BTS beat IU in today's Music bank - now BTS has the same number of #1s as SNSD

BTS' Dynamite, released August 21, 2020 (and six months and 5 days old), defeated Lee Jieun's Celebrity, released January 27, 2021, a month old.

Which shows not too many releases in the last few weeks have captured people's attention.

Traditionally Feb is a slower month in KPop,but this is surreal in my opinion.If Kim Wooseok did not release an album a couple weeks ago, this fight might have taken place last week with IU beating BTS in what I think is a meaningless bout since neither showed up to the show.

At least Shinee has released a new album so it will end this farce next week, but Shinee is not a new act either.

BTS has won 42 music bank shows, tying SNSD's record, but SNSD's record is a bit skewed because it has two yearly #1s which is included in there. (Yearly #1s were awarded to Wonder Girls, TVXQ, SNSD (two times), IU, Psy and Cho Yongpil, but was stopped from 2014 because at that time SM produced MusicBank and no SM singer was likely to win the yearly #1 by 2014 - if it had been awarded Lee Jieun(and Kim Changwan)'s 'The Meaning of You', with no regular #1s, would have won the yearly #1!).

So BTS already broke SNSD's most music bank wins on Jan 6, 2021, something which was buried under the circus at Capitol Hill on that same day.

But I'm more worried about the weaker showing of newer acts, because the fight between two Senior Singers (BTS - Lifetime Award from Gaon on 2019, IU - Lifetime Award from MAMA on 2014) will be broken by Shinee, which debuted 2008, while the newer acts are helpless and have to watch these acts still fighting at the top

So now even BTS gets the much vaunted senior singer tag from you

Yes, although in terms of seniority, IU became a senior singer before BTS so IU is more senior.

I have a question. What is the prediction of next week 's music Bank win? Will Dynamite win & break the decades old record?

Cs Dynamite is now on tie for most music show wins from a single song.

I want to know...

Thanks in advance.

Psy's Gangnam Style has won 16 times on MusicBank (plus the year-end) so Dynamite's 15th win is a win shy.

And, since more singers will release new albums in March, it all comes down to next week if BTS, who reportedly sold 100,000 albums this week, can beat Shinee, which has sold about 100,000 this week as well, on next Friday.

Shinee is not done yet either so it will be very close

I meant "Invisible Love" song's "Most music show wins" record. It achieved 31 music show wins on 1992, the most for any song in history. And Dynamite is now tied with it.

And your sig is really cute as it is IU!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I wanted to use Hotel Del Luna's gun image .

Tomorrow's music core will be claimed by Celebrity since Music Core does not count songs more than 6 months old. Same for Inkigayo, where the number of #1 for a song is capped at 3. So next week's Music Bank will decide it

Invisible Love is Shin Seunghoon's classic ballad from 1992, but at that time SBS, a new station, gave it an excessive number of wins to gain notoriety to Inkigayo (which has been there since SBS was founded and is its longest running show, btw).

Next week is BTS' last chance to win, so we'll see what happens.

It appears Shinee has a slight edge, since it appeared on every single show it could.
