YG\'S doing really well thanks to Winner , Psy and BB i expect it will get higher once bp and ikon AKMU and lee hi make their comeback. There\'s still SM and JYP to consider though sm (exo ,gg.suju comeback) and JYP\'s got TWICE and GOT7 which means there\'s STRONG competion. But this is still probably YG\'S year since there doing the best this quarter.
