which one is bigger peak among justin biber, one direction and bts?

well I'm not too sure but I don't think BTS has hit their peak yet...

In western world JB, then 1D

In Asia BTS is bigger than the other 2 combined though

Jb with baby.. those were some crazy times

it has like an iconic/cult/cringy but classic status right?

like Britney spears baby one more time or Aqua's barbie girl!

I just remember that before the pandemic hit, Justin Bieber’s tour was downsizing his concert venues due to poor ticket sales

One Direction is known for being the band Harry Stiles used to be in. The other guys just really faded away musically

Quote from jinaland

that song is his most successful song?

I don’t follow his career closely but I think it is. It was close to Gangnam style in my country everybody knew it by heart lol.. but he had some really popular songs for the first 5 years or so of his career

didn’t age as well imo but maybe bc a lot of people really dislike him now for one reason or another and he was a young kid singing it idk

it’s bts. he wasn’t selling like them, being streamed like them, touring like them, breaking records like them, anything

he just had the whole hype of an industry plant that was discovered by accident. the billie eilish of his time. younger people might not remember that as well. he was organic to start but they pushed him like a plant. his peak wasn’t bigger than bts are now.

and 1d’s peak is behind them both

Quote from jinaland

when was JB's peak?

He peaked two times. Once with album My world 2.0 and second time with his album Purpose.

all I can say is if people think ARMY are crazy then they clearly don't remember the days of Beleibers cutting themselves and shaving their hair bald for JB....

WILD TIMES YO.

Justin Bieber was/is the most famous.

I can't talk for every country out there. But I was in school back then and pretty much everyone had listened to Baby. 1/3 of the boys adopted his Baby hairstyle and 1/3 of the girls had a crush on him. Baby also became the most viewed YT video back in 2010 until it was dethroned by Gangnam Style in 2012.

His next songs weren't that big outside his fandom. Only Never Say Never got a mainstream fame because it was the theme song for the movie Karate Kid. Boyfriend also got a bit of fame. But neither was as big as Baby.

Then Sorry in 2015 became his biggest song. It has 3.4B views.

You may argue BTS's fandom is bigger than JB's fandom at its peak, but JB had more mainstream fame.

I think in terms of achievements, it's BTS. but in terms of GP recognition (well not necessarily positive) and impact, it's JB. Armys don't just fangirl like crazy for the sake of it but set goals and organized campaigns for most achievements to be fulfilled.

Justin isn't that popular these days tho...he was huge no doubt but bts hasn't reached their peak yet so perhaps this thread could wait until both have reached their peak for a fair comparison.

When did BTS peak?

Bieber and it's not close.

There's a reason all the kpop boys idolize him.

BTS has a large dedicated fanbase, but Bieber's name / mainstream recognition is on another level.

How many of your guys are even old enough to live through and actually listen to music in the years from Bieber all the way till BTS now, to even make a proper judgement?

Baby came out in 2010 80% of your guys were probably what <10 years old when it came out do you all even listen to music back then, or go to concerts, or even follow the news on how popular those artists are back then? Probably not

This slander!!!!

I was 11 and I remember it really well...

Same lol even I remember it. It was popular to hate on him a lot too

He's still pretty big in Asia. Bigger than most western artists.

BTS is still peaking.

So survey should be between JB and Direction

Oh, yes. We hated him, but we wanted to be him. A lot of boys tried to surf on his wave and get the girls' hearts too. If you can't beat them, join them.

Quote from king-in-north

who do think have biggest peak among three i don't known much about one direction so i don't known how big they are but justin biber was so huge at this prime i think his even bigger than taylor swift and bts still doesn't hit their peak yet

BTS has not peaked yet so they should not be included in this. Still their current level is higher than 1D at their peak. Justin is the highest peak. He is not called prince of pop for nothing

Ok all this time I thought you were a girl the effect of iu

It’s the Biebs, but it’s hard looking back for me to be totally objective about his success. I was 27 in 2010 and he was just a floppy-haired baby singing a daft song, in my eyes, or of most of the people my age. But he was huge, sure.

After that point, he was more infamous. Sure, everyone knew his name, but you were hard-pressed to find people who mostly knew his name because he kept being a cast-iron prat or at least many people who would admit publically to any other viewpoint! So I can’t remember that as him being popular, even if he must still have had millions of followers/fans at that point.

He’s definitely rehabbed his image to a certain extent; but I think his peak has passed.

BTS have not reached their peak yet, but I’d rather take them at this level over infamous worldwide for being egotistical, messy eejits!

J-Biebs was HUGE at one point, couldn’t escape him

Besides 1980's sprinter Ben Johnson, Justin Bieber is arguably the most famous Canadian person of all time.

If justin released a pop album, he will kill all the global charts within a few seconds. It's sad that now he's making mature music, even though i like it.

One direction is literally the biggest boyband ever. If they came back as 4, they will surely dominate sm for a week lmao.

Bts is famous rn, i hope they face some competition from other groups.
