Success stans riiiiiiise

K-armys are finally awakening. I haven't feel their presence after BTS dropped MOTS:7 tbh. Cause Dynamite and the rest of BTS hits are on the GP.

This is Hot 100 media attention in effect, right? Exact same thing happened with Dynamite iirc. It didnt peak until a month after debut, got over 700k ULs in late Sept i think.

They are discovering the Jazz rendition of Like Crazy

wow an underperforming king jimin! flop like jimin

It’s a really great song, I’m happy that Koreans are realising that now (even though it’s because of Hot100 news, but so what? No solo has achieved this before!!)

Hitting new UL peaks every hour

I was wondering if this would happen…

How nice for Jimin :)

Koreans are such success stans lmao but we'll take it

I'm already satisfied with his results in k-charts before Hot 100 announcement so this is just a plus but not really important to his overall achievements.

Jimin already made history, no one will take that away from him

Some thoughts

In order to have a hit you cannot only rely on fandom streaming you need the so called “general public” to dig in

And unlike fans or music devotees they don’t sit around and wait for a song they randomly notice it by promotion.

In SK there is also the importance of playlisting in bars, cafes etc which tend to favor cheerful songs or ballads

Like crazy has a somewhat darker lyrics

This is ofc also a way to discover new songs

If a song that is all over every news outlet suddenly shots up the charts it’s not “only” bc a whole ass country are “success stans” it’s because it gets massive exposure and people check it out.

Dynamite reached 1 on Melon before Hot 100 was announced, btw...within 4-5 dys of release by overthrowing that SSAK3 massive hit Beach Again.

Dynamite released on Aug 21st and Hot 100 was announced on 1st Sept, this was Dynamite on 27th, way before Hot 100 announcement.

Dynamite did not need Hot 100 to reach 1 in Korea
