✨ Ass Fat ✨ 9,598 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 SECRET, OC, Kara, T-ara and other groups have had bad Digital Sales this year for their comebacks though does that clarify that their comeback was/is a flop? I'm just asking considering Kara won #1 at a music show and SECRET being nominated for a music show win several times this comeback (dont know about OC and T-ara) Does having a low rank in a chart that is solely based on Digital Sales (Melon) make the comeback a flop?? just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teru 22,363 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 no it's just a convenient go-to for people who want to find anything to hold over groups they don't like/groups who rival their faves all of my faves are older groups who excel in physical sales rather than digital (because, amazingly, digital charts are a fairly recent invention that weren't always the sole measure of success), so I don't really pay a lot of attention to digital charts in comparison to physical charts because it's not as relevant to the fanbases I'm in. I mean it's nice to make a dent in them for sure but digitals aren't the be all end all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimemasterGogo 2,109 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It depends. if you do okay digitally then it's alright, But if you flop on digital then you have zero popularity in the mainstream and so you're just a fandom group and will have no impact on the industry at all.
