Girl Groups Who's Singles "Failed"

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

Although top groups are known for producing quality music, not every song that they come out with become instant hits.

In fact, netizens recently discussed the industry’s top girl groups and songs they’ve released that have been considered flops.

And although the responses regarding the list has been controversial, netizens seem to agree with the fact that girl group SISTAR seems to have had no flop songs since their debut.

Wonder Girls – “Like This” (2012)
Girls’ Generation – “Mr. Mr.” (2014)
After School – “Shampoo” (2011)
2NE1 – “Do You Love Me”(2013)
4minute – “Watcha Doin Today” (2014)
f(x) – “Red Light”(2014)
SECRET – “Yoohoo” (2013)
SISTAR – None
miss A – “I Don’t Need a Man” (2012)
Apink – “Hush” (2012)
EXID – “Every Night” (2012)
AOA – “Confused” (2013)
Red Velvet – “Be Natural” (2014)

Netizens
1. [+ 204, – 46] 4MINUTE’s “Hate You” is such an awful song
2. [+ 199, – 39] Girls’ Generation’s “Mr Mr” was amazing and f(x) was amazing during “Red Light.” Same with Red Velvet and Wondr Girls, they aren’t at a level where you can touch, please take these down
3. [+ 113, – 178] I thought Girls’ Generation’s “Mr Mr” was god awful

mr. mr. and every night are great tho.

red light would have been such a jam if the chorus wasn't terrible. the verses were so good, why that trashy jarring chorus?? god

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

Confused about some of these choices; is Red Light considered a flop?? I know they halted promos early, but most people love that song/era. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And Like This was def way before my time, but it's one of the first songs I think of when I think "Wonder Girls" so that surprises me too.

EVERY NIGHT THOUGH UGHHH it's sooooo good. I wish EXID would release more title tracks like this.

[mjmjchick.livejournal.com]

I remember "Like This" specifically because I was in Italy around the time that Wonder Party was released (but I wasn't into KPop then), and Arirang was one of the only channels I was interested in watching in my hotel room that wasn't the news. I remember liking it...sort of. LOL

Hate has actually grown on me. I hated it at first because of the drop, but it's my go-to study track.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

i love red light lol

[mya13.livejournal.com]

idg y be natural is on this list when that song is a cover....

hush is apinks best song after luv for me.

lots of the songs on this list are awful/boring

[patentpending.livejournal.com]

Uuh, I don't remember Push Push doing well?

[kamoku-ayame.livejournal.com]

I was a fan during the "How Dare You" days and I don't remember that being successful either? Or is it because they slowly kept getting popular rather than doing well and then having a flop?

[a-seagreen.livejournal.com]

aww i loved a pink's hush. mr mr and red light were awful tho

[kwonsoonyoung.livejournal.com]

i loved red light and shampoo :< for me, shampoo is one of the best as songs tbh

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Shampoo too!

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

Mr.Mr and Shampoo are actually some of my favorite songs by their respective groups.
Still unsure if I like or dislike that Miss A song, I grew to like it but then got sick of it quickly?
I haven't heard some of the songs on this list but I like 2ne1's, fx, and WG songs here lol

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

Most of these songs are definitely not flops.

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

dylm is my go to exercise song.
it seems like blackjacks hated all those one off singles, but i loved them all!

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

2ne1 was my first kpop group, i got into them during that era and i loved that sh*t
this was also before i was critical of anything lol but i still like those singles, idk if you would consider I Love You part of that era as well but that's my fav 2ne1 song of all time

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

i loved mr.mr and i learned all the words so i could sing along to it lmfao

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

ummmmm yoohoo got more than what it deserved lol that song was awful
exid every night needs to be at the top of this list :(
from what i remember shampoo did well???? or am i being biased because it was the laST COMEBACK WITH BEKAH I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU PLEDIS

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Though I love Red Light now, I still have my gripes about the verses and chorus. But I don't think it was a flop? I love Whatcha Doin Today, though! And the choreo, it was so fun to learn.

Mr Mr was horrid, as was Do You Love Me (though the video was fun), and it was the only single of that 2013 bunch that I didn't like. But were they flops?

I don't like TMB or Shake It, so Idk how those were so popular, lol. But do you, Sistar.

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

'Like This' is an instant party jam. Everytime I watch the video it fills me with such joy and I almost want to burst into tears? XD

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

It's so fun, I don't understand how anyone could hate it like pure fun.

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

Mr Mr is the only Girl's Generation song I like.


And I love A-Pink's Hush and AOA's Confused =(

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

Mr Mr was everything, probably my most played 2014 song #comeatme

Re: SALES COUNT

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

bless you

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

I never understood why so many people love "Every Night". I find "I Feel Good" the far superior single and "Think About" the most neglected bop.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

I Feel Good was everything and the song that hot me into EXID, they need to go back to that sound. I was so disappointed when they released Up & Down versions .02 and .03...if they release version .04 for their next comeback, I'll have to drop 'em.

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

wouldn't it be you think for snsd? wasn't it considered a title tack too?

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

Usually I equate You Think to Automatic. Both groups had "double" title tracks. They only planned to promote You Think for a week and it was always supposed to be a "gift" to fans. But I am also a stan of Girls' Generation so you could ignore me, lol.


But You Think did really bad. Like peaked at 56 on Gayo and sold around 150k.

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

I don't like Mr Mr. Not to say I'd never listen to it, but when it comes to SNSD title songs it's probably my least fav.

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

lot of great songs on that list
personally wrt EXID, i prefer Call to Every Night
and confused may not be AOA's best song but their visuals during that era were 😲💦

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

Admittedly, IDNAM is my least fave missA song sonically, but lyrically, it's one of my faves.

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

idek mr mr >>>igab

[lettace.livejournal.com]

i don't need a man didn't flop at all lol
it was up against gangnam style and some other song

[lettace.livejournal.com]

oo it was up against bloom by ga-in

ok this list doesn't make sense for a lot of groups lol
wonder girls' like this was popular at the time and despite the drama around red light it did well digitally (almost sold 100k copies)
