Like Crazy by Jimin gets 970k plus streams in US on 2nd day too, rising to top 5 on US Spotify!!! Where is the TTH playlisting????

LITERALLY.

We'll see if it continues to be stable throughout the week...

For once I want all parties to put their biggest talent first and promote them right for longevity. It shouldn't always have to be us when Like Crazy is smash-hit material for US radios.

The way it only got 5 spins...

Good job US ARMY.

Let's hope we will get radio and playlisting soon

It needs radio

Bighit take for granted ARMY’s dedication way too much. They should hustle for radio play and good playlisting. I mean the song is way good and has great streams..

That’s tragic.

Hybe / Jimin massively pay for the spotify payola or they don't. Its really simple. It won't get radio BTW unless its PSY viral and the radio industry has no choice.

This song has GP written all over it

Don't f*ck me around HYBE, get that TTH top 5 on lock NOW

The music industry in general is very simple really, its gotten even less complicated the last 10 years or so with the rise of spotify. What are these complexities are you referring to? Remember all the warm and fuzzy love BTS / Bighit received first arrived in the states with their "Radio" promotions that now relates to a whopping 10 or so spins or whatever they get today as an established artist. Yet somehow an artist never heard from or seen before publicly emerges that every radio station everywhere is suddenly aware of all at at the same time? You can guess the artist and label, btw. I was being told she was just random girl singing in the bedroom at night.

Let’s wait a few days and see whether it gets added to TTH and other playlists or not.

But Jimin is doing so well, Like Crazy is basically Blinding Lights’ sister and THAT was a mega hit.

Congrats Jimin... Im still waiting how BH/Geffen will push this song... Or will still relay on ARMYs to do the pushing!

I'm very aware of all the lore of how stars and born, bred, and promoted in the West. Obviously there's been times where HYBE was willing to benefit from much heavier promotion styles (Columbia-led) which gave them incredible results. The more interesting question is why they have so much trouble navigating this on their own (well, "with Geffen"), and for SUCH a GP-friendly bop in this case to go without a real push towards casual listeners would be very disappointing.

That said I have a strong feeling we're going to see it on TTH shortly.

There is a reason why Columbia backed Dynamite and Butter both on radio and spotify, etc. Those songs were in basically in-house productions, even the CEO had writing credits on Butter. Columbia had all to gain from that collaboration since those were their songs and they were distributing. HYBE and BTS made pretty much nothing from those songs directly and had little to no involvement on production / writing. Those songs essentially were promotions for BTS the group. All BTS and HYBE got from that was the residuals of that deal (that paid big dividends in the end). They essentially sold their creative and financial souls for those tracks. The promotion tactic used here is Columbia makes most of the money and hopefully HYBE / BTS benefit. Let's not get it twisted that those were "BTS" songs being used here.

Like I mentioned in a previous post earlier in another trend. Payola cost artist money, and more money for those outside the big 3.

And still BTS's popularity skyrocketed and HYBE had their highest profits ever. Also super curious how HYBE's "concerns" about K-pop's "growth slowing down" will impact their future promotion styles and decisions on how they budget for releases. Their stubbornness and unwillingness see what's right in front of them is amazing but also incredibly frustrating.

TLDR: HYBE, Like Crazy is a hit, a real hit. Do something about it.
