Fun chart fact: The original version of "Shake It," performed by Sistar (@sistarsistar), peaked at No. 6 on the World Digital Song Sales chart when released in 2015
Both LOONA and Sistar's @officialhyolyn_ are competing in #Queendom2, rewriting history together 👑❤️

"Ponytail" is so great and a huge step for @yugyeom as a solo artist. It's got a vibe that will last til summer, everyone's gotta keep this one bookmarked for best of 2023 lists because it's already an early standout. Can't wait for the video! twitter.com/yugyeom/status…

I've been conservative with my predictions on ATEEZ since the last album that was available physically in the U.S. was not in traditional retailers and it led to skewed predictions. But more traditional retailers are being used this time and I went to a direct source this time :)

📈📈 Updated industry predictions have ENHYPEN's 'MANIFESTO : DAY 1' earning nearly 32k units (31k in albums, 1k in streaming) this week, which can likely send it to the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, though Nos. 8-12 are close
The full update of the Top 10 should come on Sunday!

Of course we couldn't end the year without the best K-pop albums of 2022. These are the projects that connect far beyond a hit single and speak to the importance of larger, full bodies of work
