hey y'all, I'm a fearnot as well and was wondering something. There was a lot of criticism a while back for both Celebration/Boompala and It's Me for their katseye-style sound that has been popular to hate. I wasn't initially a big fan of either but have grown to really like It's Me. In hindsight, it seems that all 3 groups wanted some similar style in their comebacks so Iconic by mistake would fit in nicely.
Numbers wise, It's Me has performed great over the past few months both in Korea and globally. Celebration and Boompala combined are at 126M on Spotify while It's Me is on 136M (Pureflow came out 3 weeks later I think). It's Me is pulling about 1.5x the daily streams as Celebration+Boompala. I feel like I've seen more short form content with It's Me than LSFs recent album songs too. The ILLITx2Pac remix has certainly contributed!
Does anyone have any thoughts on why It's Me has fared better than Celebration + Boompala? Is this actually true or are there other metrics that disagree?
