charts discussion Hot 100: Travis debuts #1 | BB200: SuperM #1 (60+ bundles)

[BadX]

#1-OUT

[Heart.me]

Who?  

Summer deserved, she will win in the long run tho.

[ChatshireCat]

Taylor better do 60 bundles for TS8 since its allowed

[infrared]

Not 60 ways to purchase one album  if it takes that much to get a #1 go have it. It’ll be forgotten soon enough. 

 

Summer’s numbers are insane, especially for a new artist. She deserves more credit.

It's Capitol who's running all the promotions in the US

The fraudulence of it all...

The bots are at it again!!!

[americanlife]

I am so appalled, violated, and disgusted. K-Pop is the most generic and corporate thing to happen in the industry since late 90s teen pop.

Cheaters!!!

Of their 3 number ones, BTS have only used album bundles on one single show. Blackpink only used a tour bundle (though something clearly went wrong with that judging by their numbers). Both groups had built up a fanbase before they performed in the US.

 

This is unique for Kpop or otherwise. It's obvious that SM were prepared to do anything for a #1, regardless of what it took and how much they spent. Poor Summer, who has the most popular album this week.

[Ohno]

Summer Walker DESERVED THAT #1 MORE THAN THESE NOBODY KOREANS THAT USE BOTS and VPNS and TRICKS to get #1.

Agreed. It is straight up fraud and anti-black in this instance. Summer deserved it and people actually listened to her album.

It is fraud but sis don’t even start with that anti-black ****.

I wonder how long it’ll take before BB specifies rules about bundles, if they ever will

you're making it sound like SM had minimal say in the promo scheme of the group that they literally created themselves

it's like saying interscope totally controls blackpink's happenings in the US, as if YGE didn't exist

or it's like saying columbia totally controls BTS's happenings outside of south korea and japan as if BHE didn't exist

As if US artists/labels weren’t the first to use bundles to debut at #1...

[golden-girl]

Yikes I smell a meltdown coming from summer and londonondatrack

[bluevelvetcrowbar]

Lemme stream Summer even tho idk ha, cause that level of loophole-ing is absolutely horrendous. 4 versions is one thing, but 8 versions with 60 bundles is just  can't wait for the monumental fall next week tho djdkdkd
