BTS were UMGs biggest revenue-generating recording artist in Q2 of 2021...

Despite only being signed in Japan.......insane.

BTS making money for so many labels, it's honestly funny

f*cking UMG is not grateful to BTS at all. Hope they keep losing. All their pushed acts can't even beat BTS who's only operating with 10% capacity with UMG

Lmaooo this is insane. I didn’t except this at all. I fully expected that Olivia person to be first.

Wow umg need to show more appreciation to bts because the amount of money they make from their Japanese releases only is insane

this is soooooooooooo

BTS KINGS

Japan is a huge market, one that BTS easily dominates. I wonder if companies will start promoting their groups in Japan more once the western push dies down some, it's more accessible and profitable given kpops history in the country

I was expecting Justin, but then again BTS have always been excelling

Just one Japanese album and theyre outselling all the UMG artists

Puts things into perspective, doesnt it?

Kings, UMG wished they had BTS fully signed for the US too

UMG should be treating BTS like kings instead of trying to block them with payola. What is BTS switches to Sony in Japan? It would be a huge loss for them.

Also, what did Justin even do other than Peaches?

Rofl BTS 's japan sales alone made more money than industry pushed and favourite global sales. Lmaooo

BTS outsell everyone in an impressive way. :huh:

BTS right now carrying all these labels.

It’s obvious Sony and CR biggest money is also BTS for half the quarter just being distributors

Atp BTS really are carrying the music industry and it’s not a joke

Honestly this feels racist af. UMG using BTS to milk money from Asians and then sabotaging BTS from non-Asian markets

Wow, that's crazy! That's only from their Japanese releases too which is insane.

Quote from Charmed123

Quote from worldlove27

The profit margin per song is through the roof

That's insane.

Shhh streaming and radio is more relevant and important

I wonder if we will get to know the actual sales and profit made by each of these artists.

Quote from worldlove27

From just one country!

bangtan keeping companies alive, umg should put in wayyy more work smh

When your Japanese releases do that!

They were #1 in sales and revenue for H1 2021 just from their Japanese releases alone, compared to all of these artists full global numbers... People constantly downplaying BTS everyday are always getting themselves embarrassed lmao

How is that even technically possible?

Oh wait. It’s bts aka LEGEND KINGS

Nevermind
