Twice is #1 on this week's Artist 100

  • All these older groups have fanbases. They have loyal, hardcore fans they have gathered over the years who more often than not only listen to their faves.

    It is common to chart long on Billboard albums charts. Example : BTS's MOTS7 released in Feb 2020 is still charting. Also these older groups release reissues almost every year so there's that.

    Social 50 has been scrapped. It used to be one of the metrics but now it isn't since mostly kpop groups chart on that one and Billboard cannot have that.

    oh, thanks for the explanations!


    so this is not only based on sales numbers but also on how much people listen to it? (yes I have lieterally no idea about any of those charts)


    But I still don't get it tbh, twice is third on bb200 and non existent on hot100, so how does it add up to rank 1 when the social stuff got scrapped?

    Twice are #1 group because other groups had less music consumption in the US than Twice for this week. OP is only about groups not overall. In overall rankings Twice are #10.


    Edit : BB200 is an albums chart. It is not only based on physicals. It counts all the music consumptions like physicals, digital sales, streams of all the songs of the album and ranks the album based on that.

    BB HOT 100 is songs chart. It also counts the same as above but only for the song.

    Artist 100 is about which artist had the most consumption for the week.

    All of the stats only based on the US music consumption.

  • okay I see, with all that explanations it sounds even more impressive that Twice would be first in the US O_O


    especially as we have to consider the fact, that they're only a barely known local korean group, mostly active in korean suburbs and small towns. So this pretty much defies reality!
