1. [+6,408, -309] Easy for journalists to make money these days. Put fandoms in a fight and let the comments roll in.

2. [+5,299, -681] 2NE1's the senior in terms of debut so I don't know why these ranks are even necessary

3. [+4,867, -1,242] 2NE1 wins. They don't have a cheap image at least.

4. [+4,335, -1,065] I really hope 2NE1 brings it back

5. [+1,531, -169] SISTAR has a lot of popularity but it's weird how they don't have much fans

6. [+1,422, -163] T-ara's the nation's anti girl group, why are they even in that? ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+1,184, -87] Realistically, WG and KARA are disbanded, so...

8. [+1,423, -388] Soshi's clearly at the top with 2NE1 under them... I wouldn't consider SISTAR to be in their tier ㅋㅋ

9. [+1,067, -202] Why make the ranks so complicated... Simply, Soshi and 2NE1 are the wall, then f(x), miss A, and SISTAR are following suit... Girl's Day and A Pink still have a long way to go.

10. [+974, -276] f(x) is #2 in album sales, just that their company doesn't support them... I think they're in the same tier as SISTAR. and no matter how hard miss A fails, they'll always be above Girl's Day.
