actually i wanted to ask, where is lesserafim? I remember Easy sold quite well (>1mil)

I don't know. It is not on there. That's all I know

Quote from Taemin-Identity

But Taylor releases ridiculous amount of versions tho

Maybe BTS can beat her, once they return

Unlikely now since the wall is too think

it was very foolish for BtS to give up the initiative just so Bang could hang around with the bigwigs of Korea

Quote from Varenka

Taylor Swift is in a tier of her own, so it's not really fair to compare any present day artist to her. Imagine if we still had a culture similar to the early 2000s or before when she was at the peak of her powers in the early 10s.

She's truly going to be the last superstar we see for a very long time.

Arguably BTS was also a superstar but those who bleated the 'long career' theory were simply bullshitting.
