exactly.. seems a bit fraudulent to me 

Maybe because Spotify is free and you don’t have to pay like AM which is dominated by rap music?

I don’t think so. Why aren’t they streaming on AM?

It's at #63 on AM. Plus isn't Spotify bigger literally everywhere else in the world. It would make sense for them to focus on that

The Fumes already BoTS and VPN 

very weird and fishy

OMG HAHAHA HATERS ARE LOSING IT AGAIN

imagine how tired we are of "but gp doesn't know them" statement.

i was kind of getting at the fact they don’t have the traditional means that most western acts benefit from when they break these records - airplay, wide playlisting and much greater appeal to casual listeners. 

 

imagine if one day an act grew a similar fan base and still had the gp interest as well in addition. the first day numbers could be so much higher than anyone thought possible. 

 

but also the gp literally don’t know them.  

the streams 

 

They keep winning.

They focus on Spotify because it shows the number of streams. If AM showed, they also would stream there.

Not the Apple Music argument  I guess people in the US really are that self absorbed because spotify is the dominant steaming service WORLDWIDE, outside of the US. Apple Music is only bigger within the US and that’s it 

US army is on fire. I'm not sure why some are doubting they sell out US stadiums.

 

Anyway, we are out of school or out of work due to COVID, so I'm not surprised by the numbers. It ain't like we have anything else to do

Ok and....? How does that take away from the fact that them beating the WW spotify record? They’re still going to debut at #1 in the US anyways

More like #7 

Just when we thought Maroon 5 was finally flopping with their last single, we get a Korean version of a Maroon 5 reject smashing. This is just insufferable. 

I wish I liked the song or at least the vocals so I could celebrate too 

 

good for them tho

But Billboard didn’t count those VPN streaming.

and their last (first week) streaming numbers in US are decent.

Ehh ill wait for tomorrow. These numbers look too good to be true

I think it was expected to be big, since it's an english single with a full push from a western label, and BTS is the biggest act in the world.

The fact these numbers are from their fans 'cause the GP don't care about them. It's really amazing, but I can't understand it
