pride4jc1222 Posted November 14 Posted November 14 The song continues to hover inside the Top 50 of the Hot 100:
whirly Posted November 14 Posted November 14 WHO? Honestly I have never heard this play anywhere. Who is streaming it? At least Jungkook's songs seemed genuinely popular 1

Yes, Dynamite had fraud with the mass buying in the last 5 weeks of its run, but the first 27 weeks were organic, and it was very big in the beginning. I remember Dynamite more than I do Laugh Now Cry Later, which came out at around the same time. Another big fraud in the early 2020s was Life Is Good. That one was #1 on YouTube for like a year, then all of a sudden (after it reached Diamond certification), its daily streams on the platform dropped over 90% and never recovered. 1
By the Water Posted November 14 Posted November 14 I wonder what tactic armys are using to keep the song so high in the US. It's not just mass streaming since it's still not charting in any city chart 8
Taylena Posted November 14 Posted November 14 This song is doing those numbers but somehow is not charting in any city. 6

My guess is a lot of the streams are coming from Asia, like many of the K-Pop songs that I'm unfamiliar with that have high streaming counts.

My point is that while his song is charting in the top 10 of the overall US chart, it's missing entirely from the charts of individual cities. For instance, in yesterday's US chart, 'Who' was at #9 - (https://charts.spotify.com/charts/view/regional-us-daily/latest), but when we check the NYC chart - (https://charts.spotify.com/charts/view/citytoptrack-newyorkcity-weekly/latest), it's nowhere in the top 100. The same goes for LA - (https://charts.spotify.com/charts/view/citytoptrack-losangeles-weekly/latest) and other major cities across the country. In contrast, songs with similar numbers are showing up on both the overall US chart and the city charts (see image in spoiler). I'm fairly certain this only happens when most of your streams are coming from a streaming bot farm located somewhere in a small rural town in like Montana or something. Spoiler 2 1
Almighty Gaga Posted November 14 Posted November 14 It's impressive how their stans managed to crack the code with this and Seven on how to make sure their bot'd streams count without Spotify detecting them
charot Posted November 14 Posted November 14 With only 66M views on youtube aka kpop's main platform. Math is not mathing. 2

penguintim Posted November 14 Posted November 14 The good news is that it's pretty much guaranteed to go recurrent and leave the Hot 100 in a few weeks when the Christmas songs come back

The numbers are quite consistent. 1
Assassin Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Spotify needs to do something about these streaming farms.
Starkboy Posted November 14 Posted November 14 "Seven" was bot'ed but at least you could actually hear it on radio. But this one? I genuinely have no idea how this sounds.
