This is the daily chart for yesterday.

Only one idol group in top 10 and just 5 in top 20.


Loco released a song today and it's the 4th song at #1 real time in the last 7 days. And guess who is coming the day after tomorrow? IU. Soloists and SMTM will not let anyone breathe for the month of October.

don't really wanna downgrade ikon but except them the latest idol group release in the pic you posted is idol which was released like 1.5 months ago...so yeah

I don't see how that's downgrading iKON. The point of the thread is to show how many digitally powerful soloists are releasing music right now and how they are running the charts. There is also a reason why not many idol groups are releasing now. It's ballad season so the time for solo artists just like how summer was time for idol groups, mostly girl groups.

no one is downgrading ikon but mentioning them as the only group hanging in top 10 in a sea of soloists is kinda pointless since they released their album one week ago

 

happy for them GR is doing better than KM tho, i like the song

I guess it can be misunderstood that I made this thread to praise iKON when my feelings are more towards "whoa, look at these soloists go!". But iKON even being in top 10 is great so it's not that pointless to mention it. I'm gonna leave the title as it is.

the title clearly shows that Ikon being in the top10 is more impressive than the top10 being filled with solos because its the first thing written there

Whatever the intention may be, I do think it's impressive that iKON is there, even if there comeback is recent. iKON is in the Top 10. i-K-O-N. 

 

Just think about it, a while ago iKON would never even be considered to even reach the Top 10 (even though they did do that in the past) and now they are in the Top 10 alongside other strong soloists. A lot of other groups who are also big, are barely reaching the Top 100 and if they do not the Top 10. iKONICs have every reason to be happy.

that's amazing. the #1 spot is changing literally every 2 days or so. 
That's how much of a blood bath it is for October already. 

Shaun at #1 was at a UL of 500k for almost a month... while current #1 ULs are 800k at least and to be at 500k.. you would be out of top 3 immediately... since current #3 is at 720k ULs

 

Don't get why people are faux offended that iKON is praised for holding on in the top 10. It IS impressive. It is basically solo and indie digital monsters season. 

 

Glad GBR is doing great and even hit #1 and also got rooftop hits. iKON's public recognition is definitely improving <3

They are doing so well! Some groups stayed no 1 with 400+ uls for weeks and that's considered a success so hell yeah I am proud of them. It's a bloodbath out there and IU and Zion T still to come Welp.

 

EXO is November right?

I forgot Zion T is coming as well. RIP laugh.png

 

Yeah, EXO, Twice, Wanna One and some other groups are coming in November.

How long is this SMTM this gonna go on? I'm not here for TWICE getting cockblocked their next cb like they were with Likey..

I'm pretty sure these have been just the first songs coming from the show. So probably a few more weeks of releases.
