So did BTS cross 15 billion digital index since 2018? What was their 2020 total? Between 5 to 6 billion? I think they have most total index since start of 2018. Biggest hitmakers

They have outsold career totals of biggest senior hitmakers of earlier 2010s like Lady Gaga, Katy perry damn!

i think impact and longevity both make cases for national hits

Spring day with 7 millions ULs is undeniable and covered by top actors in korea as well!

Whereas Cheerup , love scenario impact is also undeniable

And then we have Dynamite which has initial impact and longevity both. Like in 38th week it is in top 10 of gaon digital chart

So both matters

like last year they sold well over 10 million albums alone

Add Stream and download equivalents with right pricing. ( like ifpi reduced weightage of 50 million chinese sing and put it at 7 in top 10 songs means like it was around 10 million units by ifpi, so pricing matters in weightage)

They must have sold between 15 to 20 million in equivalent in 2020.

They must be around 70 to 75 million by now

If they have 2 comebacks this year, by mid 2022 they will join legendary 100 million club

Amazing

And by 100 million i mean equivalent album sales

Not adding of 10 cent single with an album. Consumption units used by ifpi and billboard.

Recent artists to join 100 million are Rihanna, taylor swift. Adele and Drake are over 90 million

BTS literally best selling artist to debut in 2010s

Yes there can be

But thing is BTS created an insane level and crossed boundaries

A kpop group singing in korean. Faced racusm, biased and still shined through

Their equivalent sales will be over 100 million by end of 2022, if not 2021

Set records including many firsts

And most important ifpi artist of year

Noone will take that away!

Blackpink level is achievable anyways
