they would have absolutely decimated the industry and would have actually been toe to toe with Twice. If you bring that other group up to late 2018 to debut they wouldnt be anywhere near what they were in 2016. It may feel like another produce group was more publicly relevant but they were very much a product of the time and didnt have to really fight for it like a group in the modern market has to. The fact that IZ*ONE has been able to penetrate the previously untouchable top 5 should tell you everthing you need to know about their popularity.

That's all I'm gonna say about this tho, not gonna keep dragging this out.

City of Sakura

So the site took so long to load and I have no idea about what is inside the tweet, but I am imagining a City full of Sakura Tree only to be proven wrong after clicking the link since the site won't load on me and to see that it is about Kagoshima experiencing severe floods due to heavy rain.
