I feel like if U.S. fans focus on buying and streaming the new song, and manage to get it on the radio somehow, hot 100 could happen, and even spot 100 would be a big deal. The radio, though...that's the big hurdle here. I know BS&T got a couple spins, but that was way after release. The good news is, I think there's more organization there, fans know what to do now and we'll see what happens. I just wish Jeff Benjamin could tell us how close we were to the hot 100 last time. I'm also excited to see if Wings and Wings: YNWA can meet on the world albums chart.

Remember at the Japanese fanmeet when Jungkook gently touched Tae's face and Tae pulled his arm down right away?? And in these two moments, both boys were like "..." when their hands were pulled down. So cute. They just love being all touchy but also like to mess with each other. Editing to add, from the queen or king of taekook, kookvbot: https://twitter.com/kookvbot/status/813350601442504708 Tae was going to the first car, but Jungkook called him over to the car he was riding in. So cute.

They're the most popular ship in Japan, so I'm not shocked at the response. It's just good there was video, it was such a cute moment!

The thing fans do is stream Fire along with BST, which is why Fire stays on the top 50. If it were all fans, BST would be closer on the chart to Fire, but there's a sizable gap. That gap is the gp.

I know some of us pay attention to likes on melon, and Fire will be hitting 100k very soon. Not only that though, because while Blood Sweat and Tears is the most liked male idol song this year with over 112k likes, I noticed that Wings is the most liked male idol album (and maybe for overall idols?) of the year with 65k likes. I personally enjoy the like system because you can only give one per account. People are liking what they hear. Watch these boys slowly but surely becoming digimons.

What's getting me is the 30's ratio is a bit higher than the 10's ratio. BTS is a group that can be considered more than an idol, since they do so much of their own music and their albums are full of songs that are about things that actually matter. Maybe the demo growing and changing bit by bit is a sign of things to come.

Ahhh I was on tumblr right now and I came across the best gifset... cr

Dang...I saw that one video with K-army reacting to things where they said Vkook was the most popular ship over there, and they have multiple fansites just for them alone...but still, when I see stuff like this I'm reminded. They're really way too popular with K-army. Some of the stuff from the exhibition, so cute:

Looks like they might hit 100k right before promotions end, very nice.

Yeah I was watching the chart and they actually went up when Korea woke up, along with the digimons (though not as high at the true digimons). This along with the male % increase...IDK what's happening but it's nice to see! If they can stay visible they'll hit 100k likes really soon.

I didn't get a clear idea of that dab moment until I saw the fancam, so cute! I'm on mobile so I can't link better: https://twitter.com/winterVerry1230/status/791619414818852865 You can see Kook looking back and reaching for Tae as he makes his way over (with Jiminnie so there is vm*n at first) and Tae is like "DAB FOR THEM BABE" and he goes nuts lol. SO CUTE.

Why is vmin consistently killing me these days. This reminds me of... Jimin pls.

For the 7pm-8pm hour 'Blood Sweat & Tears' jumped up from 8th place to 6th place on Melon. They've hit 85k likes, and 6 other songs from Wings are in the top 50, with Fire sitting at 35 with 90k likes.

That chart from Hanteo....the spike is almost frightening. And they're getting even more fans with this comeback. What will next year look like? And is there any chance we get a repackage in December?

If they're not in the Hot 100 I wish he'd just say so...I'm dying over here. Can you imagine the media play if they do that? They're sure to beat the Billboard 200 kpop boy group record with Wings, there's no doubt there, and probably even the overall record. But Tae's goal is Hot 100. As of 8am they're still #1 on Melon, and they're ascending a bit in the past hour. Waiting for them to break 40% with males, I think they can do it today or tomorrow.

With the 8am hour coming they dropped to 2nd place, but I just like this demo right now. Interesting amount of men and people in their 20s listening this morning. I'd love to see the male demo break 40%.

According to the accurate HitsDailyDouble, Wings is expected to sell 9-11k in digital album sales for the week in the United States. That would be a new record. I'm glad it's still at number three here! This is such a good comeback for them, and it's getting them even more fans. I can't wait to see what more this era brings.

TBH this is how I'm feeling lately. I used to think pairings like Hanchul and Jongkey were real bc of skinship, but now it seems so clear to me that they're friendships. In that society, ppl in a relationship wouldn't be so obvious on camera imo. Like I'm into BTS so I'll use Jimin as an example. Even if he's not straight he's too touchy and posts too many selcas (like with Jungkook) and his ships are given too much attention by BH (like him and Yoongi) for me think he's with any of the members. But lately I do think he's not straight. I just can't look into ~looks or fanservice for "proof" of a relationship. His mannerisms and interactions with multiple members do make me wonder about him tho. Just not ships, the more I see a ship pushed on camera the less I think there's anything going on between them.

I'm so proud of them!! No previews and we barely got the track list today, slay a bit~ I'm doing a group order and the Tae fansite I'm doing it with should preorder within the next couple days, so my order should count soon. :p

I love these girls, but it's impossible to pick a favorite. I thought I'd settled on Momo, but Nayeon has been coming for me lately. Look at her! I'm just-

I last watched Beating Again, I'd give it 7.5/10, would be an 8 but there was some odd acting moments from the two leads. I really liked the premise though, it had lots of funny and heartwrenching moments, and I especially liked that I never rooted for the second male lead! That's always a problem for me, but not this time.

Heechul has this thing going where he can do or say pretty much anything and it's just shrugged off, or people come out of the wordwork just to insist he isn't gay. It's interesting. I usually amount most stuff to fanservice, but certain members of groups like Heechul and Key just seem different in a way. Right now I'm mainly into BTS and Yoongi seems maybe bi, and that whole Taehyung kissing Jungkook's arm in bed had me all ??? but most interactions between all members seem more like deep bromance. But yeah, Yoongi makes me wonder.

I'm new to OH and kiiiinda new to BTS, this will be my first comeback as a fan. Its crazy how Big Hit just drops stuff out of nowhere?? Like how we find out about a new album after the first teaser what on earth lmao. I love it though! I already have a fave member/song/brotp/otp/mv, but I somehow don't have a favorite album yet, I wonder if that'll change. I really love all three of the short films so far but I'm not ready for Jin at all, his HYYH stuff was so mysterious, I'm gonna watch that thing like a detective.
