The chart longevity of Who is surprising me. I think it's a sign that the song has broken out into to general public, and not just ARMY listening

It's not very often that I see the Canadian Hot 100 on my timeline. Yay @rockstaryuzu . I'm a little surprised - I think he only got #3 on Canadian itunes

Really? That is exciting! I have to admit, I basically don't bother checking the Canadian charts because they're largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things,  but this is a sign that Maple ARMY is doing the good work.

 

Also, about the Dec 28 thing - it's a Twitter ARMY fan project. Lots of the ARMYs on Twitter were very upset that we couldn't get Hobi the MAMA bonsang like we did for the other  4, so they've picked a day when the odds are good that some diligent streaming can give our man his chart #1 before the year runs out. Lord only knows why that song, though

Also, for anyone who might be interested: Weverse's Black Friday sale is on now for the next week. Some deep discounts on, amoung other things, the photo folio books

Jin left for Japan today!

Same here. It's lasted even longer than Seven and charting pretty high too. It got a huge boost after Fallon, indicating that the locals are involved.

 

Tbh, I'm confused by the success - did this get radio play? are people buying every week? I don't think I follow any Maknae line solos since they tend to be really nasty so I don't know if they're doing something special or buying every week.

I try to imagine BTS without Jimin (or Hobi), who were on the chopping block so many times. Just shows how much the stars aligned with the right people working together. So grateful to her

 

Also supports the assertion that RM built Hybe more than Bang. Nothing against Bang, but RM's the one that seemed to have the real vision of what the group should be. And Bang himself says that he's not BTS's father - he just let them be what they are. Although that concept in itself is revolutionary for Kpop so not trying to discredit Bang's contribution.

JHoooooooope! 🔥🔥🔥

Where is Jin going? It's Gimpo so Japan or Jeju?

 

I posted thiis a couple of days ago but it shows just how stunningly successful the members have been.  (and yes to RM being the principal reason Hybe exists - though I think this new CEO was a big reason, too -

BTS now joins The Beatles as the ONLY groups in history where every member has earned a Top 10 Album on the Billboard 200! kpop

Oof! Geffen is getting roasted like crazy on this thread. Literally not one comment that isn't angry at the company

I did get my copy but it wasn't until the album was out for a week - Geffen deserves the criticism.
