Of course, just with a mere comparison of the online/offline sales of the two recording companies does not mean the superiority of one over the other can be fully concluded.

this.

and besides, they have different genres. sme is more pop/r&b, while yge is more hiphop. they have different audiences.

Oooooohhhhh, which artists from SM have r&b music? The only thing that comes to mind is possibly SHINee's first album, but if SME has put out more music like that, I'd like to know about it.

the r&b songs are usually the songs in the album that they rarely perform. although dbsk promoted before u go. which i think is very 90s r&b. suju has y in their current album. although it's more r&b lite, i think. sorry sorry answer, too. s&m the ballad's songs are pretty much r&b. and i think in snsd's repackage of oh! they had an acoustic/r&b version of 별별별 (☆★☆).

I'm assuming you're already aware b/c of your icon but DBSK definitely (No?, Honey Funny Bunny, etc.). Probably CSJH too but I'm not familiar with their catalog. SJ or SNSD probably have a handful as well but I don't really listen to either of them. SHINee definitely does past the first album like on Romeo (Talk to You, Hit Me) and Lucifer (Love Pain). JYP is more the R&B company imo but they're not really part of this discussion lol

yeah, if i were to categorize the three companies, sme is definitely more pop, jype r&b, and yge hiphop. although all three dabble with dance music now, i think.

yeah they have to crossover for diversity's sake and their different groups tend to fit different niches but in the most generalizing way that's basically how it breaks down for me

JYP is more the R&B company ???

Are you sure? perhaps a little before but definitely not now

of the three, yes. imo they all put out pop/dance music first and foremost but park jin young will always have a raging boner for rnb music. 2PM's releases from this year and last had quite a few rnb tracks. when 2AM doesn't have straight ballads they have rnb songs. when I hear a song like "help me" or "my list" it's like damn SWV could have sung this, like he comes from a more "purist" orientation as a songwriter. so that's my reasoning. YG obviously is too (I mean Big Bang started out as a B2K copy) but they are more known for their hip hop imo.

My first thought when I saw la la la mv was "oooh B2K"

True, but I think that JYPE need to take a rest now, 2pm and WG last albums were not very good.I though YB was mixed the first time I saw the MV, I missed his old style :-(

lol I think Wonder Girls had the best kpop album of the year. 2PM... idk what is going on with them. They've been in a weird place for a while. I do think JYPE is rly overextended rn but they can't really take a break if they want to maintain/gain back their position in the industry.

and yeah a lot of people thought that lol. by old style do you mean his hair/clothing or music?

I didn't listen to the WG last album to be honest, "irony" was the only song that I really like from them, the other looks all the same for me. Don't let me started with 2pm...

About YB: Clothings/hair (hate the blond think in his hair now), he looks so good in hip hop style. I really don't like his actual style (skinny jeans, glasses, always in black...)

lol you said it wasn't good w/o listening to it? k.

he def could use a change. He's kinda top heavy already so when he wears big jackets + skinny jeans he looks so unbalanced. I think all of YG needs a style overhaul tbh. They all look like they robbed a karmaloop in 2008
