IVE’s Attitude on its 3rd day

No hate to IVE at all but their numbers on Attitude are extremely suspicious.

On the first (partial) day, they received only 500k.

Then, on the first full day, they received a million streams in total and the US somehow accounted for half of that. This is despite the fact that all groups who debuted on US Spotify (with all of them receiving around 400k too) within the last year had at least 2.5m streams in total.

Then, on the third day, its total cuts in half and drops by 500k, and it falls off the US chart?

Every song which charted on US Spotify within the last year did so for at least a few days, I don’t think any dropped after its first day.

I have seen some people point out that Kakao recently entered a partnership with Spotify. I don’t know whether this played any part because why would they fall straight away, but I definitely don’t see why people keep bringing up Starship being a small company. They’re still under Kakao just like BeLift is under HYBE

I see this more as an issue on Spotify’s part but I don’t know why people were acting like it’s completely normal and that we were all just hating - especially when any HYBE group would be crucified for the same situation
