after mistaking bts for a one-hit wonder, the music industry is now trying to make the biggest group of the world dissapear from their charts and award shows. so, what exactly is it about bts that terrifies the industry to the extent of changing their rules every time bts wins something?

2:52 why bts is a problem

8:53 youtube
10:59 radio
13:58 how the music industry is interconnected
18:30 do armys mass buy bts music?
20:57 the general public is better than a fanbase lie
24:15 conclusion
When billboard eliminated the top social artist category after BTS started winning it for 5 consecutive years,things were already clear that they ain’t gonna let any Asian group win over their artist. No wonder a hit like dynamite didn’t win a Grammy.
Oh yes. There was no doubt in anyone's mind about that, despite their vague words about 'maybe bringing it back after restructuring it.' Yeah, waiting till after BTS are gone and they can stick Western artists up for nomination again. Well, long may they wait!
@@ystrw they have to wait untill BTS stop making music...😂
@@ThatUnLuCkYoXyGenDuRinGJINRaP Yup and guess what, all of them said they want to make music even if they become old lmao. The industry gonna listen to bts for a long time before they stop making music.
And the magical "Butter" 🎉 what a great performance it was. Mesmerising and exceptional. I was so glad, I have seen it. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@ystrw I personally, don't have anything against the Western artists. They also work very hard and they are also very good. The music field is extremely competitive. And so many people love music. BTS are the BEST and the music industry is helpless in this case. We will not let the music industry to ruin BTS's family-brotherhood people.
I am very very angry at the Jimin's billboard incident. The unfairness is so clear that make me feel sick in the stomach
Same. It’s why I try to help as much as I can w streams and such. Hell, even when I’m busy and can’t listen to the music- I pick a playlist on Spotify/Pandora/YT/Apple Music, plug earphones into my phone so I can’t hear, then set it aside to stream.
It's TRULY nauseating!! 🤬
@@teresamancia9377 they deleted around 100k sales to make him not be in top 10 of hot 100
It was suspicious since rumors started pointing he would have the bigest fall in history, two days after being at number 1, how did they know if the second week wasn't over. It was all planned, you start the rumor, an then make it real.
@@antoineherrods9251 they always say that when BTS achieves number 1 to be fair. but yes, the sabotage at the end of it all to make it a reality was disgusting.

@@_7normalboysfromKoreayou know what suga never care about his haters 🐸
"Im 12 so Im gonna quote this Rich person who profits off of Capitalism and is literally part and parcel of Capitalism saying a Rehearsed line" ~ average kpop stans mental state.
Also they will never ever know your names let alone care for you so you should just quit.
Suga just sold out a stadium tour SOLO.. Imagine the sales when the guys return after military service. Not to mention, RM will be releasing another album, and V and JK have projects to come. Charts can lie and manipulate numbers, but they can’t stop the power of ARMY! We have our guys’ backs, and we’ll always be there to push them past the industry’s barriers. It’s us against world; BTS and ARMY together are unstoppable. Let the industry stay scared, they need to be…
You are right
I'm trying to figure out what are the bts' plans for 2024, because they will release those albums in 2023
We won't give up ever. We are forever behind our boys. ARMY forever
This is the type of positivity ARMY needs. I LOVE YOUR COMMENT SO MUCH. IT’S BTS AND ARMY AGAINST THE WORLD AND TOGETHER WE ARE BULLETPROOF. THEY CAN TRY BUT PEOPLE ARE WAY STRONGER AND MORE POWERFUL THAN THE FEW IN CHARGE.
@@juliogil9452 Thanks, and I agree 100%! Much love, and Happy 10 years of BTS! Peace. ✌🏽💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Supporting BTS and buying their physical and digital albums is more than just fandom behavior. It's a defiant act against the corrupt music industry.
exactly
Yessss
And how is it fraud when we're spending ACTUAL money? I don't understand their logic. The songs they shove into the ears of their listeners be it they want to or not is "organic" and fans buying albums is "fraud" and "manipulation"?
Unbelievable.
@@se7nn1120 oh man u would not believe what solo stans frm our fandom did in twt i hate those bitches , they gave out the ideas we armys created to help bangtan reach the top in bb and when they did this , other western fans aka the people who called us fraudulent and manipulators COPIED IT LIKE WHAT TF HAPPENED TO FAKE CHART BULLSHIT THEY ALL SAID WHEN MIMI BROKE RECORDS SJFHF
@ペー Can you dumb this down for me? 😂
I just love how BTS gets laughed at for having fans that buy their stuff and has their back, while others have to hope that people don't get tired of hearing their song every five seconds on a radio station. So yes, we get crap for doing WHAT FANS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.
IKR😤
Its gaslighting on a massive scale lol
Lol army a messy and lame that's why we laugh at y'all💀
@@tytrxshcxn7997 Aww, don't worry, we don't care.
@@raenter aka y'all refuse to accept it even BTS themselves think y'all low-key weird to the point rm said hes not gonna read comments 💀that's embarrassing
They truly robbed Jimin, and now they’re doing the same to Yoongi. It’s absolutely unfair and ridiculous. It’s so obvious. BTS can’t ever seem to catch a break from these people. I’m just thankful that ARMY are always supporting the boys. Thank you for this video💜
I’ve read some of these comments it’s nonsense music used to be about talent you had to have talent to become real successful not it’s not it about popularity that’s what sells and makes huge money in this industry. Yoongi Jimin have no talent solo I’ve seen them live 2 on stage trust me I’ve seen huge stars live and these guys are not talent. They are popular so their audience follow so it sells so awards charts etc look at their popularity in making money they don’t need to be talented you just need to have a huge following in popularity. Only person in BTS who is talented is jungkook he can sing live he is the drive in BTS the product jungkook providing he doesn’t get to big for his boots will be a huge solo star as he has real talent other guys sadly sorry done so they relay on BTS as it’s safer for them as their popularity is massive globally. You hear someone say you want to see Jimin ppl say who then say what to see Jimin from BTS they ah yes I heard of him on stage Jimin is lost he can’t sing sadly but what got him in billboard was his popularity his following this is what K-pop group are mad. Each person will allure a certain type of person to admire and adore them so if they drop solo their fans will support but them bsvk together the audience goes off so the capitalise on this. That’s why Yoongi keeps banging on all 7 of us back together in stage. Jungkook is their ace card jk leaves their done so they will tie jk up in all sorts of deals and contracts so he doesn’t go solo as BTS are a stock market product. Jk knows all of this they all do. So once you see how music works now it’s not about talent it popularity. Jungkook is making waves all members know jk don’t need auto tune or producing behind his voice he can sing so he is the money maker look at his solo following he sings in English perfectly. It’s all clear how it works BTS are actually apart of the ppl who run this world. Same as brand deals you don’t need any talent just popularity then the items sells as they love the artist madness but that how it all works.
Makes me hate billboard n there's more haters now even some blinks😢😢😢😢
Atleast I'm an army to support them..but next one is v...i really want to say him to be careful about the music industries 🥺✨💜😔
@@elainebullock2368 read your comment twice and it still doesn't make sense. With that said im assuming you're quite young, all im going to say is who are you to decide who is the "only talented member". I want to see you sing like jimin, jin, tae,and jungkook. I want to see you rap like rm,yoongi,and hobi. I want to see you dance like jimin and hobi. I want to see you produce and write songs like rm and yoongi. You're most likely talentless in all of these fields so respectfully stfu. (Members would agree to)
ARMY, ignore the person who commented above. They want attention and are clearly a solo Stan. Anytime you see people saying that, report their comment, and move on with your day. It’s not worth arguing. We know who we support and why we do it. If others say bad things, report the comment & their account.
Tbh, the more the music industry (both Kpop and Western) rejects BTS, the more I will continue to love, respect and support them. BTS found a way to build their history-making, worldwide following outside that corrupt, elite power structure and apart from BTS' unquestionable talent and extremely likable personalities, this is probably the TRUE reason why we as Armys are so fiercely loyal to them. We know we are a part of something that's genuine, honest, truly innovative and worthy of our devotion. Borahae Armys, I'm proud to be one of you 💜
THIS. Every word is right.
!!!
Basically: Bangtan is very unconventional that even the whole K-pop and music industry can't able to circumvent it.
And we just can't let the corrupt music industry sabotage our boys so let's keep our work and stream even harder
@@HONEYOJHA1811 Yes
They are all not doing their job these platforms are delusional
No. That isn't the issue. Boy bands have been there since ever. The quality in every sense is beyond anything before seen, that's true. The problem is that KOREA, not BigHit, Hybe, or BTS, Korea wants its business to rule the industry with its own business model.
@@BenildeMoreno wait... Korea business model cannot rule the American business model and particularly the music industry. The music industry in South Korea is run by the Korean music industry.
What really irked me during Jimin's billboard incident was when other fandoms claimed mass buying was illegal over and over like a broken record, but when asked why it was illegal, they remained silent.
because they literally do the same thing😂 i mean how is that illegal? that's just jealousy talk!
@georgiarose818 There definitely is a greater portion of jealousy involved. But, what I think is that most people must have seen Billboard or other high ranking websites directly or indirectly insinuate that buying is illegal but didn't care to ask further🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. And now they keep making absurd claims without evidence.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@georgiarose818 And now, with BB counting merch sales as album/song sales, it's like they are not even trying to hide their intentions. Like fans buying albums/songs more than once is a crime while selling sweatshirts/hoodies/other ridiculous items count as genuine album/song sales when they aren't even related to music in any way!!!
true hehe and kpop fans all do the same and they still blame army for doing the same so crazy.
It is illegal bec it is for BTS, but if its for the others then it isn't. That's their logic. The find ways to create unfavorable things and unrrasonable issues for BTS just because it is BTS. They hate the boys coz they get insecure and majorly threatened, due to the talent and charisma these boys exude. It is tiring to defend them to people who are just close-minded about what these boys do to armys especially in the paychological sense.
I don't consider myself an army but I listened to bts' albums and watched their performances. I realized that the perception that I had of bts was very different from what bts actually are. I saw that there's a huge contrast in the way most of the public sees bts and the way armys see bts. But that contrast isn't surprising to me as on the surface, bts seems like they're just a good looking, pop boy group with millions of fangirls. I enjoyed their pop songs like Dynamite and BWL but i do think it gave a very narrow view to bts' music and performances. Bts is an artist that the more you dig deeper, the more you will see how great they are. I thought that it was unfortunate that bts will probably never get the recognition they deserved but i realized that there are so many positives to having a huge and dedicated fandom. Bts songs differ vastly but they always have a certain level of success because their fandom always supports them. Their fandom got them records that public-reliant artists could never get. They always show interest in them whether it's concerts, content or fan interactions.
The goal for most artists is the public so their songs can be hits. Bts achieved that with their pop songs but also gave an alternate path of success with stability and a closer relationship with fans. They're a unique group and they've achieved a new level of success. There will never be another bts but both kpop artists and international artists should take bts as an example because they have a higher standard of success. They achieved both stability (fandom) and popularity (public).
OMG THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU SAID🤧and yes that so true💜
Thank you so much... 💜💜
It happens with every fandom that has largely girls. Anything that is liked by largely female fans, is going to be hated. It happened with the beatles too. People instantly assume its just horny teenage girls drooling over pretty men...they totally forget the fact that they make music...There is no boyband or male artist that doesnt gets hate from little to old guys because they get more attention from the ladies. I think this goes hand in hand. BTS will prolly be recognized the moment a man decides BTS are actually pretty cool. Thats how it was with the Beatles. Seen an old asf man jamming to them but bet that when he was younger, he hated them.
Thank you so much for your great comment! We really appreciate it 💜
Thank you so much!!! I used to think myself that girls just liked BTS because they're hot and not for their music, I wasn't a k-pop fan at that point, but one girl on my soccer team convinced me to listen to one of their songs and oh boy... This was back in 2018 and I listened to DNA, Idol(which had like just released), Spring Day, and Blood Sweat & Tears. It was so different from the typical US pop songs I was used to, but I really loved it, not because I thought they were attractive, but because I had a genuine appreciation for their art. Idol is probably my favorite, I've also come to really love Pied Piper too, and a bunch of other BTS songs. It's just so unique I feel like it almost needs it's own genre, and I love how unique it is but at the same time really good, it just makes me respect them so much. With BTS they've done phenominal stuff in every category, different types of music, dance, lyrics(RM is a blessing on earth), singing, etc. There are a lot of guys that like BTS too, I've even met several male BTS fans. I just hate how I'm automatically labeled as a girl who has a thing for men with makeup when I say I like BTS. I wish people would be more willing to embrace something foreign and not judge a book by its cover, because I think if they gave BTS a chance they would gain a lot more fans. Because of BTS, I even became a k-pop fan. Don't get me wrong, there are many k-pop songs where I wonder, "Why, this is so bad, do people actually think this is good?" But there are also many others that I really like, for example a lot of TXT songs, Eric Nam, Mammamoo is an absolute bop(Hip woot woot), KARA, I'll listen to LADIDA by Everglow until the end of time, FT Island, and more. K-pop is slowly becoming more mainstream, so I'm excited for the day when I'm not scoffed on for liking k-pop anymore
Someone once said right "Billboard's new rule: Seven men from south korea under Bighit can't chart"
BTS and ARMY are bulletproof! The industry can try to stop us but it can't break our bond ⛓
Give your comment💜😘😘😘 like jin
but we stop this. Otherwise they will keep on doing it. We know our power.💪
Well said
Exactly this is why we gotta support them even more harder by streaming the h3ll out of it
ARMY is EXPANDING by days and now BY HOURS ! In 2025 we will be not dowbled but more than tripled! Who cares what Scammy(grammy) or ILLBOARD (BB) gonna do/say. WE will support and we SUPPORT our BTS with all our means : Streaming, voting, buying, attending concerts and buying their merch. No one can stop Army! As RM said, BTS is not a group anymore BUT A MOVEMENT backed heavily by ARMY!😙💪💪💪💪💪
21:59 "that money goes to the BTS members and their Korean label, while the Western music industry receives NOTHING" OMG that's the most satisfying use of words i've ever listened to in my entire life, let me play it again "the western music industry RECEIVES NOTHING" R E C E I V E S N O T H I N G ooooh my god I love that 🤤💦💦 thank you for saying that
tbh sometimes i love sadistic side of armys and i'm playing them on repeat too
I've watched so many videos of Bora spitting some facts that give my goosebumps all over my body. It's so satisfying to hear all the bullshit being called out. Eargasim satisfaction 😭
@@whatisilyionlyknowipurpleyou so right this channel speaks nothing but facts
I was thinking the exact same thing 😂
And this is why they mad that their pockets are not being filled by THEE BTS
this is so depressing, but, we'll keep enjoying their art and like RM and Suga said - we'll keep on living through their music and they trough us.
it's nice to see that the fandom can come together and stand against these kinds of awful things, truly "ugh". Let's use our anger for good.
Yes!
The king himself Eminem talked about how the Grammys/industry are fucked up in a few interviews, and his point continues to be proved every year.
Not a BTS fan but I watched and listened to all 26 mins of this video. This was very eye-opening.
Thank you for even showing interest.
Woah we need more open-minded people like you in this world
Thanks for checking this out! More people should know what’s going on with BTS vs music industry. Even though BTS are the ones being targeted it can be anyone next. Fan support should be the biggest factor no matter what…otherwise the industry is just planting the artist who they want to be successful at the top and that’s just wrong on so many levels. 💜
Metallica had problems like this for years. Little or no radio play, number 1 albums sales. This was before the Internet and streaming service so radio was the only way to let people know about music. Or, like ARMY, getting the word out purely through fandom support and record stores support.
I hope you decide to check out some other videos from this channel, she touches on some subjects that not just ARMYs should listen to, but music fans in general on this corrupt industry. It's all very interesting to hear, definitely eye-opening. Thank you for your time though
Just like our leader RM says “We always find a way!” Army’s drive the music industry crazy because we are organized and we don’t hide what we are doing to combat them! We’re called Army for a reason! Which is why we remain undefeated! The music industry is just going to have to stay mad! 😁
That it I was so mad when I noticed. Cos I know we Army’s are buying the songs so cheating our members got me so mad
@Shay Baby, very well said!... we the ARMY'S will be solid like a bullet proof!...the ARMY'S always find a way to support our dearest BTS, in their individual activities. Cheers, everyone!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💯☝️👍👍🥰🥰😍😍🫶🫶🫰🫰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Now I know why Set me Free by Jimin had only 69M views for 1Month. Like Flower by Jisoo got 180+M views just with in 3weeks. Now it makes sense, that BTS songs got sabotage by CZcams. It's frustrate me so much 😢😢 But still , they're still #1 for me. Let's just keep supporting them guys💜💜💜💜 #Bangbangtan.
Boy she is just more popular in CZcams
SMF pt 2 got 25M views in just 1 day and only 70 M in a month? Laughable . It just shows how much of their views are deleted.
@@yerusalemghebreyesus1240 no she is not...lisa shoong got no views despite her beimg popular bcz yg didnt buy the views ...yg buys ads and views lmao ...evryone knows..
Why are u comparing???
Yes we knew we watched in real time what was going on.
Real Talk. I am almost 60 years young and last year I came across "Moment is Yet to Come", I fell in love, even if I did not know what they were saying. Since then I have followed them, heard all of their songs, what impressed me the MOST was their performance. Why? As a Westerner I have never seen a mixture of Rappers, and key singers perform and dance together. Never! I tried to do my personal review on the group and the video was removed. That's why they are on my radar as THE BEST PERFORMING GROUP EVER! Make it EPIC!
I'm 43, also on the "Older" ARMY side, I obviously love their singing, composing, and dancing abilities, but I think I admire them more for their strength and personalities. They have worked so hard to become what they are now. RESPECT!!!
It’s so cool seeing older ARMY. I’m only 14 so I get grouped into the “weird teenagers who obsess over Korean men”. I really love how BTS can bring people together no matter their age, gender, or sexuality.
@@andreaa_aplayz yeah when I first found BTS my first reaction wasn’t “they’re so hot omg I’m gonna just follow them cause of their looks!!” It was “They’re pretty funny based off the compilation videos I’ve seen, maybe I should check out their music.” Of course now I find them really attractive but I don’t only focus on that. I’ve seen so many people claim BTS is only famous because of their looks when most baby army did not give more than 2 shits about their looks but were mesmerized by how they could dance & sing at the same time instead 😭☠️.
@@namjoonsleftdimple I love how BTS brings together people of different generations! The idea that 'fangirls' are only interested in them for their looks is ridiculous and frankly misogynistic, as if girls/women cannot understand or be moved by deep, complex music. If the fandom was predominantly male I can guarantee BTS would be taken 100% more seriously as artists, and that's precisely the problem.
Honestly they should have more male fans than they do, but prejudice keeps many guys from openly admitting they like them, or from checking them out in the first place. It was the same with the Beatles - for years they were seen as 'teeny boppers' who were only liked by teenage girls. It wasn't until men started to acknowledge their music that they became 'legendary artists'.
Anyway don't listen to people who try to stereotype you, and know that ARMY accepts and understands you. Of course there's nothing wrong with finding the members attractive, I'm sure many people do, but we know that for most fans that's an afterthought, it's their music and personalities that come first.
@@shockofthenew exactly!! when its a stadium full of men screaming because their favorite football team won, its passion, but when its a crowd full of girls r screaming because their favorite boy group is preforming, its mania?? make it make sense!! most armys have learnt to ignore these false assumptions over time because of how frequent and consistently these stereotypes occur. its just sad how a lot of BTS’s music isn’t even given a chance by the general public because of their reputation. we just have to ignore it and support the boys despite it all, and like you said, other armys know us and understand, so nothing else matters.
Sometimes I wonder what BTS would have been if the industry was not so *****. And the imagination is scary. They're one of the biggest artist on the planet rn and their records are unbreakable even now so imagine if they weren't sabotaged so badly. That's the power we have Army, let's keep supporting them and prove who's running the game.
it would’ve been the exact same thing, just with more trophies and grammys.
YES, we will be swimming in the endless Universe of BTS's family -brotherhood people. Gosh, we love them so much. Hey hey hey, LONG LIVE BTS and LONG LIVE the BTS's ARMY Of LOVE. Borahae you all 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇰🇷✨✨🔥🌹💫🌟⭐🎵🎶🇰🇷✨🔥🌹💜💜💜💜

ejemplo si BTS hubiera sido americano tendrian todos los premios estaria emn todas las listas musicales seria la estrella invitada a todo seria el ejemplo de los artistas, creo que por algo ellos son coreanos 😉
You're so right, they are so mad about bts being successful and talented, that's so crazy and unfair
Army and BTS got the power fr.
The Western Music Industry fails to realise that Army is Legion. I love when BTS manages to get a number 1. A huge finger to the Industry. I won’t listen to the radio anymore, i got sick of the same songs played dozens of times a day. I didn’t know about the darkness of the music industry until I became Army. Love your video essays, please keep up the good work! 💜
After radio never played any BTS hits I stopped listening to the radio. Same bland music pushed into your ears..was boring
@@davidday13 Yeah, Jimin wasn't played at all when it was number 1 on my local radio, oh, but new vibrant hits such as "No Tears Left To Cry" and "Old Town Road" did...
@@davidday13 that’s because BTS/Big Hit doesn’t do the payola needed to get songs on radio rotation.
As a Barb, this hits too close to home. 😢 Sorry Army y'all deserve so much better!
🙏🏽
Love y’all 💗 Hopefully, Nicki and BTS can get billboard 100 number ones next time and more Grammy wins!
Nicki and bts 🔛🔝
Hopefully nicki can work with some of the rap line to release the collaboration we really deserve 😂 she was definitely holding back with her verse on Idol and I want more 🤌
I always thought that Bts really has the capacity to reach Michael Jackson's popularity, and I thought they will achieve it some day, but now I know why they aren't being recognized despite so many hits, and i also observed that their interview videos have more views than their music videos on CZcams.
which of their interviews have more views than their mvs
Don't worry bts have billions of fans they protect them and bts will comback again they make records and break records
@@terra5857 There are some I checked, on CZcams, they have more views than other videos.
Just read the other comments in this video, you'll see how many fans have observed this.
@@Youcanthandel_ thats pure hopium k pop has 1 billion fans aproxximetly so bts should have less than a billion
The Olivia Rodriguez thing proved this to me. Everything is constructed, everything is manipulation. Oh well, just another reason to love our boys. Brilliant video.
You know what I agree to that totally but if this statement i wrote on Twitter then their fanbase start thinking then I'm hating that artist 😅😅😅 for example they don't count jimin remixes but they counted all the remix of anti hero by Taylor swift and here I don't want to say that I hate Taylor swift instead i just want to say that this is wrong i don't have any problem with anti hero remixes but I hv problem with fact that they refuse to include jimin remix and saying these things openly needs courage and in return I want all fandom to talk about discrimination and what they are doing with BTS is wrong but at same time those artist stans start attacking us (army) this is something every artist fans have to understand that army don't hate any artist in particular we only want to say that these mediaplay,payola, is so wrong and every artist should be treated equally and no matter how much antis making fun of army and BTS but they don't ignore the fact that music industry is just became so corrupt and independent artist have to go through alot of problems so as BTS
💜💜💜💜Hope things get fine 😊😊😊😊
As far as I'm concerned, the music industry has no idea who they're messing with. ARMY is going to teach the music industry a big lesson in 2025 once all of our guys have completed their military service and are reunited. *We will make the BTS Comeback HUGE! It will be legendary and leJINdary!*
Now that your mentioning it, BTS' comeback (album release) in 2026/2027 will indeed be unimaginably huge. Even during their group break, they're collecting so many new fans, and the solo releases are so successful. The hype when they return as a whole group will be incredible. I'm only scared of the fact that it'll be sabotaged again, but I really hope we just focus on having fun instead of the charts.
HA!!!!!!! Love that!
I'll brace myself for it. By then I will have enough money to absolutely go crazy over them.
Me too😂
The thing is I'm scared they that will do the same in 2026/2027 as they did to Jimin's, Hobi's, RM's, and Yoongi's solo MVs See Yet to come music videos have only ~190M views. Do you think it's true? Hell no.. It's an OT7 song.. How is that possible.. They delete more than half of the views from BTS MVs. I don't know what to do about this.. We can't change the algorithms...
My respect for BTS is growing day by day i can't seem to stop it🤣........so proud for stanning these real kings!!!! ..........I'm not against other artists or something but i stan BTS and no one else!!!!! Let's gooo army BTS trusts us so do we
I love how BTS is way bigger than people realise but Western American charts are trying to trick us and they encourage the haters that we aren’t going to last. That we aren’t going to make it. But that’s not true, Army will always keep going because that’s what BTS taught us to do. So let’s keep the streams up and maybe when they come back in 2025, we can win that Grammy. 💜
Dear co-armys, we cannot do anything against it UNLESS we are together. We have to spread this, there is no other way. If they see us making less reactions they will do it more
Yes dear 🥺🥺💜💙
I got anxiety from this. I knew that it was bad with the music industry, but this badly... I think I'll just stop listening to western music now, cause I'll never be albe to enjoy their music knowing that the music industry works this way. I'll not listen to radio anymore. I'll definitely do my part in this. Let's double the amount of streams so when half the stream get's taken away, we still have more than western artists
@@kittykook737 ikr like man there only very few honest artist in the industry rn. like most of the artists are honest but not their company

I recently dove into BTS and I have conflicted feelings, I realized the more I love them the more hurt I am because their pain becomes my pain. If I was the old me, I wouldn't have cared much of who's on top
Pain and joys of being an army are bundled together... They help us at our lowest, so we help them back when they need us.. that's what family does for each other..
Your love for them matter the most to them. And we Armys know we're most powerful and we're their power. Don't stress too much, we're on the top anyway. No one's touching us for a time being. Relax and enjoy them and their music.
Same here!
@@Avalanche1970 But i feel they should be recognized for what they are getting in real its so bad they deserve more then that 😔
Welcome to the fandom!!
There's just no way that all of Jisoo's Flower views are real. She's popular and her song is good but Jimin is more popular and Like Crazy is the better song. Jisoo had only 21,000 sales to land at #2 on BB 200 while Jimin had 124,00 album sales. Jisoo's 2023 Dior day diary video had less than 600K views after 3 months (still less than 800K views after 7 months) while Jimin's 2023 Dior video had over 1 million views within 24 hours and 3 million views in 3 days. Spotify was also autoplaying Jisoo's Flower for me continuously until I blocked her as an artist so I don't think her monthly listener numbers and streams are organic either.
They are trying to cheat with bts in every fcking way, but we all know that BTS gonna be the top, because army is so strong and they are literally the best group in the world.
There are so many websites that offer paid for views, likes, comments, etc. for social media and I’m more than sure the music industry has their own that are unrecognizable from actual human/fan interactions. It’s a whole industry in itself
I mean I have nothing against Jisoo...but it's YG. Of course they do shady things like that.
Nah, Jisso viewers come from 5 - 10 yearsbold kids who keep repeating her MV. My nephew and her friends are few of them, and they donknow how to buy song or album.
@@devitadartiasIKR OMG JUST LIKE MY BABY COUSINS LOL😭😂😂😂😂😂
Suga talked about it in his music video haegueam bts knows whats up fr
Slaves to capitalism , slaves to money
Slaves to hatred, prejudice, and revulsion
Slaves to *CZcams*, slaves to flexing
Selfishness and greed are frantically rampaging
Turn a blind eye and it’s all easy, it’s all obvious
Opinions are so transparently driven by interests
Everyone is blinded by envy and jealousy”
The industry doesn’t want artists to have fans. Fans give the artists power, and the industry wants power over the artist at all times to use them. If an artist knows that their success comes from the label and tactics, they are grateful to the label, not fans, bc fans aren’t really doing much for them. The industry controls the GP but they can’t control fans. Artists may love their fans, but in the end they know their fans are pretty powerless when it comes to charting. BTS and ARMY have the kind of relationship that other artists can only dream of and marvel at. They are grateful to us more than anyone else bc we fought the industry for them. The industry is so scared of not having power it’s ridiculous!
You said it as it is
My dear am so happy been an Army and the fact that we fight everyday for them makes me happy and I always make sure I pray for their safety and well-being. Buy and support whatever they do
It's just like it was with the Beatles. If we'd have had internet, wow what we could have accomplished. They had governments even scared lol
I only started to learn about music charts and stuff after I got into BTS. Before, I was never interested in top BB songs or Grammys. I love music but I never listened to music anymore because I could never find new things I liked. I only listened to older songs from my childhood and Christian music (positive messaging right there). I only heard new songs if they were recommended to me. Now, I can see that those awards and charts don’t matter anyways but I’m willing to try to get BTS to the top because I love their music, I love them, and I’m so mad at what the music industry is becoming because of corruption. I didn’t care before, but I care now because like Jin once said, I hope to live in a world where people make good music and good music is listened to in good faith.
OMG!! This is my exact story. BTS is bringing me new experiences by opening my eyes. In fact im in my 20s and I'm going to my 1st ever concert (Yoongi's) in May, bcos I never connected with any Western artist enough to care to go to theirs. I also started caring about the music industry nonsense just bcos of BTS and I want to see them get the acknowledgement they deserve
I agree- I knew about radio and chart 'shenanigans' as far back as the mid 80s, but it was all a vague mess and we just didn't have the info available that we do now. And they were never so blatant about it back then. Now that I'm into BTS, one of the really maddening things as ARMY is seeing exactly how unscrupulous, unethical and manipulative the US music industry (and evidently, the Korean one as well) is. I do think that by being so blatant about it, the charts are sounding their own knell- they're proving to the world that they have no integrity in the numbers and are therefore meaningless even as a roster of local (US) talent, never mind global. And of course radio was already on the way out. Basically, they're following in the Recording Academy's footsteps to irrelevancy. But it's still infuriating to see them moving the goalposts in their desperate attempts to shut out foreign artists. Guess this is what happens when one builds an entire industry on the foundation of, 'We're the best in the world, because of course everything American is always the best. And we'll change the numbers to prove it.'
Well, they've chosen the wrong fandom to mess with. ARMY is going to shake up that erroneous foundation and bring it crashing down.
Exactly same happend to me, I always like creative & meaningful songs . when I was 15-16 I never found a song that I would love with my whole heart so i just stopped listening to music. 2-3 years later I found 💜ᗷTS⟭⟬💜 & when I started listening to their music and reading the lyrics and theories I was like this is what I was looking for & this is what ART and CREATIVITY means & I seriously listen to only BTS's songs🎵
Yes.. me too, im 25 yr old but im not really listening to the trends songs these days.they think that im an outdated person but nah.! I just don't feel like it . i prefer old school songs and country music, all my playlist only has that and all bts songs.. and I'm not really an army coz i just know them these january 2023 but even if i close my eyes i can easily recognize their voice like i know them for decades ago..haha ilove bts specially jimin my loves i know many or some of his flaws but still love him for who he is.. for me his amazing
Exactly sameee
This literally made me cry. The Fact that BTS suffer so much they face so much hatred not just online but also within industry and still do not complain coz they only care about us Armys. I can't imagine how hurt Jimin must have felt when all of his and armys hard works were neglected. How hurt BTS must feel they face these discrimination they see other undeserving artists win the award that Only BTS deserve to win and they still smile they never complain They truly really only care about us Armys. Charts awards mean nothing to them. All they care about is Armys love for them. They genuinely love us so much❤❤❤ And this is why it is so important for Armys to stream buy and vote. Because BTS only have armys foe support. The music industry is hell bent on destroying BTS's career. BTS get zero support from industry instead they are sabotaged discriminated and kept aways from the achievements they deserve. Only Armys are their true support and if we don't stream don't but don't vote the music industry will push them down even more. This is why it is so so important to stream.
The music industry is utterly disgusting. We're all so proud of you, BTS for staying the way you are throughout the years even when everybody kept trying and is still trying to put you down. But it's so enraging to see these supposed higher-ups steal away these guys' achievements.
The thing that gets me the most is the kpop fans who don't even try to understand why we, Army, do what we do. They say that Army is too obsessed with numbers and charts but what they don't understand is that those are the only way we can give BTS the respect they deserve. I've seen plenty of kpopies call us immature and toxic for getting mad at James Cordon about the Blackpink records issue for example, but the thing is, it's not just about pride or childishness, it's about respect. When you do an interview, you do your research and check the information. Before publishing the video, they certainly edited it, right? So they could have checked it, but okay. Not only did he disrespect BTS but he also disrespected Blackpink actually. Also, BTS and Armys worked hard to get those titles and records. It may be nothing for many fans but for us Army even the most insignificant record is important due to the fact that BTS has always done everything without the help of the fu*king music industry.
A lot of nugu groups fans complain that their faves don't get enough recognition, that no one cares about them, well you as fans have to make an effort to get other people's attention too. You don't always have to wait for the companies' actions. BTS were also nugu, minds you, but fortunately Army quickly understood that we can't count on the industry to give them what they deserve. It's up to us fans to do something for them.
Top notch comment 💜
Kpopies are really laughable. They don't realize that by supporting the industry against BTS, they are hurting their favorites too.
Yes❤
well said!
it is hard to se others take credit for what we did. army was the one buying BTS albums and now they are "giving" that achievement away to another group.
lets say they did it with Taylor swift and drake. drake fans would be pissed too. and the industry would never make that mistake in the first place.
their own label would be after james demanding he deleted it. but big hit cant do it, the American media is trying to push BTS out so another who is willing to play by US rules can stay. and i am afraid not all korean labels care about playing fair. so i am guessing groups from a certain label in the future would be more visible in the US. every one who is willing to give the most money to the industry can get more airtime and playlists. we can already see it happen.
The industry casually forgets that ARMY *ARE* the general public. I don't like K-pop, it's just not the type of music I enjoy. I've always been a metalhead, I stream bands like Chelsea Grin/Bad Omens/Motionless in White/Beartooth/etc when I'm not streaming BTS. So what about my streams isn't real or organic? I'm 30 years old, me choosing to listen to BTS and buy their songs/albums/merch is a conscious decision made as an adult and a member of the general public THE SAME WAY I buy albums/merch/concert tickets for these other bands I enjoy.
I have never been dismissed for listening to a band the way I am dismissed for listening to BTS. I don't understand why I have to prove /anything/ about my enjoyment of their music. The fact is: I AM the GP and watching how the industry treats BTS and ARMY has changed my purchasing habits. If they want to pretend like I don't exist, BTS doesn't exist, and we're all just bots and none of this is organic, then I'll keep my money on BTS and BTS only.
THIS! All of this (admittedly, I'm not a metalhead 😅) but I 💯percent agree with you! - We ARE the general public. The separating thing is just more, complete bullsh*t.
This is me and a lot of Armys. I'm 42 years old, I'm a metalhead and also I love indie and alternative music. I don't like kpop. I'm General public and this is the power of BTS, they 'convert' general public into Army for the brilliance of their music and lyrics. My husband is like me, a metalhead, and He is an Army too
If you identity as a fan and as an ARMY you are not the general public afaik. GP refers to casual listeners. It's like if you didn't keep up with the group but they had a hit song that went mainstream or a one hit wonder as a better example. GP refers to non committed listeners of a song. Like take Despacito as an example - most people weren't stanning the artists of the song nor were they listening to other songs outside of this hit. They were exclusively listening to Despacito only. You can't simultaneously identify part of a fandom and the general public.
Im hiphop listener, enthusiast of Btss old songs. And I FRICKIN AGREE WITH YOU
@@LovelyLittleLillies i think they mean that like, a lot of armys come from being a part the general public, not from being kpop stans who already know this industry well. Even yoongi said that armys have become the GP and I take that as Army as a whole is just as big as the general public, because a huge chunk of the general public has become armys :0
i literally cried on that day when i suddenly found out that youtube has actually cut 100 million views from BTS Yet To Come music video on it release. and today while watching your video i am still sobbing. youtube and other platforms take BTS for granted. and they support other kpop groups much more than BANGTAN because they know that these groups would not affect them that much.
I became an ARMY in May 2018 when the Fake Love MV came out because it was trending on CZcams. You are not wrong. Many people become fans due to 1st-day release MVs.
yo what the hell saaammeee 💜💜💜💜
@@zehranaseem Happy 5 year Army Anniversary 💜
Them blatantly sabotaging Jimin's face album breaks my heart into million pieces. We literally saw it happening right infront of our eyes. They did not even bother to hide it and that is insane!! 💔
Tbh its the fact that they’re not even trying to hide it anymore that concerns me. It shows they are not scared and ARMYs need to make sure they are good and scared all the time!
@@jenniferweaver9030 ARMY needs to take back the power....Well we never lost it, but they're trying to gaslight us into THINKING we are, when we never were. "All good things happen to those who wait" 2025, don't get too comfortable, we're coming for you!!! ARMY will dominate again very soon.
But it did work really he still got it
@@dianaosazenaye1313 he's always got it. Imagine what he would have achieved without all the injustices and sabotage. They are scared of Park Jimin's power‼
The thing that pisses me off is Face is an amazing album and I have yet to hear Crazy on u.s radio. Billboard and Grammy's will one day be no more because of what they are doing right now.
Jimin Like crazy debuted 1st week and landed 1st on Billboard,2nd week was "pushed" down #45!!! Does it EVEN make any freaking sense??!!! This make me feel so disgusted on how it Billboard plays such dirty games!! Why so "scare"of BTS??🤷♀️
Bcz they know after some time... BTS are gonna surpassed all American artists.. they don't want an Asian artist to be that famous...but nothing can Stop BTS and Army❤
And what's even more crazy is it was #1for billboard world digital sales for week2 and even in top 10 of global 200 and global 200 excl US for week 2...does that even make sense..
Not scared frkm BTS ..but they want to make money from BTS...and they can't make any😂😂😂BTS AND ARMY WIN ALWAYS!😚💪💪💪💪
Then stop massbuying it's that simple and get more streams.
@@sloanelaker1130 , we did all!!
Forget the industry BTS, us ARMY are too big for you to fail! We love you Jimin, we ARMY want you to succeed!!! WE LOVE BTS
I especially love JHope.. His solos should be on top.. And i like all the other 6 BTS members too..
@@MJung7887/
The thing about being the #1 Boy Band in the world is that you’ll have everyone on your back. You succeeding every time is unfortunately going to hinder other people from succeeding. That’s the music industry for you and it sucks. It’s never fair game and it’s never if you deserve it or not. Jimin did an amazing job on Like Crazy so he really deserved to stay in the top 10 for as long as it deserves to be up there. Like I said, the music industry is very shady and you’ll get incidences like this, but BTS will always manage to make it back on top because it’s not just their songs that help them reach great heights, it’s Army and the members of BTS and their techniques around the music industry that helps them achieve their goals.
What happened with Jimin's week 2 sales was absolutely bonkers. I always thought I was pretty cynical, but that display of blatant corruption was shocking to me. The fact that they didn't have the decency (or balls) to address it publicly spoke volumes too. I honestly couldn't think less of Billboard at this point, and when people form these sorts of opinions with your brand, it's extremely hard to overcome.
OMG yes, i was waiting for the article for week 2 from bb but they didn't release anything even though they always release articles. It's insane how they are so blatantly being corrupt but literally nobody is calling them out except for ARMYs.
They are corrupt and am glad Army’s were not letting them have their way. I was so mad
They even asked twitter to mute those corrupt hashtsgs on worldwide twitter trends
Now it's also a reminder that armies should not stop buying their albums and concert tickets because they are so loyal to us we should also be, and if you are not able to atleast stream their songs make a habit of streaming atleast 5-10 BTS songs everyday and like fake love just completed 1.2b let's make blood sweats and tears, and butter hit 1b it helps them too! So the conclusion is armies will never stop loving these pure souls! 💜💜
Yes. The day Big Hit decides to give in and take part in the corruption in the music industry is the day they tell us they don't trust us anymore.
We are Bulletproof Armii...
Absolutely 💜💜💜💜
YES, I am streaming day and night 24/7. I just cannot live anymore without BTS's family -brotherhood people. About the tickets. YES, I will buy one, if I ever can get one. The tickets disappear so quickly. A lot of companies buy big bundles and then resale the tickets for higher prices, making big profis on BTS and ARMY account. Also, that should be stopped by fair trade. Who knows how much the music industry is involved in this as well.
And you wonder why they cut your sales and streams ???? Look at this, this is inflating the sales and streams so they won't allow this fake nonsense.
To be honest, I always thought it was weird,how despite multiple videos of Armys vibing to BTS songs for a large number of times, still no proper credits are given to them
The amount of sabotages BTS' members have received especially this year that are promoting as soloists is crazy and SO unfair.
Billboard keep changing the rules every time they get a hit and they are the only ones that end up falling from the charts while the others stays the same. BTS barely gets radio points and the other artists under American labels get millions because of payola...
How is that the general public being basically forced to listen to certain songs due to the industry's tactics is more organic than fans listening to their favorite artists whenever they want? How is that the majority of these artists that get #1 all the time can't really do stadium tours like Bangtan or even sold out arenas?
I'm sorry but the fact radio airplay now weight more than real people streaming and buying songs makes no sense to me.
AND we are basically getting robbed because wdym 90% of Jimin's the sales were deleted? This is real people's money, efforts to support.
And the saddest and most frustrating thing is that armys always try to show to the world this issue but we get zero response. The general public ignore us because it's BTS and ignoring because they are of racist and xenophobic too. Why BTS gets all that unprovoked hate? Like bro all the sht the industry is doing is so wrong and that can affects small artists as well.. If things like this would happen to an American artist or a white artist, people would react differently and unite to complain too (it have happened before with 5sos), but because it's about BTS, an Asian group, people chooses to ignore all the corruption. That's disgusting.
No matter how much they change their rules and try to drag them down, we will not allow that and after all, Bangtan doesn't need their help to increase streams. They are the ones that can really sold out stadiums in minutes globally. Like I said, BTS and Army only have each other and we both have gone though so many hardship but always find the way to keep going. We will adapt and find the way to keep BTS at the top and make them succeed as always because they deserve it.
We shouldn't think much about this but it is really frustrating and the best thing we can do is not ignore this issue, that would be like helping them to destroy Bangtan.
I'm not saying that a number or getting certain awards will define how good they are because this is a corrupt industry, but giving them this things are a way of showing our support and reciprocate our love to them because BTS have already gave us so much happiness, strength and comfort with their music, messages, content and more. 💜
The Jimin single dropping fiasco really pissed me off. It was so blatant how the music industry is terrified of BTS. I was telling my friend like what else can BTS do and I’m just tired of the industry’s xenophobia and racism towards them. They are the epitome of how an artist should interact with their fandom and it pays off.
Without fans, musicians won’t have anything. As someone who wants to work in it and focus on fan engagement, it’s upsetting how the music companies pretend to care about fans. But labels really don’t care about fans and only want the credit themselves. Fans are the ones with the power and I hope people start realizing it.
I think BTS are a good example in terms of success but not in terms of the mental health of fans. I wouldn't want to do what BTS do to engage with fans because of my conscience. I would never want people inlove with me and obsessed with me en masse bcs I actually love all those people whose names and faces and voices I don't know. And I value that over money, success, etc.
@essennagerry can you give the example for love and obsession please im confused nowadays
@@prajnamendon7708 I mean romantic love in this case and romantic infatuation. Do you want an example of that? I'm not sure how to give an example cause it's kind of a broad thing. As for obsession, when people have pictures of someone on their phone, up in their room, when they spend many hours every day to consume their content or think about them - that's an obsession. If you just experience that for a few days or a week or two that's different, that could possibly be just a hyperfixation on someone as an artist or a person and that's ok. But if it goes on for a long time that's an obsession and it's not mentally healthy. When it comes to kpop artist many fans have both an obsession and a romantic infatuation toward them. Not all, but many fans. And my critique toward the entertainment companies and the artists too is that they knowingly feed into those two things. Because well it makes money. People will not only buy the music and attend a concert, they'll also buy all the merch that ever comes out, they'll buy multiole of the same album just for themsleves, they'll buy every type of membership and service available, they'll stream music videos and sings they maybe don't like all that much or don't have the time to stream so they put it on and go to another room to do their work.
Companies and artists feed into this unhealthy mentality and behavior through three hings: one is the constant pumping out of content and making it all feel very important and exclusive. The other is they purposely put out ontent where the artists are dressed in alluring clothing, making attractive poses and facial expressions. It's all to elicit lust. "Sex sells" as they say. With kpop it's more about a general physical attractiveness and a romantically attractive personality. Which brigs me ti the third thing: emphasizing their personalities but in a carefully crafted way. I'm not saying any of the kpop artists portray a fake version of themselves, no, but I am saying that there is a lot of deliberation in what companies choose to showcase.
I hope my comment is helpful.
Let be honest, the real reason why the music/ k-pop industry are afraid of BTS it’s because they know that BTS paved the way for K-pop and the power that army have. The music industry can play dirty or cheat, but that’s never going to stop us army and BTS bond.
Idk why some people think this is a new thing literally 90’s R&B artist suffered with the same problem. The music industry is a business and there only about making profit by any means.
The industry never going to change.
The main point is Word of mouth and the fans is what make an artist iconic so as long as BTS has Army they will be fine.
This is such a good video. It's honestly so much worse than is even shown here, the years I've spent as an ARMY and the things I've witnessed first-hand have made me completely lose any faith I had in the entertainment industry or media. The corruption is out of this world. The fact that Miley Cyrus got 100 MILLION radio spins in the same period that Jimin got 0.1 Million, whereas his sales were bigger than hers by a factor of 10... it's just the tip of the iceberg. This is the same pattern we've seen over and over and over.
The boys themselves are obviously careful in how they word things, but even they have made numerous comments about corruption, and about their own frustration with the industry. I'm sure they know even more than we do about how bad it is, but they're obviously going to take the high road and just keep pushing with their organic success. I'm thinking of a time when Taehyung said in an interview "of course we've been offered opportunities where we could have gone a lot higher a lot faster, but we wanted to do things the right way. So if that means going a bit slower and taking our time then so be it." And the time when Jin mentioned in an award speech about "in this industry, let's make sure we play fair and do things the right way."
I'm sure behind the scenes they are just as disgusted with the industry as we all are. But in the end we don't need the industry. We got Bangtan here DESPITE the industry, and we will keep going just the same way we always have. Spread the message of BTS organically, introduce people to their amazing music, and create new fans who will stick with them for life. In the end, slow and steady wins the race. Music, message, performance and personality are why we're here, and why we're going to keep being here for decades to come.
Fans are the most powerful than the general public since it really strengthens artists' success. I didn't realize how sketchy the music industry is. ARMYS, work hard and keep showing love for them!💜💜💜💜
They need to remember that all ARMYs were at one time the general public. BTS gains so many general public fans every year.
There is a simple answer to all of this.... BTS and ARMY are a giant threat. IF all of these barriers were removed, then BTS would dominate every single chart there is. No one would come close to them. They would rule the music industry for decades. WE ARE THAT BIG.
Hell yes!! 💜
How are they a threat. What barriers? Charts? lmao.
BTS is a pebble on streaming platforms compared to western artists, just look at Taylor Swifts monthly Listeners on Spotify: 84million and rising.
BTS? Yeah 34 million and its going downwards.
The next biggest kpop group? Blackpink at 24million.
The third biggest kpop group you might ask? New Jeans at 19 million
The fourth biggest kpop group? Thats IVE at 11 million.
Kpop is TINY and will never be a GLOBAL phenomenon that you kids think it is or will be.
And its mostly thanks to the fact the "Stans" are mentally unwell and deluded to h*ll.
And with terrible songs like Butter and Dynamite with lyrics intended for kids and simpletons. Lmao. Good luck.
Thank you Army for taking the time to document this issue with actual facts and current records. We'll find a way to keep fighting for BTS and hopefully future artists will not suffer the abuses of the industry. We'll always find a way!
Army fighting!
YT doesn't just delete views. Recently I was trying to make a playlist and when I searched Haegeum I got the teaser, the making of, and 1000 reaction videos but NOWHERE in my options was the official mv. I had to start copying the url and putting it in the search bar to be able to add it. Also it trickles down to other creators. For example I had this video in my watch later list. If I put a cooking video in watch later then every time I log on YT it pops up on my recommended list as a reminder that I wanted to watch. This NEVER came up on my recommendations. It's ridiculous.
Yo I noticed that too, I was trying rewatch a video I had watched before so I searched for it from the search bar.... scrolled and scrolled and I couldn't find it. I eventually had to go into my watch history and and find it there. That's shady af

This is actually crazy like when i wasn't an ARMY and heard about them just like everyone i was amazed by their popularity too and thought they're like every other artists growing naturally but it amazes and shocks me to the core that how much successful and yet so humble BTS are with all this corruption and restrictions music industry and platforms put on BTS . While the other artists get insane playlisting , radio , autoplay , no freezing and views deletion , no shadowbanning on multiple platforms even instagram (freezing follower count cuz some ppl had reporting parties on BTS member's profiles esp TAE'S 💀) twitter ( hide # like JIMIN and TAEHYUNG and more cuz they kept trending almost every 2 business days💀) tiktok ( allegedly using bts #s gets less views compared to when you don't use them for the same videos 💀) youtube freezing and deleting 1M+ views almost every hour or 2 especially since solo releases ( remember when yt deleted 45M+ views from ON mv right in front of our eyes making it go from 80M+ to some 40M 💀💀) spotify with massive filtering rate ( remember BUTTER ist week streams were 99.37M and got filtered to 58.12M 💀💀💀) billboard changing rules every time BTS topped charts and this time with JIMIN they didn't even change rules cuz it didn't affect anyone else but JIMIN making sales go from 112k (?) to 14k thus deleting 90% of them without any explanation 💀💀 and removing their top social artist category since BTS started winning it every year 💀💀hanteo deleting 700k+ sales from JIMIN and hiding their real time charts for the first time ever since formation 💀💀 radio not playing the actual most requested songs ( like crazy being #1 most requested song with over 95% requests compared to others but got removed from top 10 most requested songs💀) and much more let's not even talk about award shows 💀💀. Mind you all this in broad day light and openly right in front of our eyes imagine what they be doing behind curtains??💀💀💀 Crazy how BTS survives all this and still manages to stay on top TRUST ME NO OTHER ARTIST COULD SURVIVE THIS SHIT AND THAT'S WHY BTS ARE THE REAL AND MOST ORGANIC ARTISTS EVER WITHOUT ANY INDUSTRY SUPPORT AND CONSTANT MASSIVE SABOTAGE BELIEVE IT OR NOT 🤷♀️

This video kind of hits differently now after seeing how the company have handled each members debut & the difference in promotions they all had along with western involvement.
This is why I don’t listen to the radio anymore. I’d prefer to support the artists that I like, rather than the ones that the industry tells me to like💜
It’s actually good that the industry don’t benefit from us ARMYs. I feel sorry for the artists who have the industry’s support but don’t get as much from the fans, the reason why they can’t sold out stadiums. Organic what? Lol
Exactly after being at no 1 on hot 100 for weeks you should definitely have that large fandom to go for stadiums and sellout but end up at arena..seems like your label do most of the work than your fans
I remember when CZcams started changing their streaming rules short after BTS started breaking the records for amount of views in the first 24 hours with every comeback they made. It got me really mad because when that happened... Blinks started celebrating that they suddenly got those records, because yeah... they didn't have their streams deleted like us. That was one of the reasons that made me stop staning BlackPink... It was to obvious to me how de industry was benefiting them over BTS, talking about them as the "KPop Queens" when, at the time, BlackPink had debuted a short time ago, and BTS always had a longer and bigger career with bigger and more important achivements. I don't hate BlackPink, but at the time it felt really unfair and made me feel a little bit resentful.
Nowadays I don't really care about award ceremonys or charts. It is pretty obvious how Europe and the USA just care about their own production and doesen't really care about what other parts of the world have to offer unless they can do a profit about it. And I don't think that charts and awards are a real reflection about what the world is actually consuming... Like how kdramas and anime series are massive consumed all around the globe but they are rarely awarded on the western media (And dont forget how the media often talk about this things as some weird "phenomenon").
(Sorry if I said something wrong. English is not my first language and I am a little bit rusty when it comes to speak it myself)
You did great. Im from the US and i totally agree with you.
Agreed but plz don't hate BLACKPINK it's not their fault
You said it perfectly. I wonder if these tactics are also the reason Jpop doesn't really crossover to USA. I mean, at the time, Namie Amuro released an album in mostly English, and nothing happened over here. she had #2 global sales (only below Taylor swift) and is hard to find people that know about her in this part on the world. Not only her, Animes can get popular, but the theme songs don't get anywhere on this side of the world... does that happen with Disney songs? NO
Europe? Maybe you meant UK. European artists from non English speaking countries are one of the most underrated. In this world if you don’t sing or speak in English nobody gives a damn about you.
Same here
Its heartbreaking to witness the industry abuse and manipulate artists. I hope BTS stay in it as long as they decide to. Thankfully fans will support their favorite artists regardless of these crooked systems.
something i want to point out with old town road, i remember when it first came out and it was a country song, but billboard took it off the country charts because it didn’t ‘qualify’. it only became a country song when billy ray cyrus featured. i could go on for days about how the industry is so incredibly racist that they refuse to put almost any black people in the pop category (not to mention international artists from latin american countries, african, asian, basically anywhere but the uk and us
This has been really killing me inside. Whatever they do people just want to hate on them without no reason. It's so frustrating. 🥺🥺🥺
Money is the reason
It hurts me to see this too. They are truly good people, good music, stand for good things, and humble. Good mentors for young people as well as old. I've never followed a group ever until I dived into it all! Truly an amazing group of people!
@@davidday13 Yes. They are amazing and the sabotage really hurts
In a perfect world where talent is recognized, BTS would be hundredfold famous and acknowledged. Imagine how hard they are pushing against these "walls" (along with armys ofc) to be where they stand now. Proud is an understatement. Oh, to be part of this borafckinghae.
If that was the case then some other kpop groups would be famous and not BTS. Since you say the most talented would be at the top. Look at babymon the industry is evolving. They no longer accept idols only excelling at one thing now you're supposed to be an all rounder and an ace with good visuals too. Like babymon looks like a group with no bad dancers - that's crazy. So standards have changed and BTS no longer meet them just bc of how competitive and perfectionistic kpop is.
@@LovelyLittleLillies I see how you would react to this comment like that. I know, there are more idols much more talented than BTS in your eyes, and that's okay. By saying BTS is talented, I am not in anyway implying that other idols are not talented. I agree with you that BabyMonster are talented individuals, but I have to politely disagree with you that BTS do not meet the standards - each of the member can sing, can dance, compose, write their own lyrics, produce are articulate, speak other language, have the experience, knows the in and out of the industry... the list goes on. They are holistic too. They started the competition and frankly, if we are in a talent show, they would be sitting at the judge's corner honey. (Let me edit: perfection is a given standards with performances and such but please, anyone reading this, we just witnessed MoonBin giving up let's not put perfection as standards against people. Have a better day!)
@@iianebb_0613 I might've missread your comment when I first saw it. Thank you for such a polite reply.
@@LovelyLittleLillies 2 pac didn't have best rapping style but still was most influential rapper, it's not about best at rapping or singing, it's the whole package along with the experience and hardship and be the trendsetter not follower, you can watch her video about trends that BTS has created, you will understand things better,I am not hating any group they are already lost bcz of their company obsession with BTS and their records, the amount of money and resources they are wasting on promotion is scary, we all know how kpop company work,all extra expenses will be cut off from the artist pocket and the earnings to the company, it's way worst in kpop than in west bcz they are a lot of members dividing the earnings.
Not everyone has a share in their company or allowed to go solo to have some extra influence.
Every group members is good at something or everything, Liam Payne was considered the best singer in 1 d but Harry styles was no doubt good singer but always least prefer one in case of singing talent ,but looks at his solo achievement and artistry, it's don't work that way.
i'm just arriving here after what billboard did to agustd, not even an APPEREANCE in the charts and they fucked up their schedule. there is something going on behind scenes and i do not like it at all.
"MAJORITY OF BTS FANS ARE NOT KPOP FANS" This is so true. I am a South African Army and besides BTS I only listen to Taemin.
omg i love taemin!
If only ARMY could create our own streaming platform, that would surely show the world
And a ticketing platform.
@@esthertravis4469 yes! 💜
and bts having their own company🫢 i mean the current one is already good but with what's happening lately, i'm starting to feel not good about that company...😅
The moment Jimin bb situation happened, my body was literally trembling in anger and disgust, doing that so shameless ugh. But it proves again that bts and army only have each other, so let’s not get distracted and support them in the way we can 💜
I am still enraged at what happened for Like Crazy, I remember being on Twitter when everyone was working hard to ensure we are stable but freaking billboard still fucked us up. Without reason and explanation. I remember looking at the charts the following week and wondering how every single song is still there. This video deffo helped me understand, that people in the music industry don't even care about public opinion on music, they will pay whatever to get to the top and critise the artist that release their music genuinely. They just hate BTS, because they don't give that industry money like they want. BTS's music is timeless unlike the music industry who create songs for trends.
June 30th, 2023 new rule: Billboard new rule, Billboard 100 will stop count singles digital downloads from the artists stores, so, digital sales from BTS US store will not count anymore towards the 100s. 😡
"BTS depends on their fandom and their fandom only. That's what terrifies the industry" 👏
I hate that this has happened to Jimin, or any artist they have targeted with these “pop up rules” to make them fall from the chart. BUT JIMIN is laughing all the way to the bank because whether he is recognized by the Billboard charts or not, Jimin’s artistry is recognized and appreciated worldwide. Billboard is becoming the frog in the well. Jimin is too far above this level and his music is bought and listened to by the world!💜
The USA music industry hate the fact they can't make money out of BTS and HYBE. Just the same way the Kpop industry can't make money off BTS and HYBE they hate it.
To be honest all their solos are just masterpieces
74 years old and I absolutely LOVE BTS!!!!!!!!!! That's my daily adrenaline rush. EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I listen to their music EVERYDAY!! "Baepsae". I love the choreography and the song. They're simply amazing!! I'm just saying. They are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!
I just discovered the band several months ago. I'm almost 70 and I thought I was BTS Army's oldest member. LOL! We're in good company.
I haven't liked new music like BTS since the era of Doo Wop Bands, Beatles and the Motown artists.
BTS are independent artists against the corrupt music industry that has tried to sabotage and destroy them for years. That´s why it´s important as ARMYs to always support them. If you have money, buy their music, albums, DVDs and merch. Nowadays you can find a lot of their products on local music stores, even on Amazon. That money goes directly to them. Streaming with premium accounts sends a signal to the industry that there are fans paying to stream their music. If you don´t have money, you can also stream with free accounts, those streams also help for global consumption charts. Fighting, ARMYs, we will win this war against the corrupt music industry!!
Buying albums means that BTS get more money they get pennies for streaming. At least in the UK they get paid more that streams for getting played on our Radio. So UK ARMY we need to request their songs and they are doing well in the UK charts. Lets do what we can. At least they'll get paid rather then being asked to pay the radio stations for air time.
Excellent breakdown of everything. Thank you
I can't find them in shops in the UK all our music shops are almost gone. We buy online instead. I buy BTS albums via Amazon UK then wait for them to arrive from South Korea it usually takes 7 -10 for an order to arrive. A bit longer if I pre order. As they don't send them out until release day of course.
BTS dominate the whole music industry! No matter what their doing to sabotage them. always BTS paved the way. They are extremely talented individual and got ARMY behind them💜💜💜
We will fight everyday as a fandom , as a family , we will support our boys, it’s very obvious that industry is afraid of their success . They can’t deny the fact that BTS doesn’t need any external support. They have army’s. Let them cut all the streams let them filter the views but everybody knows BTS doesn’t needs industry , the industry needs BTS . And now its not even about views or awards , it’s about being there for your artists. If BTS chooses to make songs even in their fifties , Army’s will still be listening to it. We are FOREVER. We are BULLETPROOF 💜💜💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Fighting bts, fighting armys, fighting music industry we will continue to grow higher than you can ever imagine
At least the money is going to bts' pocket instead of these corrupt people. ARMYs, we are strong, we will continue giving them support and no.1 on charts.
This needs to be published in a big daily newspaper as an article every few weeks... Let the general public know, what's happening... Armies now about the sabotaging, its time to leave defense and take offense position
We need to take this onto Weverse...
You are right, this should be spread in the biggest newspapers and news channels
promote Bora's channel everywhere istfg why is she not in the millions rn
Ask yourselves if you yell in a Forrest and nobody heard you did you still yell? Do you need a third party (billboard) summing up your album sales and collecting data or validate your success? You're still successful irregardless the involvement of a third party. The only reason both BTS and ARMYs are so obsessed with Billboard and Grammys, etc is bc of personal ego, bc y'all wanna put BTS name in history books. And maybe to an extent it's important to not erase actual historical moments, but at the same time this fight with us industry seems so silly. Like if you're getting your money and you've got fans just live a happy life what more do you need? And if you're genuinely big the public will know you irregardless of formal institutions. Like psy broke out on the internet. He didn't appear on our TV stations yet everyone knew him. (I even dk he appeared at an award show in US). Why are newer modules like people from CZcams are so obsessed with validating their success and existence through old outdated established establishments like cable tv?? Are y'all insecure? Is internet itself not enough???
@@LovelyLittleLillies Whoa, there! My goodness, it's not that at all.
Viewing, streaming and sales are one of the few relatively direct ways we fans have of showing BTS our love and support. The fandom is simply too big for us to connect with them on a personal or even professional level. 70m+ fans; what's 100k concert seats to that? What's 50k arena seats or 10k lining the sidewalks to cheer? Not even a fraction of a percent. Most of us will have to live vicariously through the lucky ones that get to be there; it's why fancam videos are so popular- and it's why the company livestreams whenever possible. (Did you know that Suga specifically told his staff not to shut down anyone they saw livestreaming his D-Day concerts?) We'd all like to be there, but there ain't that much room!
So, yes, we get decidedly peevish when media platforms delete our only real *visible* shows of mass support. When YT deletes views and Spot filters streams and radios ignore our requests and BB subtracts 100k sales... yeah, that'd piss anyone off. That's our love and support being thrown out like garbage.
And yeah, we do get quite angry when rules are broken or rewritten to specifically exclude BTS. (Just as The Weeknd's fans were *quite* livid when he had the song of the year and didn't even get a grammy nomination.) We don't like discrimination. We don't like the insults. So what do we do?
Well, it turns out that getting mad doesn't accomplish much. So we get even, instead. We stream some more, we buy some more, we view some more...and we spread the word. We hop onto channels and encourage new reactors. We bring more people into our ARMY. It's great music, after all.
We aren't at all concerned that the industry is going to somehow stuff BTS off into a corner and make the world forget about them. It's not about that. It's about passing the word through the fandom and about letting the rotten-to-the-core industry know that we're aware of their ugly little tricks- and we don't approve. And that no matter how they try to squash us, how they ignore us, how they delete and filter and rewrite rules to stifle us, we won't be stifled. That's all. The best revenge for ARMY is getting BTS the awards and records *in spite of* the industry.
We good?
I recently noticed that why jimin's song is not getting views ..... And today got to know this all ..... WOW .....I can't believe how dumb i was thinking that all those charts are real ...GOD...
ARMY'S come on lets stream BTS song more and more and share them ... we need to do it ...let most of theirs mvs reach 1 billion
they just have us ....BTSXARMY FOREVER
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
BTS started from zero. they develop by times with hard hard work and the creativity to enhance their capability. They tried all genres in their learning process. Each member has shown their growth too. Specially, their emotional intelligent experience in relationship with ARMY also started from nothing to something valuable, they influence each other. This rarely happened with others. BTS as group or as personal respect and love their fans who supported them from the very beginning. It shows from their talking about each other, from their live streaming's topics of conversations. Especially during live streaming, they have shown their truth about themselves, their feelings, normal feelings. Therefore the ARMY can sense the authenticity of their Idols. ARMY can relate to them naturally too. This is what happened between BTS and its ARMY. The charts can be controlled but what they have to face is that something that they cant control is the true connection, the emotional intelligent relationship between BTS and the ARMY
Now we should stream harder as the music industry is getting more evil now
22:02 this is why I purchased my very first BTS music. It really pissed me off how the industry used them for eyes but refused to acknowledge their greatness I gave them the one thing that the western media worships my 💵 💕💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💕
So what did you think? I see 💜💜💜💜💜💜 so I think we have a new ARMY friend, right?
Part of the 99% that not going anywhere 💜
I use CZcams Music as my primary streaming provider, and what shocked me was when I realized how much they favour western music when it comes to creating your personal music mixes. If I listen to a western pop song once, it will automatically go into my personal mixes, but for BTS and other kpop songs I have to listen to them multiple times before they are put there (if they are added at all), and sometimes the western songs that I listened to once would actually replace kpop songs that I listen to everyday...
Same goes for the Listen again section.
l am an older Army Bts Fan, Love their music, Although l only speak English, l Love that they sing in their own korean Language, Love their messages, Best thing that has happened in the music world for a long time, They are 7 Multitalented unique Boys, Thank you Bts for all the joy you have bought to Millions of Army when we needed it. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The success of BTS is unmatched by any K-pop group/artist & even in the US. As a BTS it infuriates my soul to see how they’re unfairly treated in the music industry. Army we all know they don’t need BB, Grammy’s etc because it’s BTS & Army against the world. All we need is BTS because they haven’t been tainted by the ugly world of the music industry. Another reason why we love their music because it speaks to us & moves us. Let’s keep doing what we can with all our might to show the members Army will always be there because the music they make is for Army!! UGH effin frustrating!!
What they can't ignore is the full concerts for days. Just a few artist can do that. I am happy they have weverse, they created their own platform.
ARMY let's just support them for decades to come and not care what the numbers say. We'll show up and we'll sell out and we'll do it time and time again. Let that be proof enough.
I knew those businesses were shady! Wow I can believe they will go out their way to look up IP addresses and credit cards and debit cards info? For purchasing Jimin’s Face album because he hit number 1 on bb100 charts and changed the rules accordingly to fit artist that weren’t selling to stay on the charts and wanted him to free fall to teaching him a lesson! That’s really nasty dealing. We need to keep our eyes on BTS because this sound like some mafia sh!+!! Keep buying, streaming and supporting Face album, all 5 versions Like Crazy, DDay, The Astronaut, Jack in the box, on the street and indigo. Music industry is so manipulative.
That's illegal behaviour here in the UK it breaks 3 of our laws. It can end up with prison time having to be served.
Ill say it again and again.
Army's need channels like these to see the behind the curtain bulls**t that goes on with BTS in front of our eyes
I’m not a k-pop fan. I’m a BTS fan. I became ARMY during their hiatus. Somehow we are beating the odds 💜🫶🏼💜
Welcome to the family 💜
That is the same for me. I hope we can all support our boys as ARMYs, always, together, and forever.. 😊
Omg it must feel crazy rn 💜
This is more thorough investigation that actual criminal investigations! Thank you Boracity for being ON POINT! STREAM, PURCHASE, REQUEST, REPEAT, ARMYs!
This video encapsulates the whole situation so perfectly. All the unfairness that occurs on the daily needs to be addressed and we need an outlet where we can express how absolutely angry we are with the way things have been playing out. Im really happy you decided to make this video and im impressed with how you were able to touch on all the points so well.
BTS are too powerful, they rule the industry, Billboard still discriminate against them, they just dont want to see Asian artists at the top of their charts, but BTS as a group and in their solo careers always dominate and will continue to succeed regardless
I think the problem is that they don't want to see an Asia group with organic success being on top, but they don't have a problem to do a mediaplaying with others...
Open your eyes. What I see is billboard - an American entity being so powerful it has influence on some foreign non English speaking country on the other side of the world. Instead of using your own tool to calculate success you're chasing billboard alongs with BTS and rest of army. Despite BTS worldwide success billboard still got you in a chokehold. Did you realize this? so who's powerful here? American pop culture influence is still supreme - you can't deny this. No matter what awards are won in Asia y'all still want American awards...
@@LovelyLittleLillies exactly billboard are powerful no matter what this people just don't get it their is a reason y bts wanted American awards
@@spikeyamore411 billboard isn't actually powerful ARMYs give it power. Most music listeners in America don't pay attention to chortd
@@LovelyLittleLillies actually i don't think so billboard has been there before armys they were relevant before them u could Clearly see western artist competing against it
I can't fu*kin wait for them to come back as OT7 again in 2025, and when that happen, ARMYs will show the world who's "actually" running the music industry! 💜💥 for now stay pressed and good luck. Our time will come.
Damn fuc*kin true 💜🅐🅡🅜🅨⁷⟬⟭💜 .. It hurts a lot.. They deserve so much.. These unfair practice I never know about it 😢
The first time I heard them I knew they would be great. They were great from day one. Thats why the music industries did everything they could to curtail their success.
I said it a thousand times and I am saying this again today that "no one can surpass BTS no matter what as long as army is with them"---
