Comments
Anyone commenting on this article that "blackpink is blah blah blah and twice is more good than blackpink" you know what just shut the fuck up because lets just admit it that blackpink is more popular and they are queens dont ever compare my queens to your twice shit coz even when you walk down the streets here on uk they will all say that they dont like your TWIICEEE because their so called "cute voice on their songs" it makes them sick like if its me i will vomit and you like that kind of songs damn disgusting
Kanang ga comment dri nga dapat twice ang number 1 natog mo? Pang jaban tamo ron paghilom mo basin nyag naaa
Charty. Hird.
I think that this vote was not necessary because we all know that Blackpink is the most famous, most distinguished and best group not only in K-Pop, but in the whole world. I do not think that there is a person who does not know Blackpink. They are really advantages away from the boring and common kindness of K-Pop, with my respect to all teams
Blackpink the best group girl in the world of course she’s like a queens and so pretty and hot omg and do popular the best ❤️❤️
I love BLACKPINK cause they are the first group to make me really interested in kpop and stan a lot of group other wise i was a casual kpop listener mainly big bang. And i hate to say this but i don't know why people can hate them. I mean if you dont like blackpink than don't listen to their music. Yes, most blinks are toxic and they love to show off BLACKPINK'S success but just beacuse some blinks are toxic doesnt mean that you guys have to make rude comments about blackpink. And from the comment section i can clearly see that it's the once who are talking shit about blackpink. Am gonna be honest i like more of twice but other than that i don't like any other song of twice cause it's too cutesy for me but they are great group definitely one with a strong fan base and i admire that but once don't talk shit about blackpink. Even if you dont like them at least respect them as a human and be a human. And about shipping blackpink with bts its not every blink. Only member of fandom of both group are shipping them for fun. I don't ship them and i don't want them to be together also cause if they do happen to be in relationship which i hope they don't like ever am sure my girls would be the one bearing all the hate comments.
I think every group is good. I stan blackpink and the one's who don't are mostly against them. I can't get the point why people don't more focus on their group but instead give hate to others. But it has no effect on other group's cuz if they are successful the are.
BLACKPINK
Blackpink is awsome

BLACKPINK
The queens stay queens
Best blink
Ha how you like that
Queens❤
Funny how twice fandom calling blackpink a trash and there music is not good... We dont care!
Blackpink shouldnt be on top. I mean blinks are so toxic they take it to another level. The girls are so amazing but the music is horrible, the fandoms are toxic and they ship btsxblackpink when bts said not to. like i saw an army tweet a cute jimin vid then some toxic blink hated on it . i mean toxic asf! im not saying armies are good too, they have toxics aswell. but the most toxic ones are blinks . i mean their music is horrible, look at hylt. the only good parts are lisa's rap and jennie's , the rest is look at me now look at you , hylt . plus , yg is favouring jennie and not giving the rest that many lines . its so annoying , i dont get why people stan blackpink . the fandom is problematic , the music is horrible. thats why i unstanned bp. just saying , toxic blinks ofc will come at me but idc.
My opinion is oh!GG.There first was amazing and i love it.SNSD should be in the list.I like TWICE also.Blackpink is not active and all over these years they still don't have a full album .Ithink they are not successful in their career.
girls generation and gfriend and ed velvet
TWICE is number 1, not BLACKPINK. Even search it up. TWICE is bigger then BLACKPINK. And they're better in my opinion-
It's so funny reading all the comments
Blackpink is trash though. They dont write, produce, or choreograph any of their “music”. They dont sing live either. Theyre just pretty girl that have people do everything for them. Stan REAL Talent: stan mamamoo, g-idle, clc, and kard.
TWICE is the best forever !!! Their group is perfection...
I don’t think the order is correct in my opinion it should be
1-TWICE
2-BLACKPINK
3-RED VELVET
4-GFRIEND
5-MAMAMOO
6-ITZY
7-IZ*ONE
8-(G)-IDLE
9-OH MY GIRL
10-MOMOLAND

It's very obvious to be BLACKPINK on first.... No wonder they are the real queens ✌️✌️... Blinks love you BLACKPINK... Keep rocking..!!saranghaeyo ❣️❣️
Everglow only has alot of views on MVs, but not in sales and market, so I think its strange to put it up so high in the charts. Like, why is SNSD, Mamamoo and EXID so low when they have a bigger fanbase, higher sales and a bigger market in Korea AND internationally?
Mamamoo!!! Soooo Talented but not so popular but it's alright
Nobody talks about everglow. They are so amazing. The groups I stan: everglow, red velvet, blackpink, Mamamoo.
the heck where is g idle gosh
I am a blink witch mean I love black pink and I personally think they should be first out of girls and boys I mean u should listen to “how you like that” it is awesome so I think blackpink is the best of them all but but sis is a blink And army which is for bts so I don’t mind bts being second well black pink should be first and bts should be second is what I personally thing
Well this list doesn't really makes sense. Objectively, I would say the most popular GG in 2020 are
1-BLACKPINK
2-TWICE
3-RED VELVET
4-GFRIEND
5-MAMAMOO
6-ITZY
7-IZ*ONE
8-(G)-IDLE
9-OH MY GIRL
10-MOMOLAND
Diana, I think you need to ACTUALLY get aquatinted with Kpop girl groups other than BP

Everglow Queen
Where is g idle
Mamamoo and iz*one deserves better.
Blackpink

TWICE ARE QUEENS
Actually BLACKPINK is just popular in america and did only break the records of YouTube view but no other ones their albums never sold out their concerts never sold out but was just a lie to make them seem more popular but believe me BLACKPINK is a group with catchy music but views have nothing to do with the popularity maybe follows but when you think about it they aren't as popular as people think
BLACKPIK
Blackpink ily ♥️♥️
Actually itzy was better than gfriend lol
I thought itzy is placed 4th at least and I'm so shocked wtf
Itzy should be in everglow place they don't even have any achievements who the hell are you trying to fool
I love blackpink cuz they r my friends.......I have their mobile number .......I talk with them twice a week..
Where is (G)I-DLE????
BLACKPINK is the revolution.
Blackpink in your area!
Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa queens of my heart.

BLACKPINK IS QUEEN FROM KPOP BAND FROM GIRLS I LOVE BLACKPINK FOREVER AND EVER
My favourite K-pop band is blackpink I love black pink forever I wish black pink stay forever and ever
My favourite K-pop band is Blackpink. Because I love black pink very much and from K-pop band boys I like bts
Blackpink is not a successful group.
How is blackpink popular when they haven’t had a new comeback in more than a year
Blackpink best kpop girl group, and BTS best Kpop boy group. Both groups has massive success and known worldwide.
black punk is good than twice
Sorry to say about it but BLACKPINK is another level of global sensation,you can lie they lipsync or dont have top sale album but yes they still can do better with only 1 comeback per year,coachella live,only have 2 mini album,less music,asian is not only about Korean,Chinease or Japan,Even big artist like ariana grande,lady gaga and many more said BLACKPINK is talent group,and there haters still not ready about this conversation.Thats the tea.
I think twice is more than famous than bp.
1.Everglow 2.Itzy 3.Blackpink byt mostly everglow
Blackpink , Itzy , Red Velvet , Mamamoo , Twice and EXID but mostly Blackpink
1.TWICE 2.BLACKPINK 3.ITZY

Not only Blackpink is best, Twice is also much good. And SNSD too. I don't know, why did people only vote Blackpink the most? There is Oh!GG too. And why did people like Mamamoo more than Red Velvet? I like Mamamoo too. I am ONCE.
