Chart bts' surprising melon stability: is blood sweat and tears exhibiting longevity?

[ethereal]

 

 

 

this is a sceenshot of melon from about an hour ago. what i find interesting about this is that you can see how BS&T is charting throughout an 11 hour period. as you can see,  BS&T stays at a steady position throughout that entire time period. it doesn't plummet at certain hours, or rise really high at certain hours, it just stays on it's steady pathway as it fluctuates between #1 and #8 on the real time chart due to other songs rising at certain hours.

 

this is the first time a bts song has had this kind of stability and i can't help but wonder if it will be short lived, or if BS&T can stick it out to become bts' most successful title to date.

 

the traction is there so here's to hoping for the best. 

[VANTE]

yeah i was honestly shocked when i checked melon

[SAUCY]

Fire's been charting since it dropped. In fact it's been rising lately. So it's not the first time bts have exhibited longevity.

And it has almost 85K likes.

Can this be Hit Songâ„¢ for BTS?

Stayed tuned, folks~

 

Physicals: 436K+ Digitals: 199K + (first week) 

 

BTS will definitely hit big on their next comeback if not this one already lol

I love this climb yall. So proud of my boys

[Ddeona Oneul Bame]

IT'S EXHIBITING KINGS!

 

[ASS]

I'm hoping for longevity

[glitteringstars]

They haven't dropped out of Top 10 in their two weeks charting. I think they'll continue to do well. 

[BTS PAVED THE WAY]

And Fire dropped out of top 10 after 3 days its been released.. Blood Sweat and Tears are damn great to have this consistency 

[Acer]

yeah yeah!

[Not-in-use]

Fire hasn't left the top 100 (hourly) since it came out either 

 

and its been in the 20s-30s since WINGS came out

 

kings of longevity

[oppasinbstyle]

tbh its really good. but not as good as dope and fire but it caters well to both kpop fans and non kpop fans imo. (my non kpop friends likes it)

[Yeojin]

it makes sense though, a lot of people are listening to their music

i've seen a lot of people here on OH say that bts have no public recognition and im no expert myself, but when so many young teenagers stan a specific boyband, how are these fans not considered a part of the general public? fans are part of the korean society too, and when a group has such a noteworthy number of fans i'd say that translates into public recognition tbh

[Ryland]

that's awesome

i hope that the song don't drop for at least one month

[faye]

am i crazy or did this not happen with fire?

This

 

People act like people in their 10's and 20's are not part of the general public...you can also see that over 40% of their listeners are men.

[S P R I N G]

Only time will tell. We may leave the realtime top 10 today though because of the two new songs. Hope not!

Same. Can't think of the right words to describe the slayage

Bst is sticking out on melon Top 10 for a lot longer than fire. Although fire has held out on melon for pretty long.

[Tanzender Stern]

Wow, I never noticed this before, just that they didn't drop out of the top 10

Because those young ones belong to the group "target audience". When you start to get public wide recognition from people who are not your target, those people are the ones refered to as general public.

BST is definitely doing better than Fire did in the first couple of weeks (BST has never left the top 10 even at peak hours (aside from a glitch), fire went down to the 20s at some point earlier than this) but if you just mean it having a stable number of listeners without really fluctuating, I think yes. 

 

Here's a SS of Fire on Melon from May 19 (18 days (2 weeks and 4 days) after release) @ 4am:

 

 

 

It was also very steady in the # of listeners it had~

You're starting to sound like other Armys

[SinBeautiful]

MY BOIS ARE SLOWLY BECOMING DIGITAL KINGS.

 

I STAN DIGITAL LEGENDS.
