They still are a non factor for the general public, but their fanbase is huge and obsessive so they are pulling great numbers

 

Just watch their sales for the upcoming months

Kinda surprise their streams are that weak, i thought the children lived to stream 

They do, but in this case they're actually purchasing.

I can’t imagine that second week drop tho. LMAO

A second week drop really doesn't matter, leave that discussion for the more established artists in the US. The fact that non-english speaking asians are topping the US BB200 is history.

He is mixed. So partly Asian. BTS are 100% koreans

calling ATRLers racist for pointing out chinese stans cheating itunes thru VPNs

What are you talking about? Bruno is not 100% Asian which is true. BTS are...

 

There's no discretion here. and no racism

[ArianadelRey]

Great for them (even if his stans are annoying but whatever), i don't understand why people here get so butthurt about them topping the charts

yes but you are bringing it up as if it changes anything. as if bruno isn't "asian enough" or something. bruno is filipino, and the philippines are in asia, making him one of the few asians to go #1.

the fact you even brought up that he's mixed and that BTS is "100% korean" is confusing to me. does it really matter if bruno is mixed? he's still asian. lol.

Bruno is only 1/4 Filipino. That is the main difference here. Billboard considers Charice as the first Asian solo to have a Top 10 on the Billboard 200 though as well and not Bruno

i never claimed he was the first

sorry if you thought i said that lol

i merely said "bruno mars is filipino" because BTS won't be the first asians to go #1 on the billboard 200, if they do. first asians with a non-english album sounds more likely
