Which hit is more unexpected : SAVAGE LOVE (REMIX) vs ANYSONG

Savage Love Remix.

Literally one tiktok and a lyric video is all the promotion it got. And there was no form of South Korean promotion.

It being their 2nd #1 song in the US definitely helped it reached a peak, but its stability beyond that is fucking crazy. It's at 44 weeks and hasn't left the top 40 of Melon or Gaon Digital.

slr. outcharting some 2020 promoted big hits in the long run.

Savage Love because it's an English collab, not a BTS song and it was already released before the remix with them.

sl remix by far, its a random eng/kor remix that has charted better then every non bts bg song since 2018

Slr is the biggest BTS underrated hit I have ever seen. I won’t be far fetched to say it was BTS 2nd best performing song released in 2020 after dynamite

Definitely slr. The only thing it was made for was to chart #1 on hot100 for that one week. Literally no one was even expecting it to hit melon top100 let alone top10 but somehow it did. It didn't even have any promo or anything. Just the announcement and a tweet or two and it hasn't even been mentioned since.

So an unpromoted single not even aimed at the Korean market vs. a heavily promoted single with a tik tok challenge.

Definitely SLR

slr with no promo: outdoing most bg songs stand alone. recently, starting to surprisingly outchart some big idol 2020 hits. it doesn't even have a mv.

It's not just "not far fetched", it's the truth.

SLR for sure, right now is outcharting big idol group songs on a Melon and have no sight of slowing down anytime soon.
