I am not the one who created this, just happen to chance upon it.

While there are people who think youtube views means absolutely nothing, I think the opposite is more apparent.

2013
  1. SNSD - I Got A Boy - 81 million
  2. Big Bang - Fantastic Baby (2012 release) - 35 million
  3. EXO - Growl - 23 million
  4. 2NE1 - I Am The Best (2011 release) - 22 million
  5. EXO - Wolf - 20 million

2014

  1. EXO - Overdose - 47 million
  2. SNSD - Mr. Mr. - 37 million
  3. Big Bang - Fantastic Baby (2012 release) - 36 million
  4. SNSD - I Got A Boy (2013 release) - 33 million
  5. EXO - Growl (2013 release) - 32 million

2015

  1. Big Bang - Bang Bang Bang - 94 million
  2. Big Bang - Loser - 78 million
  3. EXO - Call Me Baby - 68 million
  4. Big Bang - Fantastic Baby (2012 release) - 64 million
  5. Big Bang - Bae Bae - 52 million

2016

  1. TWICE - Cheer Up - 116 million
  2. Big Bang - Bang Bang Bang (2015 release) - 103 million
  3. TWICE - TT - 97 million
  4. BTS - Fire - 92 million
  5. TWICE - Like Ooh-Ahh (2015 release) - 90 million

In 2012, although not shown in the video, we all know Gangnam Style became viral that year and it benefited Big Bang Fantastic Baby greatly, so much so that it charted top 5 the next 3 years.

 

In 2013, SNSD had a hit with I Got A Boy, it spill over success across the entire Kpop spectrum with EXO benefiting with their own hit song Growl that year.

In 2014, there was a slump in Kpop. EXO manage to top that year with Overdose. However, Overdose wasn't a hit song by Kpop standard. No songs from 2014 chart in 2015.

In 2015, Big Bang had a hit with Bang Bang Bang. The effect spill over to the entire Kpop spectrum with TWICE managing to benefit most with their debut Like Ooh-Ahh.

 

In 2016, TWICE had a hit with Cheer Up. The success spill over to the entire Kpop spectrum and it's impact is already apparent now with BTS breaking records never seen before for Kpop group.

So... you're saying that Gangnam Style only impacted Big Bang? And it had less impact than the other music videos listed????

Err... You're simply twisting my words. I never say only impacted Big Bang. But it does impact other music video much lesser compared to Big Bang.

obsession over views was something since forever

I remember back in 2011-13 when I used to follow kpop a bit , I'd scroll down the comments in SuJu vids and see ppl aiming for 50m 60m 70m

the thing now is that fandoms are bigger.. kpop got alot more popular than before so let's not pretend that this obsession is new to kpop cuz it was there since the beginnig

^ This exactly

 

I follow Jpop in the early 2000 and got into Kpop through BoA. Just when Kpop scene shifts from solo singer to idol group, and when agency started using youtube, people were actually thrilled whenever a M/V reaches 10 million. That was a huge number back then because most other M/V from neighboring country didn't quite breach that figure.

this, it has always been fandom thing, since the very start of hallyu wave

Fans chat and spam a lot, nothing new there

But the views nowadays is sure sky rocketing, the popular groups can achieve 100mil way quickly when back then legends groups i.e SJ SNSD BB took years to achieve that, more people simply check k-MV now, fandoms, non-fans, new and older kpop listeners

I think that has more to do with Big Bang than PSY.

 

How did Gangnam Style impact FB? And why not the other videos?

PSY increase the visibility of Kpop. Gangnam Style is like a multiplier for most of the Kpop M/V at that time. It doesn't mean other M/V didn't get a boost, just not as much when compared to Big Bang.

 

100 multiply by 1.5 = 150.

20 multiply by 1.5 = 30

 

All M/V could get that 1.5 multiplier but Big Bang benefited the most because they already have a good foundation.

 

Big Bang - Fantastic Baby was a hit with or without PSY. It just so happen that Fantastic Baby was the 2nd biggest hit that year and manage to average a high number of view till this day.

 

It really isn't that hard to understand.

Is there a record of the views multiplying due to GS or something? I actually thought the boost was from FB being featured once in a US show and another boost came from FB being viral in the Philippines at one point. Also from its unending MAMA performances...

It's much easier to get to 100 mill views these days, hell it's much easier for world artist to get to billion these day. I remember when Psy got a billion it was monumental achievement , now there is a bunch of video with over billion views.

 

Thats why you can't really compare Youtube records from 2016 to Youtube records from 2012-2014.

Rather than comparing records from 2016 to 2012 - 2014, it's more about actually growing instead of being stagnant or actually decline.

MTE.

 

This is why ppl shouldn't be comparing new gen and old gen at all tbh because times have changed, and things are more easily done now than they were in the past, and vice versa. Comparing things like YT views and streams between old gen and new gen is just as dumb as comparing things like digital downloads and physical sales between them, especially in attempts to "assert superiority "*eye rolls*. Different times mean different standards. If any comparisons should happen, it should be within a single generation.
