Nayeon puts on a great performance with the title song "POP" (TWICE)
ナヨン、タイトル曲「POP」でステキなステージ見せる（TWICE）
TWICE's Nayeon solo debut album "120,000 copies sold on the first day" - 5th in history
★ According to Hanteo Chart, the first solo album "Im Nayeon", released at 13:00 on the 24th, recorded sales of "123,835 copies" on the first day of release.
Looking at the ranking of first-day album sales for K-POP female solo artists (Hanto Chart standard), this work ranks 5th.
Nayeon's solo debut album has reportedly exceeded "500,000 copies" in pre-orders. The initial counting period was from June 24th to June 30th. It will be interesting to see how much sales will increase in the remaining 6 days.
With her beautiful singing voice, Nayeon can be called TWICE's main vocalist.
Jihyo is the main vocalist, but I think that she and Nayeon are the two main singers of TWICE.
Please don't get the wrong idea. This is not to say that they are both full-fledged singers.
In the early days of TWICE, some K-pop fans didn't see Jihyo and Nayeon as full-fledged singers.
Usually one or two singers from popular girl groups would be mentioned, but rarely from TWICE.
When they were occasionally mentioned, people would say that there were plenty of singers who could sing at that level.
Even though they were the main singers of popular girl groups, at first they were often treated as if they were inferior when Jihyo or Nayeon were mentioned.
As TWICE began to build a large fandom, Jihyo certainly began to be accepted as a talented singer by more and more people.
However, I feel that Nayeon's neglect had continued for a while.
That's why I was hoping that she would clear her name with her solo debut.
According to Hanteo Chart, Nayeon's debut solo album, her first solo album "Im Nayeon," sold 120,000 copies on the first day of release.
Sales of 123,835 copies on the first day of release puts her in 5th place on the first day sales ranking for K-pop female solo artists (Hanto Chart standard).
Only three artists, Lisa and Rosé (BLACKPINK) and IU, have made it to the top.
How should we interpret Nayeon's achievement?
I don't feel like pushing it like, "Look, she's selling well, Nayeon is a good singer after all."
It's true that singers who are good at singing don't necessarily produce hit songs.
Singers who sing songs that make you want to listen to them and hum along (and dance) produce hit songs.
I don't intend to push that idea again.
This is because humans have a "habit" of wanting to rank everything (the world) in the name of (competitions).
This is why the music world is full of competitions, large and small.
Among them, the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition (Belgium), the International Tchaikovsky Competition (Russia), and the International Chopin Piano Competition (Poland) are the most prestigious, and although it is not the Olympics, the four categories of piano, violin, voice, and composition are rotated once every four years, and there is also a vocal (singing) category competition.
However, I am not familiar with these competitions and have no idea who won which competition and when.
The above is just an introduction to the types of competitions that exist if you are strictly competing on singing ability.
The ability of entertainment singers to sing is decided by the public as individuals based on their own preferences.
While there's probably a lot of skill in singing, I think it's also down to the fact that she's brought together the appeal of her singing voice, her looks, her gestures and her aura according to her own standards.
Nayeon ranked highly this time, demonstrating her overall charm (overall rating). For now, I'd say her solo debut was a success.
The public (fans) are fickle, so no one knows what's going to happen next, but...
