2NE1 is indeed one of the biggest selling girl groups but in Korea. Their international fan base isn't even that big. None of their songs has ever gone top 100 on US iTunes (the only Korean groups that have charted high there are BTS, BigBang, EXO and surprisingly enough, BLACKPINK) so again, why would a solo CL song smash right out of the gate? It's just not realistic.
With a market as big as the US it takes time to build a fanbase and find the right song. If she releases a few more songs after this that's perfectly fine bc these things take time, especially for someone like CL. You'd think some of you would be more understanding about stuff like this.
