And if I say BTS that could chart on k-platforms with high ranks as the only idol group back in the day, got blocked on those platforms after 2021 changes an suddenly other groups started to chart cos of their fans’ streaming with vpn, playlisting AND labels giving away +
streaming codes…
Cos thats exactly what happened…
I mean the platforms are already owned by labels or are associated with them.
Most likely BB starting to count FLO, a platform somehow BTS can even enter anymore, is related to SM & JYP as well, only labels+
With groups that cant chart on hot100 still… (they are partners)
Oh and dont forget, BTS - YTC did debut on Melon as #1, but dropped till we could get #1 on other platforms…
And BTS are the most listened idol group on platforms, it isnt related to Armys’ streaming +
Cos they are working on it.
But the MLs system got really corrupted that idol groups cant go high unless their fans are given “streaming codes” which equals to additional MLs, or stream with vpn from Arizona.. MLs = registered id+ip… So its basically a system built to cheat
I got out of the shower and went "wait.. did i say MLs or ULs".. cos i meant *ULs..
Thats what happens when you tweet with 0 caffeine in your system and Armys have been stuck on this MLs issue so my brain is all filled with it apparently

People think BTS’s success is only related to some “tactics” and the company.
Bc every group is talented and hardworking right?
But no.
First of all i will boldly say, no group is as hardworking as Bangtan.
Doesnt mean no other group is working hard.
But Bangtan +
achieving all this, not just preparing for cbs but also actually working on their music for the group AND for themselves on top of all the global pressure NO group ever been through before…
And working hard is something but working at a company that guarantees you your +
articles, publicity, ambassadorships, next cb, shows, success is DIFFERENT than working knowing you may not get any opportunity at all from lack of resources.
All the pressure, hatred they have been through like no other, and still keeping on going requires an extra level of +
Pdogg saying when they heard Armys sing along to BTS at Wembley, they realized BTS achieved smth BEYOND rankings..
I am saying this with 100% faith;
Others can have rankings, forgettable hits, “sales” whatever..
They won’t have that UNIQUE pride💜
+
That moment, is probably when they realized their legacy…
BTS has that. They aren’t breaking records just to break them. They’re doing it while being heard and known..
WHILE spreading their message…
The unfair “tactics” for mediaplay may frustrate us sometimes +
But look how easily others surpass eachother every month… No one is doing smth memorable if you don’t give them headlines, they won’t even be heard by twt users…
So have confidence in that,
People compare and contrast without giving the whole stats and story +
