On the iTunes list Taeyang’s ‘I Need a Girl’ is #193!It's cool to see Taeyang there with big names! We hope it’ll keep moving up. Everybody must have this song!!--on the mobile phone, iPhone etc!!
There are a discussion: Why Taeyang hasn’t been topping the charts? We think that is an insolence! Hello?! The deluxe edition of his album is sold out!!
Charting in the music charts in general: It’s a bit hard to understand the real reasons as to why the song is not doing so well. We all know Taeyang is promoting R&B. We think there was too much “over-hype” surrounding the song. look to th list:
1. YG releases info about SOLAR deluxe = initial hype
2. Title track has GD on it = more hype, fangirls gone wild
3. Title track video has Sandara in it = even more hype, fanboys gone wild
4. Previews, previews and more previews = more more more hype
5. YG releases statement that this is the best title track ever = wholy cow, we’re overflowing with hype
6. Preview of music video = oh my, hype nation
7. MV gets put up and then pulled down = wtf?
I think what happened was a post-release withdrawal off “hype” and we’ve got fans scratching their heads going “Was this what I was suppose to knock me off my feet from YG camp?”. That’s not to say the song is so bad, NO NO, but when you get so hyped over something, we don’t think ANYTHING can really statisfy your expectations that you’ve created in your head and that’s another contributing reason.
Besides, Taeyang hasn’t got into his full mode of promotions yet, and we’re a bit confused what’s going on with his MV. There is no visual representation of the song, the performance does't match with what visual representation we would see (ie. LOAM performance choreo, was like the MV…).
Fourthly, Taeyang has more mature fans -- its a known fact therefore, those fans who might spend money on the album aren’t going to go spend money buying the tracks online or voting. Whether they still support Taeyang will be seen in his album sales; which are doing pretty well~
And lastly, you just can't compare LOAM with INAG. LOAM was the first promoted solo song from a member of Big Bang. Two years ago, Big Bang’s fanbase was bigger, a lot of sales and voting was attributed to Big Bang fans voting and since them Big Bang’s fanbase has changed and it’s gotten smaller. We're not saying all of Taeyang’s fans are Big Bang fans but a whole chunk of them are and a whole chunk of them have moved on. Also, kpop has grown music more since then, we’ve practically got a new group debuting each week – and most new groups opt for a “catchy” song to start building their fan base. So expecting INAG to experience the same greatness as LOAM – well, that would be a miracle in itself.
Keep fighting and supporting Taeyang! Actually everybody knows that he's the best and coolest man ever (~not to forget:horny^^)!!
TAEYANG always VIP*.*
