I’m sure BTS can cry into all the money they are making…heard it’s super absorbent.

BP don't give a fuck about chart success
Combined streams with english version playlisting, 5 versions to buy, single cd all helped jimin to get that no.1. With the change, all of it is gone except combined streams for 2nd week.
The lesson that bts should learn is that Don't be too greedy. Don't reach too high through unconventional means. The fall is going to be much harder. Music industry is not going to just sit and watch the chart manipulation that they themselves cannot do. You play by their rules or u burn. No wonder, they didn't give them a grammy nomination at all until they did payola.

Exactly
Right tune
Proper promo/push
It'll chart
Not #1, that's not possible for a Korean act unless it's a massive song of the year viral moment like gangnam style
Or a massive A-lister Collab that is also a bop

tell me another good joke

Dyna was their last proper organic hit imo
Tho I also get they want to enter history books & they realised the gp will likely never fuck with them like that 🤷

Not possible for bp but definitely possible for bts
they should never take business advice from AKP users

"Stop buying albums, that's not allowed. And stay in your place Koreans"
Here we go again with the gatekeepers
Why are BTS charting so well as a Korean act!! It's not possible!! Korean acts should stay in their lane 
Look at my bp!! They are signed to interscope and once they get the Ariana Grande collab the no 1 will definitely happen!! Until then we fight YG because our baby little girlies rookies can definitely make no decisions on their own!! 
Like Crazy was and is the epitome of a GP friendly hit and even showed signs of traction way outside usual listeners. That potential should have been capitalized on by the label but apparently it didn't "fit the plan."
Sadly with no real campaign/radio/official ongoing promo to keep it visible to a broad audience, it's now doomed to a typical kpop single fate -- that's why fans step in and try to do the work the label won't. It's a vicious cycle.

Remove the sales from equation & not a single BTS song will hit #1
Even Dyna & butter wouldn't be able to do so
Meanwhile Taylor swift occupied the entire top 10 based on streaming alone, that's the difference
Which is fair since she's home grown artist
Kinda like what NJ is doing in SK

There's not Ari Collab in the foreseeable future
BP are not chart hungry or that's what they've shown us so far, maybe they also have their own ambitions who knows
Again I don't see Taylor occupying the top 10 on melon meanwhile NJ is still doing it with multiple songs which makes sense since 1 is American act & the other is Korean 🤷

I agree like crazy eng ver is really good & can go places but hybe doesn't care & I'm not sure geffen has authority to do that lol

"Stop streaming it so much, that's not allowed"
then
"Stop buying albums, that's not allowed"
like clockwork, every time they top the charts.
BTS' titan popularity is a constant, Billboard's rules are not.
BTS still haven't been able to too the charts with streaming alone something almost every A-lister has done
Dyna & butter both peaked with 18M on demand streams if I remember correctly
That's barely top 10
Dude. Are you acting stupid rn or what?
Asking for receipts?
FROM A.R.M.Y??
Great job setting your girls up to be dragged
Again
They should boycott this gatekeeper country which wants to be different to other country. Eg using a whole different measuring system as if it was the only one in the world
I mean US is #1 & Koreans are massive US simps so 🤷

So??
Just shows that she has a fanbase + more casuals than BTS in the us while BTS has a core fandom in the US
U can look at the streaming chart if u care about streaming numbers..
Actually look at what radio ed sheeran is getting and his tanking streams and wonder why jimin can't get radio

I know you're talking about the imperial system, but your post also is correct regarding BB's obsession over radio play
in the year 2023

Have u read my username? 😭
I wish BP would show an ounce of charting hunger but sadly they still haven't
They do celebrate #1s tho

"Stop buying albums, that's not allowed. And stay in your place Koreans"
that's a very black and white way of thinking. If buying albums was really stopped, then jimin would never get that no.1. Infact, the buying of album is not stopped. The money goes into artists pockets so the crying is only for sales not being reflected on chart.
billboard themselves have a responsibility to reflect true popularity like every other chart in other countries. u might know a korean chart called melon? they made a lot of changes too because users kept leaving and stopped using complaining manipulation by fandoms. Charts change a lot of their rules, it's nothing new. Billboard is transitioning more and more towards streaming era.
I mean US is #1 & Koreans are massive US simps so 🤷
#1 in music industry cuz they are the 3rd most populated country and the richest country. But they cannot build train line or metro 
and if we're talking radio, you can't ignore Clear Channel/iHeartMedia's absolute monopolisation of radio rotations. If iHeart doesn't play you, you don't get any significant terrestrial radio, and no Billboard

I'd accept your point if they stopped relying so heavily on radio/iHeart
Ed built goodwill from his massive eras in 2010s decade + he invests in what works for him
"goodwill", see this is what I'm talking about. Other artists like Ed get to rack up "goodwill" over the years with US radio, and they in turn support him despite his flop streams and sales, salvaging his charting essentially singlehandedly
BTS instead get the exact opposite. Why does Ed get radio bailouts while BTS gets chart reform?
Remember, Ed Sheeran isn't even American
I'd accept your point if they stopped relying so heavily on radio/iHeart
It's not a perfect chart. U can use spotify or apple music if u want just charts for streaming.

it's a bonkers chart. Radio stays on there so that institutions retain control over chart manipulation via radio (essentially self-selected mass plays with no real input from the public), and that is good leverage for US labels.

Paris has more monuments than the whole US
