is this what you call journalism at least put that degree to good use Using twitter fanwar as receipts while interviewing the biggest band in the world. No but seriously how are you billboard, a music magazine, and you have a whole interview with a band and don't ask a single question about their music… A real smash is sustained by the GP support.’ Another fan of both Rodrigo and Lipa’s, described BTS as having ‘fraudulent ways’ and its fans as ‘involved in chart manipulation’ and ‘mass buying.’ĪRMYs are accusing Billboard of needlessly chronicling and inciting fan wars in an article that they had hoped would focus on BTS’s success.
But then, something highly unusual happened: The next week, “Butter” returned to No. 1 (leapfrogging Rodrigo and others) and switched places with “Permission,” which slipped to No. 7.Īs Billboard stated, the singers’ fans, “claimed that it wasn’t a noting the reversal, tweeted that BTS had ‘0 GP support. On the July 24 chart, “Permission to Dance” debuted at No. 1 with 140,100 total sales, according to MRC Data, with “Butter” falling six spots to No. 7 and Rodrigo’s “good 4 u” holding at No. 2. These fans discredited the success of BTS’s song “Butter.” Another point of contention is the inclusion of quotes from fans of singers Olivia Rodrigo and Dua Lipa. Even number three.This is not, however, the only problem ARMY has with the article. Congratulations to all my talented ass peers in the top ten this week. I’ve had a lot of ‘almost number ones’ in my career and I never said a godd**n thing because I FEEL GRATEFUL TO EVEN BE HERE. That people want to listen to you at all. To anybody that is displeased with their placement on the chart this week or who is spending their time racking their brain thinking of as many ways as they can to discredit hardworking women (and only the women for some reason…), I ask you to take a moment to humble yourself. You can not discredit this as hard as you try. Not just when they fight for us to win (even when I ask them not to as I did this week) but because they’re some of the greatest people I know,” she explained. They are ride or die motherf**kers and I thank God every day that I have them in my life. OUR fans bought this song (never more than four copies each, AS THE RULES STATE). That webstore, those sources say, does not recognize prior purchases or limit how many copies a fan can buy, unlike iTunes, which notes when someone already owns a copy.”
“So while other singles on the Hot 100 typically rely on streaming for the majority of their weighted points (followed by airplay and then sales), the chart-topping performance of BTS’ ‘Butter’ in July, for example, was propelled mostly by sales, the bulk of which flowed directly through BTS’ own webstore, say sources familiar with the matter.

(‘Butter,’ for instance, had six digital versions plus two physical singles.) On Twitter, where BTS has over 38 million followers, fans acting on behalf of ARMY will call out for assistance in pushing certain singles on days when they can have the most effect on chart performance,” a recent Billboard article read. For a K-pop group like BTS that typically releases multiple versions of a particular single - including both digital and physical - that can add up to multiple sales per consumer. Billboard’s rules, for example, allow people to buy a certain number of versions of songs or albums per week, and any sales per version exceeding that cap do not contribute to the artist’s weekly sales total or chart placement. “ARMY has long exploited loopholes in music chart rules (including those of Billboard) to propel BTS singles’ performance.
