Why can Blackpink smash with Korean songs but not Bts?

  • Why BTS have to sing in English to get global hits but BP don’t have to?

  • where is the smash when spotify streams are tanking now? look at the billboard charts

  • Boy With Luv and My Universe are bigger than any Blackpink song. Korean or English doesn't matter. Blackpink will always be behind bts everywhere.

    Your fandom has only this chart to brag about because of how low streams blackpink's highly anticipated album is doing right now even with all the push. Life goes on, yet to come had more streams than shut down unfiltered streams but didn't go number 1 is enough to show how easy it is get number 1.

    Now is the time your fandom should shut up with this embarrassing performance but still busy dragging other groups.

    So BTS had multiple cmb for the past 2 years since the last BP cmb, on different times and dates and none where in a time when it was easy for them to get 1 but BP cmb 2 times I around 1 month and they get it twice


    Like...that's not logical

    Blinks believe everything this blink chart accounts say. These anons are lying less than blink chart accounts.

  • 70% of their lyrics are in English anyway, they just fit some korean words in their songs for aesthetic. If there is any group that seeks western validation the most, it's blackpink!

    The ""korean"" song in question...

  • BTS did a lot of features with big western artists so their songs are bigger. They will never do Blackpink’s or Lisa’s level with a Korean song and just them. They’re too afraid to even try. Their fans are hiding behind it’s a ballad that’s why it didn’t do well but BTS have mostly established themselves in the west for their music with collaborations. If someone wants to bring up their concert power there is no denying they have the biggest fanbase. But just like how in Korea boy groups with bad digitals can still sell out concert halls, concert doesn’t tell us who has more casual listeners. And blackpink has for a long time now had the bigger listener base than them without being influenced by western artist’s popularity.

  • There is almost no korean in bp songs lmao

    Its possible. Depending on when your release.

    BTS was blocked by Cardi and Olivia.

    That's the sad part. Bts never release during empty period. All of their song releases are when someone is smashing or going viral. That's why yet to come, life goes on, permission to dance, my universe who all have more streams than shut down didn't go number 1. Even jungkook's collab left n right has more streams than shut down but it was released when bad bunny was smashing. Heck they would have had their bside run bts at number 1 if bp and bts swap their release schedules.

    People forget placement on a chart is relative to competition.


    Like Butter peaked at #2 with 11M Streams...


    Multiple BTS songs (both korean and english) had bigger debut streams than Shut Down (eg. YTC, MU, PTD, Butter, L&R)....

    fun fact: had butter been released right now.. it would have been #1 for probably over 2 weeks...


    Shut Down benefits from the fact right now that there have been no big releases in ages and the compeition on the chart is lower than it normally is (there have been times when it was even lower this year where you could get #1 with 4M... with that sort of number even BWL could have gone #1)


    Meanwhile when BTS release... there is normally always a viral song at the time...

    Butter - G4U

    YTC - As it Was and Running Up That Hill

    Dynamite - WAP

    LGO - Dakiti (and dynamite lol)

    PTD - Stay

    Blackpink have bigger listen base than bts :cryingr: Blinks and their delusions.

  • the absolute delusion of blinks

    please enjoy this cb, it could very well be the last one

    and i don't think you want them to end with the numbers they pulled now

  • Clearly OP is not a blink and trying to set up bp as all these other threads in anons but armys take the bait. Sighhhh

    We have seen blinks set up their own faves in anons to drag other groups. I won’t be surprised if it’s you guys again

    :pepe-narrow-eyes: You are definitely not a blink. This feels like a very good setup to get BP dragged

  • Blinks will not be happy unless they compare any of BP’s achievements with BTS. And don’t say this is a set up because even on the mains we can see this. The desperation to be on BTS level is real!!

  • the lyrics are topnotch nonsense! ohmygod. :pepe-hehe:

  • :pepe-cringe: All the excuses from Army...... embarrassing lol. Oh how the mighty have fallen :pepe-army:

  • Boy With Luv is the last time BTS really dominated with a Korean song. Black Swan, Life Goes On, On and Yet to Come were various degrees of floppage when compared to Hou You Like That, Lovesick Girls, Pink Venom and Shut Down.

    My universe is as Korean as those 4 and bigger than all. Life goes on has more streams than all except hylt. It is bigger than any of blackpink collabs and English songs. Shut down is doing worse than yet to come. Black Swan isn't even a single.


    Blinks are not even hiding their insecurity anymore. Your faves just gave you new songs after 2 years and you are busy dragging other groups older projects.


    You guys are talking about English songs when this bp album has more English songs than bts did throughout their career. Bp's more than half discography is in English. It is not bts fault blackpink collabs always fail even though they have collabed with bigger artists than bts.

    Don't act like your fandom has been begging for English songs or collabs with biggest celebs. Even though you have already gotten ton of them. Focus on your faves.


  • What is this ranting? How u like that and Lovesickgirls probably have more digital gaon points than all five of those BTS Korean songs put together. Pink venoom and Shut Down are just piling on at this point. It's a bloodbath.

  • Boy With Luv is the last time BTS really dominated with a Korean song. Black Swan, Life Goes On, On and Yet to Come were various degrees of floppage when compared to Hou You Like That, Lovesick Girls, Pink Venom and Shut Down.

    Because Boy With Luv is the last Korean pop song that BTS did??? LGO, YTC & Black Swan is not a single material and is not meant to be a hit like BWL hence the promos are kinda lacking if we compared it with BWL era.


    Like you're telling me Blackpink won't have differing results if they completely go out of their safe box and release ballads, or something similar genre like Black Swan or ON?? They cannot even hold their hype from releasing back to back despite not deviating from their same song formula and structure & mv productions 💀


    YG doesn't trust Blackpink's power enough for a good reason. Get off of your high horse. Be grateful that BTS isn't formulaic & very safe like Blackpink otherwise y'all be crying & throwing up if they released more dance pop track as their single or title tracks either it's in English or Korean 🤡🤡🤡

  • Its possible. Depending on when your release.

    BTS was blocked by Cardi and Olivia

    and all the other release? like bts got nearly 6-7 song releasr as singles/cmbs/duo etc etc since bp 2020 cmb


    are u telling me that in all those dates there was always someone that block them but there is nobody that block bp around august 19 and sep16 of 2022?

  • Boy With Luv is the last time BTS really dominated with a Korean song. Black Swan, Life Goes On, On and Yet to Come were various degrees of floppage when compared to Hou You Like That, Lovesick Girls, Pink Venom and Shut Down.

    Exactly, they have been riding the flopcoaster for awhile now sadly. The interest is slowly fading, gone are the days of cheering for bts being seen as a trendy, cool thing to do. The novelty that was bts is over. Deep down army know this, they just need to accept it :borahae:

    IVE blocked BP twice and its hilarious

    While BP's novelty hasn't even started.


    Sad :pepe-sad:


    deep down, Blinks just have to accept it.

  • Smashed? BP underperformed after a 2 year hiatus with all the big promo. SD is not hit anywhere but in the Blinkcity where Blinks make up their own records to stay happy.

    The set up 💀


    BTS 'flop' era is Blackpink's 'best' era then. The gag is Blackpink will always be behind BTS in popularity, relevancy & song popularity hit wise. They will never reach BTS highest achievements and deep down blinks know this, they just need to accept it 💜


    The fact that Blinks will forever hide in Anons and don't have the balls to say this in main cause they know it's not true. Just a mere delusion thoughts & wishful thinking 😁

  • What is this ranting? How u like that and Lovesickgirls probably have more digital gaon points than all five of those BTS Korean songs put together. Pink venoom and Shut Down are just piling on at this point. It's a bloodbath.

    Where did digital points come from? And what is this cherrypicking? You want me to pick and choose? It will be embarrassing for blackpink.

    BTS have more digital points in a year than blackpink have in their career. BTS have more sales in a year than blackpink have in their career. BTS have more streams in a year than blackpink have in their career. BTS have sold more tickets in a year than blackpink have in their career. I don't have to count more than a year of BTS to make blackpink's career.


    Instead of trying to find reasons to drag BTS you lot should concentrate on your faves. They released an album after 2 years and it is tanking. If not for that spotify deal rose got through her *uhm* "connection" it would be embarrassing. Shut down has less streams than yet to come which is a flop for bts. That album is getting lower streams than 2020 albums.


    and all the other release? like bts got nearly 6-7 song releasr as singles/cmbs/duo etc etc since bp 2020 cmb

    Butter - G4U

    YTC - As it Was and Running Up That Hill

    Dynamite - WAP

    LGO - Dakiti

    PTD - Stay


    All of these are real viral songs unlike money. All of these have more than 1.5billion spotify streams.

    Why are you acting like chart positions aren't dependent on other songs released around that time? Did you ever think why pink venom and shut down didn't go number 1 on melon? Because they are competing with popular songs there.

    Why are you acting like ptd, dynamite, butter, lgo, ytc did not have more streams than your faves songs which are going number 1? Heck even jungkook collab has more streams than black pink title track.


    Focus on your faves.

  • How is BP smashing? Literally nobody talks about the songs but blinks. 2 years worth of hype and shady Spotify deals only for them to underperform.

  • BTS did a lot of features with big western artists so their songs are bigger. They will never do Blackpink’s or Lisa’s level with a Korean song and just them. They’re too afraid to even try.

    You must have forgotten ON and Fake Love. The only reason BP reached #13 of Top 100 was because of Selena collaboration. This time around, they were very lucky to have hit the weakest weeks on the charts this year.


    Let's face it. There's no denying BP will never reach this status:

    Peace :-)
