So why aren't all BTS titles in the top 50 then? Since their fanbase is so powerful to just mass stream them they should never drop out, but they do, why is that? Is it....cause BTS is the most gp relevant idol group as shown by their brand rep, gallup placement, etc?? I'll wait for you to come up with a good response.
BTS currently have 790k+ Subscribers on Melon as of today which is the largest subscriber compared to TWICE that has 216k.
If you look at the Fan mentality for Boy Groups, they will stream ALL the B Sides from the comeback and songs from earlier albums which reappear in the Top 100 Charts, as this is not just limited to BTS and they will stream them for a very long time just to beat records.
Compared to GG fans where only a few of their current B Sides are streamed to the degree of getting into the Top 100
The fact is, BTS has the subscribers on Melon to continually stream their Songs all year around especially when they are trying to go for a record.
We have seen with Nilo and Sean that if you get enough interest in a Song and you have high profile Idols making a comeback that you can beat them which is what happened during BTS and TWICE's comebacks. Then again, BTS didn't have near the Melon Subscribers that they have now.
So here's the point....
The use of the words "general public" is incorrect because it basically eliminates around 90% of the Korean General Public rather the correct way to use the word is the songs impact outside of Music Charts.
So an example of a National Hit Song is TWICE's Cheer Up
TWICE's Cheer Up in Korean Music Text Books, used by 2 Political Parties as a Theme Song and helped TWICE become a Nation's Girl Group
The question I ask you is..... which BTS song qualifies as a National Hit where you can't use any Music Chart to prove your point
