They drop a single the same day as the album, promote that single only for a very short while, and then the era is over. Their last 2 leads charted at #10 and #11. BWL will go top 10 too. They sell out stadiums/large arenas in every country. I don’t know why you’re so mad about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't get a hit anymore and is definitely not selling out stadiums and breaking streaming records. Lmao I don't even stan for him but you're so embarrassing, he literally just had a hit last year And this has nothing to do with the post I quoted anyway, you said he can't get a hit without Ariana when he's scored multiple hits, including 3 #1s, that were bigger than Love Me Harder. Make it make sense. And BTS is actually a better comparison to Paula Abdul since they will be a fad just like her and every other boyband before them. Just lol if you think they'll have any longevity outside Korea but enjoy it while it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just lol if you think they'll have any longevity outside Korea but enjoy it while it lasts. They've only grown bigger and bigger globally every year so your point is moot. Moreover, they don't need to big outside South Korea to have success (and clearly they still will as evidence of their continuing growth). As for Weekender, I only mentioned him and Ariana because thays the only song I remember other than the Daft Funk song. It's amusing how you're defending his success and then calling BTS and Paula Abdul gass when the latter has had much more success than Weekender. Bragging about 3 #1s when Paula had 6.

Despacito was a one off with a Spanglish version featuring a big name North American artist. Not to mention there are 50 million Soanish speakers in the US and most Spanish language still don't make mainstream hits. Try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
