I happened to come across a comment saying that JYP boy groups haven’t really done well on domestic charts since the 2nd gen.
I didn’t quite believe it, for example Stray Kids are insanely popular and have sold a huge number of albums, so it didn’t make sense to me that they wouldn’t perform well on Domestic charts.
That made me curious, so I used Grok to look into it, and here’s the response I got:
Yes, Stray Kids have had several songs chart on the Melon Top 100. Here are some notable entries based on available information:
“LALALALA” peaked at #48 on the Melon Top 100, marking their highest peak on this chart as of November 10, 2023.
“S-Class” reached a peak of #56, surpassing their previous high with “Thunderous” at #57. It was their first song to enter the Top 100 on the Melon Daily Chart.
“Chk Chk Boom” peaked at #65 on the Melon Top 100 as of July 19, 2024.
“MANIAC” peaked at #71, and “MEGAVERSE” at #93.
“Thunderous” peaked at #57.
Additional tracks from their Rock-Star EP, including “BLIND SPOT” (#95), “Leave” (#98), and “Cover Me” (#99), also charted on the Melon Top 100.
The B-side track “DOMINO” is noted as another song that charted on the Melon Top 100.
While Stray Kids have achieved international success, their domestic charting on Melon has been less consistent compared to some other K-pop groups, partly due to a smaller Korean fandom relative to groups like BTS or SEVENTEEN. However, their chart performance has improved over time, with songs like “LALALALA” and “S-Class” showing stronger domestic reception.
Is this info accurate? And is it really true that JYP boy groups have had a harder time charting domestically after the 2nd gen?
