"Girl idol groups and boy bands usually don't fizzle out quickly but maybe my biting attacks last week jinxed their sophomore week. While last week's No. 3 song "Mirai Bowl" dropped out having just sold 5% of what it sold last week, NYC is not doing great either, selling just 9% of what it sold last week.
