Perfect All-Kill Girl Group Faces Catastrophic Chart Performance Shock

(G)I-DLE Faces Backlash After “Crow” Flops on Korean Music Charts

(G)I-DLE shocked fans as their latest single “Crow” delivered unexpectedly weak chart results in Korea.

The song debuted at No. 8 on Bugs and No. 224 on Genie but completely failed to enter Melon’s main chart.

For a group known for multiple perfect all-kills and consistent chart-topping hits, this sudden drop has sparked major online discussion.

The controversy began when fans noticed the poor performance compared to their previous title tracks like “Tomboy,” “Nxde,” and “Queencard,” which achieved massive success.

Fans quickly reacted online, pointing out that “Crow” was released as a surprise pre-release track with no promotions. Still, many expressed shock at how low it charted.

As the situation unfolded, fans remain divided over the impact of the no-promo surprise release on the group’s digital performance.

(G)I-DLE were once among the strongest digital performers in 4th generation girl groups, making this chart result stand out even more.
