yeah both singularity and serendipity have ads. singularity's started before though and u can see the effect in daily views...it's risen like crazy. 
 

i'm confused about why bh would put ads for them specifically though. why not group mvs? or all solo mvs. i remember seeing a chinese taehyung stan on twitter say they bought yt ads for the mv and right after started seeing people mention the singularity ads, but i doubt they've somehow managed to buy them through bh? or idk. if anyone could manage that it would be taehyung and jimin stans hhh. esp with the race to 100m...

Some Armys in the scenery comment section r saying that you don’t have to play the whole song...you can play for like 30 secs for it to count as a stream

yes but most people will listen to the full song through anyway and not just the first 30 seconds. only the dedicated streamers will be streaming for 30 sec, refreshing, streaming again, etc. doesn't help that scenery is a slower/ballad type song imo. 

a lot of the convo about the streams rn remind me a lot of singularity vs epiphany views arguments...i think it's a similar situation 

out of nowhere i've been seeing people start to use "solo stan" (on twt mainly) to describe people that only stan 1 group and i'm so confused abt why...i'm pretty sure solo stan has been used only for people that stan 1 member of a group no? (tho it's confused with an akgae a lot). at least i never saw it being used like this before hhh

why are people still using US media only caring about money/fans as a drag or 'concern' over poor groups :((( (that they usually don't even stan)

do people really think US media genuinely cares about every artist anyway? does SK media care about korean artists beyond money/fans??? i really don't get it lol

like there are so many things you can call out when it comes to US media...why focus on this still and act like media is taking advantage of poor groups and their poor companies that don't know any better. they are using each other and that's how this stuff works everywhere. you can hate it if you like but don't act like it's unique to US media or like the companies/groups are not in on it 

like i understand if you call out media for reporting irresponsibly because they don't care enough but that's not the only thing people are doing lol

this is cool! ty op. looks nice 

you probably already thought of this but it would be easier to make the bb100/200 charts on google spreadsheets. 

so you don't have to space out the year/artist/song/etc categories individually and all

this throwback

some of the people in this thread just eating up the bs lmao  i can't

can i be temporarily banned?

until the end of september? like until october 1st 

starting now 

is anyone else having this problem with the bighit qr codes? and know how to fix it?

I thought the decrease/increases in rate are because of timezone differences. I also heard, not sure if true, that certain types of views get added on with a delay. 

 

Personally, I don't think Youtube is doing anything specifically different with BTS videos. Which begs the question, wtf are we doing that's so wrong and how can we stop it lol.

idk. i wouldn't find it weird if dna's graph was the same but it's not. dna's mv was also the one that had some views added from that metro uk (potentially questionable?) source. the fandom either started to focus too much on the last few hours (instead of slowing down?) or yt started to add the views differently. i know that for fake love many people (including me) panicked a bit at the end and streamed a lot because of the 24h record and maybe others did the same for idol to "increase the gap" in case youtube deletes views?

i would prefer our rate stayed slowing down, and having a smaller 24h number, than all these deletions/freezes so if this is the reason i hope things can return to how they used to be lol 

ik people have already talked about yt views for many pages but i really wonder why the view pattern changed with fake love/idol?

seeing this that first day i noticed how fake love's graph had the weird increase of views towards the end, after the view rate first started decreasing...when the same thing started to happen with idol i already got worried many views would be deleted tbh. there might be no correlation but idk, i think if that increase didn't happen at the end fake love probably would have ended up with the # of 24h views it "officially" got (after deletion). 

anyway after big accounts emphasized that we need to stream like ~normal people~ i thought there would be a change but i guess not. personally i barely streamed on yt this time 

I don't ever remember seeing Kpop at #1 on the UK itunes... but they have done it... and are sill holding to that spot... congrats.

 

Anyone knows how hanteo sales are going?

 

Song is amazing btw

Lmao cmon, did anyone truly expect DNA would blow up so big globally and become such a worldwide hit? I've been a fan of BTS music for a while, but I honestly didn't expect it to get as big as it did.

 

Although I'd love to be proven wrong again and myb with me saying this, Idol can be the first kpop group to hit 1B views

idk maybe   those of us that liked dna/dna mv probably had more hope i guess lol

i just hope idol has the same fate 

Well i think the user means enough longevity to get #1 record in every category. But noone can really predict that now

true. we'll see like i said. \o/

This will definitely break the 24h record. I saw a lot of Army's planning streaming events and such. Tho, every big fandom does, so it's expected. Although I don't expect it to have the longevity in views. As it seems a lot of the fans and even non fans are indecisive with the song and the Nicki Minaj MV ver is releasing in a couple days, so the focus will be somewhat split.

So yeh, just my honest opinion

i'm remembering that thread that said dna would have no longevity. and i just went to check and saw you made it lol. hope you're wrong this time too tbh because i love idol and i think it's like fire but 100x better (that had good longevity despite the reactions over it's loudness). but we'll see 

Melon Unique Listeners anyone???

melon isn't showing them yet on desktop

looks like the ellen show will be uploading more bts vids this week leading up to their comeback. does ellen normally do this for some other releases? 

def wouldn't be surprising if they attended again for answer 

something to remember

the amount of people i saw listening to nicki's new album and praising her even though they've cancelled kpop groups/artists for being 'problematic'. even cancelled groups they used to stan jsjsjs. nicki just collabed with 6ix9ine and that's just the most recent shit she pulled. there's a long ass list. honestly i don't care if you stan her in general (i've listened to some of her songs this year too), and kpop idols that fuck up should be called out, but why are so many people loud about 'cancelling' kpop artists but stan problematic western artists without a problem?? 

this is pretty cool

makes it easier to read the notes and more enjoyable lol

how can you guys just ignore that every time jsjsjsjs

must be on purpose 

can't be that dumb and oblivious 

i'm still wondering how i managed to lose my ly:tear tubed poster in my own house

and how i haven't managed to find it yet, months later 

bang pd: plans a hip hop group for years, gets multiple rappers as trainees, gets trainees (namjoon/yoongi) that were already making songs about social issues since they were kids, makes group around underground rapper namjoon. all years before their 2013 debut 

tired bap fans: bighit was clearly copying bap (debut: 2012) to make a hip hop group that has many rappers and talks about social issues. they saw bap's success and copied them. also bap would've been just as successful as bts if it weren't for ts! 

i feel like i just listened to we on for the first time

i swear it sounded completely different the last time i heard it and in my mind it sounded more like n.o.

i thought i hated it even but it's such a bop oh my god 

i let things affect me too easily 

there's no reason why small dumb stuff like this makes me so upset i get a legit sick feeling in my stomach asdjsjs
