fandom size =/= no. fans who stream

Not every fan is a streamer. Some put more effort into that while some don't, plus streaming only gets you so far. Without the support of the GP and new unique listeners (since charts would sooner or later filter streams) - if your song doesn't click, then it wouldn't really chart that long either. Plus physicals can be easily inflated by the buying of multiple copies/versions. Streaming/Digitals too can be inflated by fandoms, but it's more heavily regulated than physicals.

Anyways, what's the point of selling physicals? Money. That's it - these idols aren't putting all this effort for nothing, they need to make an earning, and physicals are one way of doing so.Maybe it's not much, but it's certainly more than what digitals can give them.

(That said, a good mix of both digitals and physicals would be most ideal)

Was going to say this. Y’all seem to forget that Korea has way too many streaming services for a country with a relatively small population. And the most popular charts that are easier for fans to top are Genie and Bugs. That’s why a lot of BGs and rookies last year fared better on these charts than on Melon where more than half of them were non-existent.

BTS is already the favorite in Japan, if the UTAGE program covered Dynamite it means that the PG is really listening to the song.

Wasn’t there a user who used to frequent AKP who kept claiming that Dynamite in Japan was purely fandom-driven and that he had never heard it in public in his city before? What a load of BS.

After observing your posts for a bit, I have a feeling you’re one of @runcorn’s many alts, OP. Same trolling method, same writing style that always ends with question marks, same willful ignorance. Asking one question and then ignoring everyone’s answers by copy pasting the same points in your OP no matter how dumb they sound.

Alright, alright, what you want to hear is, BTS are extremely nugu and unpopular, their popularity, sales and numbers are all sajaegi and paid actors. Even NCT, 17 and Monsta X are the true global acts. That’s why no one actually wants to buy their products, thus, no brand wants to collaborate with BTS. Did I cover all the bases?

Rockstar BTS with one of the biggest beverage brands in the world in a global campaign, yaaaasssssssss!!!!!!

Now release the full song, cowards!

Lmao, they didn’t have to do shit for it in Korea either

I don’t like this layout. Can we change it to night mode?
