maidoan97 743 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Except for Red Velvet, TVXQ, Kyuhyun, Taemin, BoA, SM literally chose the worst songs in the album to promote Examples: Wolf (I seriously want to know what EXO's reaction was when they first heard the song, I was like "What the heck was that?" when I heard the demo xD) Red Light Rum Pum Pum Pum (I wish Toy was chosen instead >.<) Crazy (Jonghyun) I Got A Boy Holler Shake That Brass (I liked the song but I think other tracks were better) .... (Give me more examples if you like) I wonder why SM can't choose public-friendly songs instead. Thank god Kyuhyun was able to persuade SM to choose At Gwanghwamun Do you agree with me? Sorry if I offended those who liked the songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyoyeon's lines in check 6,413 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Duh. It all went downhill with the chorus-less "The Boys." Everything from Sorry Sorry to that point all followed a nice little consistent formula of being catchy and enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
í—�! 8,234 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Sometimes.... but I don't think SM cares to cater towards the public because judging solely from past hits (which they have many), it's no secret that SM knows the formula and what songs to choose that will cater to the public.

EXOSUS 2,534 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I wonder why SM can't choose public-friendly songs instead.Because Korea's taste is always basic ballad songs and SM's music is more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taelent 9,485 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Rum Pum Pum Pum is one of the most addictive, original, well-produced kpop songs of this decade. Don't even try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dishdash 1,556 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 EXO has way better song's in the album than the tittle song. Well to me they do. of course the other songs are better. but CMB was obviously the more marketable song. people wanted El Dorado (although that is one song that i don't actually love) but i don't think it would have done nearly as well on the charts as CMB did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wouldn't of done the same? EXO fans are the ones supporting the song so it could chart so well for a long time, so what would be the difference if it was a different song?

+killa+ 117 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I think they they choose the ones that are more marketable. The ones which would be better when performed and won't be boring to watch. And the ones that they think would solidify the image they want for their idols to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenee 3,730 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I can see why the title tracks are chosen, because they are more marketable than their side tracks, but I prefer the side tracks much more. How much I loved Holler album, the title track itself was very lacking and I am quite sad cause some people didn't give a chance to the other awesome stages like Adrenaline and Whisper because of it. I got a boy turned out to a good performance song, so I ain't mad. Pink Tape, Red Light and XOXO are such good albums but RPPP and Red Light were ok-ish and Wolf was such a funny tragic mess. I think SM should give them better and more public friendly songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haunted 5,365 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Yes, most recently i think Boa's title track should have been shattered instead of kiss my lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
