Taeyeon 3,553 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 SNSD annihilating some group (I cannot read hangul) Sistar in pretty much everything except with the last few digital releases? This is nothing new. Gaon made this chart or is it fan made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumi 222 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I don't get why it's important to share this then ask what we make of the charts... all I see is Sistar doing better than SNSD with digital singles but SNSD destroying Sistar in every other aspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee 9,628 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The first chart looks to me like SNSD vs. Sistar in singles. The others look like albums/physicals or something. The last one. I have no idea what's going on there except "Oh" vs. "Alone". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HvD 3,431 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm just going to quote what STAR1_USA said about the Gaon article: Gaon article is very scholarly. It was even written by a professor who concludes that because SISTAR is loved by wide age groups in Korea, they deserve to be called a National Girl Group even though they lack domestic and international fandom that SNSD have.

Seditary 5,876 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 For people wondering the first graph is Digital Sales, second graph is Album Sales, third is Fanclub Size, fourth is Youtube Views, fifth is Length of Time in Top 50 Gaon Chart (hilariously comparing a 2010 release to a 2012 release for some unknown reason). ^ lol, from what I understand from the article (though I don't know much Korean) is the person came to the conclusion that Sistar is loved by a wide age range only due to digital sales and bot ridden online voting.

kpoplol 317 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yeah call em a national group, because they can totally sell out concerts, tours, albums, are recognized by literally everyone in the country, considered representatives of korean culture and have hundreds of thousands of fans from children to elders. oh wait, sistar literally has none of that. 'scholarly' article my ass, it's clearly written by someone with an agenda. getting so damn tired of this sistar vs snsd crap people keep trying to push. newsflash, if you have to try so hard to label something, you don't deserve that label.

QuackingDuck 826 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 -sistar's recent songs are more popular than snsd's. -snsd have a bigger fanbase and are bigger internationally. -some scone was feeling extra pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schitstainz 1,562 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I love how i-fans, specifically SONES, have this ridiculous idea that the "national" title is strictly based on sales and fanbase. ROFLMAO. IIRC, SNSD wasn't selling out concerts and holding world tours when they stole the title away from the Wonder Girls. Take your heads out of each other's asses. If Koreans feel that another group is worthy of the title, then they have every right to do so. 'Cause, you know...they live in Korea...and they know what the fuck is actually going on.

s4a 13,715 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 defensive stans of both groups aside, it does seem like the main proponents of this supposed SONE vs STAR1 or SNSD vs SISTAR "war" or comparative stats breakdown are outside of the two fandoms in question.

Saint Rose 9,391 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I don't get it Does it really matter if SNSD still #1, or if SISTAR is #1 What does that change? Other than bragging and wanking rights This is not a competition, you'll like your faves no matter what right? Then their place shouldn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buns 3,767 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 So what's going on? SONES are shitting on SISTAR for their implied competition, Blackjacks are shitting on SISTAR for their implied competition, but they're always going to point the fingers at each other.

✽aya 998 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 For people wondering the first graph is Digital Sales, second graph is Album Sales, third is Fanclub Size, fourth is Youtube Views, fifth is Length of Time in Top 50 Gaon Chart (hilariously comparing a 2010 release to a 2012 release for some unknown reason). isnt it because those are each groups highest selling release? or rather their breakout song? not so random then.
