usually, how many songs do u need to like from an artist to call yourself a fan?

I don't think there is an exact quantity (especially since the amount of music varies from artist to artist). But I think you need to at least enjoy a majority of their work.

Not everything, just most of it.

If you mean how much of their discography you have to like before you’re considered a stan/fan, I don’t have a number per se, because some groups/artists have more songs than others, but I’d say if you like somewhere around 80-85% or more of their discography, you’re fine to use the fan label. Not an exact percentage, but I think that roughly sounds right to me. For a stan, I’ll up the percentage to 90-95% or more. No matter how much you love the group or artist, you’re allowed to have songs you dislike from them. However, if you’re a stan and hate more than half their songs, I’ll be really confused.

If you mean when I considered myself a fan/stan of certain groups I stan, I forget exact numbers of most things, but for BLACKPINK, I think it was most of their discography (I’ll guesstimate about 20 songs), for Stray Kids it was 10 or 15 or something like that and for Dreamnote, it was about five or six songs. This is listed in the order I stanned them, so I guess for my more recently stanned groups, I don’t need to hear as many of their songs before I’m a stan/fan.

I don't think there's a hard number for that. If you like many of their songs and if you're at a point where you look forward for their upcoming releases, maybe you are a fan? At least for me, being a fan is a decision and you should only be the one to set the rules for yourself.

Also, same, I became an ARMY because of LY series.

100 songs at the very least but if the artists dont even have that many in total well sucks to be you or me I guess

aah interesting

personally, i hadn't checked out bts earlier discography when i called myself a fan

If you even want to, you could be specific and say you are a fan of their later work or a fan of their early work.

Like with The Beatles for example, their early songs were more simple. Both instrumentally and lyrically (cutesy lovesongs, you know?), but later down the line, they started experimenting more adding different instruments, sound effects, sounding editing, etc. and delve into more philosophical type lyrics (LSD and hippie stuff haha). So you can see how their first halfish of their career could appeal more to someone or vice versa depending on their taste.

Anyways, to jump off my wiki dump, yeah you can be very semantic if you want to But the "fan" label leaves room to interpretation so that's fine if you're stricter or loser about it. :)

I am kidding, 4-5 title tracks, I am sold

Quote from tetetete

so thats roughly 30 songs

RIP Blink fandom

Idk to me it was the overwhelming feeling of how much I liked them and the music they made (I knew about less than 10 songs at the time) when I realized I was fan

what if it new debut and just have 1 song then?

Quote from tetetete

that's what i'm asking!! is liking 1 song enough for u to call yourself a fan?

yes for me

however it will change if the next song suck

I have to like a album. There has to be an album that I really like to be called a fan. There can be 2-3 misses but if not vibing with multiple albums is a sign for me because as much as I love playlists I also like listening through an album

Quote from tetetete

4-5 title tracks also mean 4-5 albums

so do u need to like the bsides too or is that not a requirement?

I dont listen to bside if possible

Same

And when I realised I love all of their other hundreds songs too, I knew my blood has turned purple

as long as there's enough for me to never get bored of

Hmmm I’ve never really thought about the number of songs to become a fan tbh. If I like an artist it’s obviously because I’ve been enjoying most of what they’ve put out

at least all their title tracks for me, i stanned svt bc i rlly liked all their titles

For me It's not about the quantity. I stanned BLACKPINK and ITZY with 2 songs in their career since they impacted me in their rookie year, meanwhile I love almost Twice's and Red Velvet's whole discography, follow the music since they were rookies and I'm not their fan, nor interested to be more than a casual listener in the future either.

This is because for me to be a fan, more than liking a lot of songs, I need to feel emocionally atractted and interested in the whole package of the group.

3 in a 5 title tracks should be good. If I don't like their title tracks I don't check out the rest of the music.

In short, I will call myself a fan of an artist if they release at least 3 out of 5 title tracks that suit my taste

Music is usually not enough to make me a fan of anything. Pop music is dime a dozen and there’s catchy music everywhere.

For EXO I saw their live concert DVD and that’s what made me a fan of them. It was very impressive.

almost all songs (70%-80% of songs)

At least 5
