So Billboard has known BTS since 2015

No rookie group comes close to what bts even in 2015 had and this is someone that likes a lot of Bgs. They are a class apart.

I thought I was the only one who was being recommended these performances by you tube today.

I, An Army since 2018. Didn't know they performed Dope & INU there or even had an interview untill today.

The performances was awesome as always. Bangtan killing it from debut.

BTS has also been charting on the billboard 200 since 2015 as well... their first entry was HYYH PT 2 at like 171 than they continued to grow from there with each of their following albums charting on the BB200

Yeah I got these video on my YouTube Home too. I was surprised as well. It was kinda dark and not really captured the boys performance but it is ok, I guess.

I think billboard kept it hidden because it’s not logical ARMY won’t hyped these kind of videos especially back in 2015-2016 lol

the way I remember these performances but don't remember that they were from billboard

well

This was the first BTS interview from them in my mind (2017) but I was wrong.

I always thought DNA was their western interview start.

Years of being Army, but today I realized I have still yet to know many things about BTS.

Is it a coincident both of us got recommended by these videos today!!!

Don't know though.

I don't know what BB was thinking, but that was very unprofessional of them to film them like that. You can barely see the choreography and their movements. Yikes.

Yeah and the famous 26th place for Wings in 2016. I remember that too.

Yup and all albums before LY Her had no US distribution and no friday release and they still charted higher and higher each time. Once BTS got that US distribution and did a friday release... that's when they went #1 and have not stopped going #1 since.

Their demand in the US has always just been growing till the point it was not ignorable

This is what we’ve been saying all along. That before all the hype, before there was even talk of a US distributor, before there were even concerts, BTS was already charting on Billboard. It took forever for albums to arrive because you could not buy them anywhere here in the US. First generation ARMYs literally had to go to the big stores here (Target and such) to ask them to please, please stock their albums. A lot of times, these fell on deaf ears, but this did not dissuade ARMYs from doing it over and over and over again until these stores finally started doing so. The same went for radio stations (although there were much harder to crack because regardless of how often ARMYs would call to request a song, they would not play them). Kpop fans have it so much easier these days.

The fact that BTS managed to chart all the way at #26 in 2016 with NO album distribution and without a friday release is crazy. It showed their pure demand . And once that distribution happened. they became unstoppable and their fandom was able to show just how big they were
