Some comments of Knets on the above chart:
– As expected of BangPink’s power !!
– BLACKPINK is the second most popular Kpop group in America. It’s ridiculous that some kids complain that BLACKPINK is only popular in Southeast Asia.
– It feels like BTS is completely overwhelmed in America.
– TWICE is in the top 3, they are definitely popular in America too.
– BTS recorded more than 200 million views from the US in the first 3 months of the year. How excellent !!
– I can guess BTS’s No.1 and BLACKPINK’s No.2, but TWICE’s ranking is too high.
– Wow, TWICE reached 3rd !! Why are there people who still say TWICE can’t be famous in America ?!
– Stray Kids’ ranking is higher than expected .. !! Great
– But Stray Kids’ ranking is really high !! The group must be very popular in America.
– But NCT isn’t as famous as I thought …
Congratulations to all Kpop idols who made it to the chart. Are you surprised by any idol’s ranking? Please share your opinion.
