1.[+272, -6] What’s really amazing about Bigbang is that they released their songs 1 day apart and 1 week apart. Bad Boy and Fantastic Baby were released on the same day and they were so popular but couldn’t hit #1 because of Blue which was released the week beforeㅋㅋ In 2015, Loser and Bae Bae were released on the same day and they ranked #1 and #2 at the end of the month respectively. And the next month, We Like 2 Party couldn’t hit #1 because of Bang Bang Bangㅋㅋ Bigbang really doesn’t care about charts. Even their Last Farewell had dethroned Lies. 

2.[+255, -5] Wow, Bigbang has a total of 17 title songs.. Even though they released songs like Fantastic Baby, Blue and Bad Boy at once in the same album, 9 of their songs ranked #1 monthly? If they released them separately, they would have been #1 every month. When will GD release an album? ㅠㅠ

3.[+230, -27]  4th generation is taken over by IVE and NewJeans ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4.[+206, -139] Looking at NewJeans is like looking at Bigbang. Everytime they release a song, it’s a hit and their songs compete each other on charts like NewJeans vs NewJeans.

5.[+198, -3] But now it seems like there is no competition anymore. In the 2nd generation, monthly and annual charts were full of idols, but at this time, you can only see 2-3 girl groups

6.[+96, 0] Bigbang is really… their popularity is just too much. How many years have they been doing this?

7.[+72, -13] Bigbang’s ‘Tonight’ and Wonder Girls’ ‘Why So Lonely?’ were considered as flops and were mocked by other fans but they ranked #1 in the month. ‘Tell Me’, ‘Nobody’, ‘Lies’, ‘Haru Haru’ are mega hits that keep popping up everywhere so if their other songs are not like these mega hits, others call them flop 

8.[+45, -1] Bigbang is in their 19th year now, but if you exclude their hiatus, they have only been active for 7 years. They released fewer albums than 3rd generation idols and their 3rd full album was their last but everything they put out was huge so the results are crazy. They are the type of popular male idols that will never come out again

9.[+28, 0] The second generation really made a splash because there were a lot of idol songs in the top 10 monthly rankings. The songs were so famous that you could tell just by looking at the album picture. It was the last generation when the general public searched for idol songs.

10.[+19, 0] Wonder Girls, Bigbang and 2NE1 are really amazing
