LC streams on pandora suddently increased from below 50k daily to more than 500k daily MONTHS after its release and after that Pandora susspended pandora accs from JM solos and some army.

Jimin songs suddently increased on Deezer worldwide and he was top 1 for a while but then dramatically fell out top 100 after Deezer.

Lippredict talked about a song which had more than 50% of its streams were free which was unusual and based on TOTC predicted points, the song he reffered to was Smeraldo GMB.

You guys always play the victim and act like every platform in the world is against him. But maybe the problem is not the platform, the problem is what his fans are doing on those platforms? I remember armys used to drag anyone who used suspicious methods for BTS (like looping) but now its fucked up that they coddle JM solos too much and let them do anything they want.

And the Jiminfunds post is real. She deleted it after realized she set JM up. Even JM solos dragged her for it.

Saying anyone who wants to address this problem is an anti is absurd. Lol

I am not playing the victim. I also do not think & did not say addressing the problem is absurd or makes anyone an anti. I am just sharing my personal experience with one platform. Like I said, it is a fuck around and find out situation. Pandora specifically targeted playlists and I was using one of them so my account was affected. I was like welp, let me not do that again.

I do my thing and stream where I can and support BTS and the members solo work. I do hope people stream properly (i.e. no looping, no vpn, use correct PL's etc.) and that's what the majority of us want. Tbh with the internet I don't trust ss (I took that ss from the jiminfunds account I found) but that's just me. But if it's true I 100% do not support those actions.

Platforms can change their rules all they want, it's there perogative. Like I said, I don't know what changes deezer implemented, I don't use deezer.

I don't understand why free streams are unusual for a song, either. But folks are constantly pushing for premium streams and I support that cause premium streams weigh more.

Just a thought for y'all. I wont say were in the US i live but its a big city of nearly 1 million people and we are not listed on the spotify city chart. Does the chart only list the cities where people use spotify the most?

I still remember the pandora debacle. I'm salty about that because I lost the account I had for over a decade. All I did was stream a night PL during LC release week. 😭 according to them, my night streams were too irregular. I fucked around and found out. But even now US fan bases still encourage using Pandora. We can pull 70-100k streams a day during release week. Yeah it's more modest numbers but we still get in the top spins chart and the thumbs up chart and that's enough of a reward lol.

I'm gonna be honest I don't understand Korean charts. BTS does not fare all that well on those charts (I think) besides with Dynamite, Spring Day, and now, Seven. The move to spotfiy is more logical imo because it contributes to world charts and is just one platform to focus on instead of three or four.

Youtube is our enemy. That's a BIG problem for us. Army fan bases are open about how much we struggle on YT. That's just a sad fact. Our numbers for member releases are slow, even now JK's songs get the most daily gains but we still don't have the dynamite era power we used to have. Views get deleted, frozen, we don't have ads, it's frustrating.

I don't know much about the deezer situation tbh, all I know is that Who entered the US chart and that not many people use deezer in the US.

This has been an interesting thread. I really don't think that there is an underground operation of streaming farms across the world run by fans lol, this seems like typical mass streaming behavior were you fuck around and find out. I'm not gonna take one look at a screenshot from one account on X and take it as gospel that they single-handedly set up a streaming farm in the US. What I am goin to do is encourage everyone on my gc to use premium accounts cause apparently that's the only legitimate way to consume music. 😅

Have a pleasant day/night y'all

Stream WHO & MUSE

Edit** please see ss below**

Can you also attach the 68th place photo too?

That's thailand. The Singapore numbers for the week were much lower, at around 580,000.

Quote from Kitty_Saurus

Wouldn't that indicate that the fandom just moved to stream solo songs instead of group songs? BTS hasn't even released a studio album or a mini-album since 2020. Most of my tl are now focusing on streaming their solo projects, not the group releases.

Right, thats the strategy. Is this not how it works in other fandoms? 😭

Group songs are included in PL's, that's why BTS is still on the artist chart and gaining more streams than any other kpop group without having one specific song on global.

I'm more of an Apple streamer. I use Spotify once in a while. And yes, I totally agree. WHO is a bop but Like Crazy is my Queen. Proud of you guys! Pushing the song to over 2M streams in the US is a fucken great achievement.

Iliza Shlesinger

True, apple does have better sound quality.

Thank you. now if we could get radio spins we wouldn't have to stream so hard but that's a different convo.

Quote from Nutcraker

He made good music. And GP is starting to pick up. If he makes pots and pans banging sounds then GP might not take a liking to it and all will be left with the fandom to help push it up. It’s not rocket science.

Lmaoo not the pots & pans 😭 I'd definitely still stream.

But for real, y'all are so civil here, this is refreshing. I am a US BTS Army and am in an active streaming group chat. We give hardcore support to releases and push on spotify cause it has a free option. 🍎 is tricky cause it must be paid and not everyone can afford it. I personally have shared the song with all of my friends and my family, I promote on tt and IG, I buy albums. It is an incredibly loyal fandom and yeah, I stream a lot so I'm a bot I guess 😂

Who is a bop, and Like Crazy is a queen that will rise again.
