maidoan97 743 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Would EXO have the same popularity if Growl was released as XOXO's title track while Wolf was the repackage title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImInCloud13 10,942 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Popularity yes, but maybe the following comebacks wouldn't have been a success digitaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermist 3,692 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 i don't think so. Wolf is the song that give exo a lot attention and a lot of fans. Especially after 1 year hiatus, i don't think growl would as big as it if wolf is not released before growl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
í—�! 8,234 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I mean...... Wolf still got #1 and won them awards, lmao.... it just received a lot of negative attention. Growl would've been a hit either way. It's success wasn't due to the contrast of likeness to Wolf but because it was a good and catchy song.

Callum 1,932 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It depends. Growl probably would've still smashed if it went first, but if Wolf was the repackage song instead who knows if it would've damaged the long-term sales of XOXO. I think going from a meh song to a smash song benefited their sales in the long-run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growl would've been a hit either way. It's success wasn't due to the contrast of likeness to Wolf but because it was a good and catchy song. Actually it was one of reason. Wolf was winning over the legend Cho Yong Pil and it was awful song. That's why it brought EXO ton of attention (their #1 triple crown article got 10k comments).

Yayaya 1,862 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I would be dissapointed a bit tbh. After growl, fans would expect another good song but then if wolf is out, expectations would die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jxngnins 1,015 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It would have been succesful but not as much. Tbh as much as people dislike Wolf, it was a blessing for EXO's popularity; it gave them so much attention.

mendoan 8,110 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Article: EXO wins #1 on 'Inkigayo'... Triple crown on the public broadcasts achieved Source: Star News via Naver This article legit has 10,500 comments. This is pretty much the hottest topic on Pann, etc, and it's not anything pretty. 1. [+7,477, -854] Am I the only one who doesn't understand how EXO won? 2. [+6,631, -208] The only thing I thought when I saw them win is... they're going to get a lot of hate again. 3. [+7,274, -1,029] Vote up if you don't know who they are 4. [+5,144, -595] I'm not hating on EXO or anything but this song is just.. so bad... EXO seemed talented enough, but the song.. 5. [+4,317, -464] Further proof that the three broadcast channels are just puppets to SM... Korea's music industry is getting dumpstered 6. [+2,921, -188] I don't have a problem with them having a large fandom... I just have a problem with the huge difference there is between their digital chart ranking and winning music programs with text votes. 7. [+2,904, -385] Fu*king ridiculous 8. [+1,688, -192] Finally this is on the main page... I have a lot of fu*king things to say about this. 9. [+603, -41] What a stressful life for those kids ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Win #1 and still get hate (from the public), not win #1 and still get hate (from their company) 10. [+630, -84] Triple crown? More like a triple shock for the public 11. [+521, -97] I'll admit that I'm a fan and that I wished they wouldn't win... Look at all this hate they're getting... Just hoping that EXO isn't on the internet today. 12. [+466, -80] Yes wolf, I'm a wolf, awooooooh......... sigh....... 13. [+443, -86] There was so much talk about these kids so I decided to watch Inkigayo. All I could do was fu*king sigh. 14. [+411, -58] Ranked 50th on Melon... What the fu*k? 15. [+395, -46] I'm an EXO fan so I should be happy about them winning but everything about this just makes me sad... 16. [+388, -76] Even as a fan, I'll admit that this is utterly wrong. 17. [+333, -32] First group in history to get 10,000 comments of hate after getting a triple crown ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ 18. [+326, -40] They have to be the #1 idol group that achieved getting the most amount of hate in the shortest amount of time 19. [+240, -23] Well obviously SM is composing music with their feet now since they know they can trust the power of their stupid fangirls 20. [+233, -28] This was all planned by SM. Look at all these people searching up who the group is because of all the buzz, even if it's negative ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Now the public knows who they are. They just need a good song next time and they'll be on their way to fame thanks to SM's media play ^^ 21. [+220, -17] I wonder if it was worth getting a million antis over one trophy 22. [+201, -33] RIP Korean Music Industry June 2013 23. [+211, -59] How do their fans listen to this song without their ears rotting off? 24. [+127, -16] I think the 'three little bears' song has more musicality than 'Wolf' 25. [+118, -10] Literally three days of nonstop hate... I don't think the wins were worth any of this, SM. - Article: 'Music Bank' EXO wins first #1 music program since their debut 'tears' Source: Star News via Nate 1. [+1,013, -130] I've seen a lot of #1 wins in my life but today was just a wall nobody could climb over, the most ridiculous win I've ever seen ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ 2. [+960, -122] I'm just really curious... because I've never heard their song once. Does this mean I'm not up to date with current K-pop? 3. [+920, -117] I bet they were thinking this is unbelievable as well... Who the hell would think that such a trashy song could win. I'd get on my knees and sob over how unjustified the win is. 4. [+223, -30] I think I've been on this earth for too long ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ I never wanted to have to see a nugu group like this win #1 ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ 5. [+216, -35] May our music industry rest in peace. 6. [+177, -22] Pretty sure we all knew they'd win with their fandom power alone. You know our music industry is fu*ked up when a group like them can overtake Jo Yong Pil. 7. [+175, -15] They're #70 on the digital charts ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ a song in #70 won #1 on a music program ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ 8. [+120, -13] This might sound harsh but this win is more ridiculous than B1A4 winning #1 on Music Core a month ago 9. [+98, -8] Two things I don't get from this week's Music Bank: 1. EXO winning 2. SISTAR getting 3 comeback tracks when Ivy and Nell only had 1. 10. [+96, -11] I guess even EXO's stupid fangirls are admitting that the song is trash because none of them are talking about the quality of the song but bragging about how they bought out a record breaking number of albums to secure this win ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ 11. [+76, -8] Congratulations to the EXO fandom for setting a new record breaking history! I don't think any other group can break the record of having a #50 song on the charts win #1~ ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ - Article: 'Music Bank' EXO wins #1 for the first time 2 weeks after comeback... overtakes the king Jo Yong Pil Source: TV Report via Daum 1. [+1,669, -59] Who is EXO?? 2. [+1,223, -48] Who? 3. [+1,079, -41] SM is really stretching themselves thin here;;; As if sticking in Lee Soo Geun in Knee-Drop Guru wasn't bad enough... They really need to know their limits;;; Nobody even knows who EXO are 4. [+859, -30] Kids I'm seeing for the first time in my life have won #1... Who are they? Singers? 5. [+814, -29] I guess the important thing here is that they have 0 points in the viewers' preference category. 6. [+679, -28] They come out in packs just to sing a trashy song... Who are you kids? 7. [+627, -23] Debuting under SM used to guarantee that you at least some public recognition but I guess that isn't the case anymore. Who are they? 8. [+544, -27] When I first heard their song, the first thing I thought was 'How is this trashy song allowed to exist' 9. [+515, -25] I consider myself a pretty nice person to the point that I could understand that paper idol group winning #1 but EXO??? This is just wrong. 10. [+154, -10] Such is the power of SM~~~ A trashy song like this can win #1... - my fav plot twist ever after exo nugu then grwol happened, the trend song atm people should be happy when knetz said their bias groups are nugu now, look at exo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
