lol at these comments above, ARMY got everybody panini pressed
who honestly cares about charts in the streaming era, all these records get broken weekly and have lost all impact and significance

[babarsuhail]

not you mentioning the streaming era when Butter is doing terrible on streaming and is only at #1 because of mass buying.

[shinagara]

exactly, because Spotify top 50 and YouTube trending is a better indicator of actual popularity rather than Billboard's outdated metrics. i mean, sales are in the toilet overall, enabling dedicated stans to rig the game easily, and who actively cares about radio anymore. BTS at #1 is a hollow victory for multiple reasons tbh, i don't get why it bothers people so much, let the ARMY waste their money

[kris_terror]

I think that's their point, who cares about Billboard charts when they clearly don't denote what's actually popular anymore.

Nas 250k units whilst they have 150k units... they're #1 all because sales are weighed as heavily as they are and the cheat system of website sales allows for them to sell that much:

How BTS cheats or how website sales enable them to do so?
