Why isn't APT bigger than DWAS in the US?

[hawx23]

Title edit: in the US
 

Apt is more upbeat and arguably fits the current sound zeitgeist better, Blackpink historically had huge streams in the US, Rose probably caters to a younger audience, and both songs have #thankyouBruno. Why isn't Apt outdoing DWAS in the H100?

Lady Gaga is more established, next question and DWAS caters to straggots

 

(also middle America hates Asian people 🤷🏻‍♂️ which obviously isnt everything but it's something)

Hmmm good point. I checked Kworb, not sure how accurate it is but DWAS's 7day number is also higher than APT.

Then how do you explain Bruno Mars?

The song has Korean lyrics and Americans have no freaking idea what an apateu is.

Quality. DWAS is the better song and that's why it's bigger.

Apt is annoying, US got it right for once

APT might just be the second worst song ive ever heard in my entire life, right behind A Bar Song (Tipsy)

Because as much as certain people like to pretend the success of DWAS is down to Bruno, both artists contribute to its popularity.

the fact I've never heard it in full + it's being overplayed and the repetitive "apt apt" is just....

Not only in the US, but DWAS is also  bigger in Europe.

 

Asian countries are carrying Apt and the western world is carrying DWAS.

Annoying song.
