Corrected it for you. The way you hate BTS but still care so much to dig up this tweet that has 1 like is just hilarious to me.

#1 on Digital Song Sales and Social 50 as well. Getting the #1 on Songwriters would be the cherry on top. It amazes me to think about how this will be the norm () for every comeback in the future. I have said this many times but I’m so happy to see an Asian group being able to literally defy all odds to have this level of success in America, or…[Read more]

WE DID IT ARMYS

I think we just got better at buying on iTunes/Amazon? Little did I know that we can create up to 4 iTunes accounts per payment method before seeing many Armys doing that this time. Also we can repurchase songs on Amazon every 24 hours. Perhaps that’s why we ended up with these number for the B-sides.

Here is the breakdown of sales for each song, numbers for Dynamite and Skit aren’t available yet:
#1 Life Goes On 129K
#2 Blue & Grey 68K
#3 Stay 58K
#4 Telepathy 20K
#5 Dis-ease 20K
#6 Fly To My Room 20K

Never doubt Armys’ buying power y’all.

As much as I hate to say it, their chances of winning are very slim and I hope Armys don’t get their hopes up. Winning is a different beast than getting a nomination. This is between Exile and ROM and Taylor will probably take this. If she’s actually campaigning then it’s a done deal.

It’s going to be a prerecorded performance so I don’t know how they are going to do a collab stage? I think they will get a solo stage and at the very least (hopefully not!) perform a cutdown version of Dynamite like how they did at the AMA.

OMG YES CRYING

Solo stans are the absolute worst. But it won’t affect our chances of getting LGO to #1 since other tracks don’t have the website sales

If we maintain the current pace of orders from the website for LGO I think #1 is quite safe. Dynamite will at least re-enter Top 10. Stay, Blue & Grey should make it into the Hot 100 with strong sales on iTunes. Not sure about other tracks since their sales are not as good and streams are decreasing.

I just read some news that BE is behind the…[Read more]

They are on the cover of Esquire’s Winter issue:

The Recording Academy’s seal of approval is one thing. But BTS have already conquered the world, clowned tyrants, inspired individual fans to perform the small and achievable acts of activism that have c…

That LGO performance was everything. I got a little teary-eyed seeing Yoongi there and them lighting up the stadium purple. The transition from LGO to the explosive Dynamite was actually incredible.

Didn’t know about this. Maybe her sister can talk her into voting for BTS as well (given that she is a voting member which is likely)

On the contrary I don’t think BE is an indication that they will not do another English song in the future. It just means that they will mainly release songs in Korean like they always do. Based on the success of Dynamite, I won’t be surprised if they release another English song as a single in the future. Maybe next time they will even compose…[Read more]

It hasn’t been added to Metacritic but here are the ratings so far:

NME – 4/5

The Independent – 4/5

Evening Standard – 3/5

Metro – no score given but reads like a 4/5

So the average score is 75/100

I think it was around 3m for Dynamite? By the way these are the views records for Dynamite:

20M views – 1H14M
25M views – 1H59M
30M views – 3HRS
35M views – 4H15M

65M views – 14H25M
70M views – 15H31M
75M views – 16H46M

The way they constantly talk to the press about how much they want that Grammy. Something tells me that Columbia are quite confident about their chances of a nomination. I’m starting to believe they they will get it. Them having such a momentum with Dynamite this year plus the the increasing pressure for the Academy to promote diversity could very…[Read more]

Some missing promos that I can remember:

Grammy Museum’s Collection: Live
RADIO.COM performance
2020 Asia Game Changer Awards

Recent articles from TIME, The Guardian, etc…can also be considered promos as well. Not to mention the perfect timing of BE release, and even the Savage Love remix.

They are really having some of the most aggressive c…[Read more]

Sad yet hopeful. Tae’s voice is so soothing, like a warm cup of coffee on a snowy morning.
