You would think a BTS member solo doing this well in US would get playlisting on the biggest US centric playlists

Unfortunately they are from BH

Songs like My Universe and LnR that are not from Big Hit have bigger playlist reach...

Amazing! Amazing!

So glad On The Street doing this well in US spotify

happy the song is doing so well! expecially since it's the song with a legend like jcole & hobi's big idol.

also, are you asking hybe to spend bts' money ON BTS?? how dare you...

That’s what make BTS and its members so impressive. They never had it easy.

but still prevail and excel!

Jimin is releasing English version, let's see if it gets playlsiting or not. Radios posted about it so I've a feeling it might get some radioplay.

let’s see if they go hard for jimin’s single.

Radio is separate issue. But they should get playlisting no matter if it's eng or korean song

Ah yes the play-listing complaint. People don't understand spotify play-listing is literally the new "payola" in the industry, worse than than the old radio system.

Spotify are literal gatekeepers.

This can't be stressed enough. The artist literally has to be under one of the "big" labels, an industry plan, or literally has to give up royalties, etc to get this play-listing.

I don't think OP is trying to praise either, just pointing out how Hybe continues to have negative effort for Bangtan solo work

Quote from paradis

Yes everyone in the world should get playlisting, even when they aren't established or have sufficient streams, but not BTS solos cause they are supposed to be the ones to uphold ethics and integrity in the industry. Also your distribution only remark is bullshit cause BTS have received playlisting as a group on the biggest playlists while being in a distribution only deal.

If you are referring to "Dynamite" and "Butter", you might want to check who "produced" and "wrote" those songs and think about why it received industry "support". Those songs were literally "promos" for the group.

So who is paying? The label? The artist? Both? The "industry" doesn't want Hybe or BTS there. They want the company, group, and their fans to go away and not disrupt their status quo. There is a reason why their radio promos faded after time, it was too costly for both label and artist. Same thing happening here.
