Saintlor Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Their new album is 34 tracks long and only 4 tracks are new songs and the rest are their old songs from the last 8 years And they're labelling at as an anthology album https://twitter.com/PopBase/status/1523680797579874304/photo/2 Their fans are eating this up too. A greatest hits album is completely not needed in the streaming era and for them to even have the nerve to brand is as an anthology album as if it's artsy is just Edited May 9, 2022 by Saintlor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bestfiction Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Aren't Greatest Hits and Anthology albums basically the same thing though? And how is that a scam if the tracklist is known and fans know these are their old hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mte I thought it was the same thing Western pop fans finding out kpop fans don't buy albums for the music in the CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrgVisual Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 How is it a scam as if their fans wouldn't buy anything they put out whether it "anthology" or "greatest hits"? It's a just a label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxtthewdelrey Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 They've been completely transparent from the beginning about the content of this album. If you want to have a wider conversation about the K-pop industry, consumption and sustainability then sure, but BTS are far from the worst offenders when other artists come out with single albums and mini-albums with 2-4 tracks all the time.

lovecatt Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Greatest hits & anthology are basically the same thing. It has every song they've released as a lead single, hit or not. I'm not sure where the scam is. Also, this would be a scam if they didn't know what they were buying. The full tracklist is out a month before the album comes out.

lex Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 BTScam strikes again. They can't fraud the Hot 100 anymore so they're moving to the Billboard 200 And tbh, regardless of the artist, Greatest Hits / compilation albums should not be allowed to chart by catalog streams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conquxror Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 i think this was already announced to be a “greatest hits” album tho… the problem is that none of those “hits” are great… why would anyone buy an album with both dynamite and butter? tragic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter was basically an album with 2 songs (and 2 versions) and it sold like 3 millions, thats just kpop, artists sells single albums with 1 or 2 songs it sells a lot then 4 months later another single album with 2 songs and sells the same or more, people don't buy the albums just for the music they buy it for all the inclusions that come with the album Edited May 9, 2022 by Spears_Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCsNumba1Fan Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 They can’t scam fans that will buy literally anything they release. So it’s categorically false to call them scammers when the content is irrelevant to the consumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
