Week of June 20 witnessed a huge battle between BTS’s “Butter”, aespa’s “Next Level” and Brave Girls’ “Chi Mat Ba Ram” on the 24-hit MelOn Music Chart. According to the list, there is a tight rivalry between aespa and the Brave Girls at numbers 2 and 3.
In fact, BTS’s song “Butter” was briefly dropped from #1 at around 8am. This hour generally coincides with a time period when idol groups’ songs are lower than usual. “Butter” quickly recovered this situation.
Here are some comments from netizens on the tight rivalry between the three groups:
“Butter” will be successful in the long run”
“Can’t believe it’s been a month since Butter was released? It’s a brand new feeling”
“SM must be partying, like all of us”
“It’s interesting that aespa’s song is so successful because it’s a remake”
“I hope they don’t make this a boy group vs girl group issue…”
“No one knows when this ranking will change! That’s what’s happening with the new MelOn system”
“Aespa’s song won first place, right? Out of three songs…”
“BTS has the most listeners (559,249) of the three, so there’s actually a pretty significant gap between #1 and #2 + #3”
aespa also shared the cherry below today. They must be aware of the first!
