That's funny. There doesn't seem to be much difference for most of the artists?

interesting

BTS is never that strong in China, and never depended on China market, so their numbers won’t be that influenced by this. But many China strong groups will have a massive increase, so congrats!

Billboard being shady. I wonder what kind of deal they got to be kissing up to China now. I'm expecting chinese artists to start showing up on billboard now then. Kpop out and chinese artists in.

4. [+118, -238] Why are ARMYs saying that BTS has never been promoted in China?? Groups that can’t be promoted in China are BLACKPINK, Seventeen, and NCTㅋㅋㅋ They released the Chinese version until 2016 and they did all the performances, fan meetings and interviews in Chinaㅋㅋㅋ

lmao that's a lie. BTS only released the Chinese version of 1 of their songs, Boy in Luv, after their debut. They did not promote heavily. They only appeared in a few shows for the first two years after their debut, that's all. Everyone also knows that BTS was heavily banned after their speech. Some fans were even subjected to physical violence. Also, BTS' songs were only available on 1 Chinese site until this year. This should also be noted. But if you look carefully at the chart, you'll see that BTS made more profits than groups that sold more than themselves.

Why pretend that bulk buying is actually banned?

All they did was stop allowing multiple purchases with a single account.

C-Fans will now just create multiple accounts and viola mass buying still exists. Just like on Bugs, Genie, iTunes etc.

Only issues now is that's it's a lot more work but c-fans go above and beyond to boost their faves numbers when it comes to streming, mass-buying, voting etc. Creating thousands of accounts is no big deal for them.
