It's more than what he deserves for sounding like this after 10 years as an idol, but congrats anyway 

 

 

this can't be real this is twelve times worse than Momo's

[Planet Mars]

Will the song have longevity? That's all that matters.

 

I'm here for a major Korean (Asian) male popstar in the west. I can't think of a time when an Asian man became a fixture in the western music scene. Historically it's just white and black men, with the occasional white Latino (which is still white so, yeah).

 

If I'm not mistaken Asians are the fastest growing minority group in the states after Hispanics, so it'll be interesting to see how that impact our popular culture in the long run.

#1 on the Billboard 200?  How?   

 

Morgan is predicted to do 195 k and Jimin's updated prediction is 143k    Are they going to mass buy 55k copies from the album today? 

Yes they are mass buying the album right now. they always do a panic buying in the last 12 hours of tracking 

 

idk if they will reach the goal.

but anything above 150k sales is great.

sweetie, explain yourself 

a top 5 is a great achievement for Armys.

so SZA has a chance to hit #1 this week. I want KB to hit #1

he will break the record for the largest drop wbk 

A #1 is a #1 (if it reach #1)

they don’t want another solo member from another K-pop group to steal that record in the future

Didn’t Taylor fans spend like over 300k one week last year on anti hero?

Yeah, but I think this forced Billboard's hand in increasing the sales divisor from 7.5 to 10 soon thereafter. If Like Crazy beats out the triumverate of Flowers/Last Night/Kill Bill, I wouldn't be surprised to see Billboard increase the divisor even further or just get rid of the sales component from the Hot 100 altogether.

Are they mass buying the song or the whole album today?

SZA's team is truly useless.

This would have been the perfect week to give it just the slightest push. There’s always hoping her team does something tonight when the new tacking week starts or the following week. But after that we won’t have to stress about her team cause Kill Bill will probably have lost its shot

And now they're not doing anything about Snooze. I f*cking hate whoever manages her marketing.

Kill Bill is discounted on iTunes. Maybe her team woke up

Pushing Snooze right now when KB is this close to #1 could hurt its chances. Snooze can wait 2 more weeks

Too late 

[Sscorpionn]

her useless team discounting kill bill after the tracking week ended 
 

She would easily snatch the #1 if she would just release signed kill bill vinyls. A lot of her fans are these weird hipsters that buy vinyls for aesthetic so those would sell out quickly and give her the much needed boost over Morgan

It's time for BB to remove pure sales from the formula. Billboard is a popularity chart. Fans buy physical copies not because they listen to them but they only out them on display and that does not represent what the majority listen to.

its a dying metric anyway so it doesn’t really matter tbh. Radio, however, should  definitely get its weight reduced by a lot.
