Netizens are split over BLACKPINK releasing 40 songs in 7 years
Opinions are divided among netizens regarding BLACKPINK’s release of 40 songs within a span of 7 years.
On July 7th, a post on a popular online community garnered attention after expressing concern over the perceived lack of songs in BLACKPINK’s discography, which currently stands at 40 tracks in their 7-year career. The original poster says these 40 songs include members’ solo songs, collab with other artists, and their album songs. As the group’s contract renewal is approaching, this post caught much attention online.
Some of the comments highlighted BLACKPINK’s musical excellence while others sided with the original poster expressing their concerns over the limited number of songs.
“But instead every single album is high quality. It’s better to come back with legendary songs like BLACKPINK instead of wasting their image with more frequent comebacks with hits and misses. And regardless, they are the top idol after all.”
“So much better to stay at the top than to release lackluster songs and flop.”
“But BLACKPINK is the longest reigning top girl group.”
“Even international fans are tired of their concerts because they have such a limited discography. They always perform the same songs because that’s all they have.”
“I think YG needs to use the outside independent producers. I feel it’s because they are only relying on their in-house producer.”
“Yeah, their concert setlist almost never changes.”
“To be honest you can’t really just blame the label. The members also don’t release their self-composed songs or covers between their comebacks.”
“I am tired of listening to the same songs over and over.”
“All other 3rd gen idols have much more songs. BTS has 331 songs, TWICE has 322 songs, and Seventeen has 195 songs over the same 7-year career. Even LE SSERAFIM who just debuted has 31 songs. This is definitely concerning.”
“Quality over quantity period.”
“I feel aespa and BLACKPINK really don’t release many songs.”
