Hot take: In order to brag about Genuine International Popularity their faves need to enter BB hot 100

Quote from DooDoo Glazed Pork Chops (785)

In which case not even BTS is truly global.

they have had #1 albums in all of those markets and swept the top 10 markets ( other two Brazil/ China don’t have charts).

they’ve also had Top 5 singles in every top market (Germany/France #1 airplay, #6 and #7 official chart). Multiple #1s in USA and JPN, three #3 peaks in the UK…it goes on.

Global popularity yet only mentions one random chart in one country

The post I quoted said song, not album.

And as you just admitted, BTS has never had a top 5 song in Germany. Butter was the highest charting at number 6.

Hence why the demands are ridiculous.

But of course you had to assume I was shading BTS, rather than pointing out that some people might want to rethink their requirements for "global success" if not even BTS can meet them.

The post requiring a Top 5 song in all those markets is indeed a steep demand — I’m not even sure a current Western artist can meet it. My point though was basically that BTS actually does meet even a tough standard like that, if we agree to not split hairs over #5 vs #7.

My bigger point though was my initial post — we do need a standard for what global success actually is, and a simple way to do that for ANY act is to see how things fare in the top markets.

Disagree, if your standard is BTS then you just have blackpink some steps lower then a vast nothingness
