19k ??? That's huge ! Really didn't expect that much since the album is coming out in a few days. The last time Korean artist did so (U-Kiss and 2ne1) they only sold about 3k of their single while their album did about 20k. Well, those are flop artists in Japan but still, 19k is an amazing feature. Now there's hope the album will break the 100k margin within its first week.

They're not flopping. The album is being released now, Lovey Dovey single was just an appetizer. Who's going to splash its cash on a single when a week later we can get the full album for a few extra yen ? If Lovey Dovey single sold 10k that would already be an amazing feature, Kara didn't much better the last time they did so and the album went on to sell hundred of thousands. Just learn your history before bashing.

I don't think the member line up means there are going to be new member in and old member out...
I think what CCM's CEO said is their position or something (like the main singer and main dancer)...
They're not stupid enough to drop a member from their most rising star, aren't they???

For those who had questioned T-ara's ability to maintain its streak, a collective data on T-ara latest released songs, Cry Cry, We Were in Love (with Davichi) and Lovey Dovey proves that Roly Poly will not be the only song from T-ara to make history on Korean music charts.

- As the highest number of downloads is achieved the first days then gradually decreases, the number of days a song charted on its first week is affecting the numbers for all following weeks.
- Roly Poly was released during a high peak period were downloads were very important
- Both We Were In Love and Lovey Dovey were released during a low peak period.

[12.02.18] Video HD - T-ara @ Kpop Billboard 100 Interview







***
cr: KoreaBillboard@yt

This is the most ridiculous controversy I've ever seen. Especially when the one who shgould have been offended would be the French reporters but none of them actually noticed anything particular that day. And I know for sure since some of my co-workers attended the press conference.

Thanks for posting! This is a very very nice read. It seems this interview was done in a light atmosphere and it was great to have a perspective of what their hopes are now, their future goals and their current condition.
"The power of Transformation" - this pretty much sums up T-ara's strength and this got them to be one of the top groups in Korea now.
Their company telling them they don't fit the cute and innocent song like other girl groups had me laughing. Well they fit all kinds of concept so I bet they could also pull off that one.
I also agree with Malvius. T-ara is now in the position to seriously contend with SNSD as the #1 Girl Group in Korea with all their nonstop release of hit songs. I hope they won't jump into the bandwagon of debuting in USA or Europe just yet.
There is a lot more in store for T-ara in the future with their positive attitude, charming personalities and talent. I'm so excited for them and their future activities whether a solo artist or as a group. Will be cheering and hoping the best for them as always.
