Quote from Afriyieau1

I personally don’t like seeing albums like Proof on these lists. It’s basically a compilation with just three new songs.

I mean so is the fifty fifty album. ly:answer has songs from 2 previously released albums, so do hyyh:Young Forever and unforgiven. Ynwa is a wings repackage and Mots7 is basically a mots:Persona repackage.

Quote from Afriyieau1

Not really. Answer and MoTs7 have more than 10+ brand new tracks so It’s basically a whole new album.

That’s why I specifically mentioned less than 3 new songs. There’s a reason why outside of kpop, not even chartmasters adds Proof to their most streamed album lists. YNWA, Young forever, in fact any kind of repackage falls into this red zone.

chartmasters is very inconsistent especially when it comes to bts, they count unforgiven and the reve festival finale but not hyyh:yf or ly:answer (both are albums that include songs from 2 previously released albums as well as a few new songs). they count the beginning but not proof (both compilations). they do count ynwa but not mots:7
