I assume it's too early to congratulate BTS for their first US number one lol.


Edit - 10 million in 25 minutes. The BTS Stans DO NOT play

You have to ask how many of those views are US-based.

Week 1:

ON - 10M out of 125M (8%)

Boy with Luv - 13.6M out of 168M (8%)

So that means so far they have 3.68M US views out of 46M WW. Assuming it is 8% again.

[Xander]

1 & 2 on iTunes... Now let’s see if they can keep it there..

[wavey.]

Oh yes BTS! Let's have some diversity here pls! I would love this next era for them to start well.

I don’t like a million one week number ones, but as I don’t expect BTS is capable of anything more than one week, it wouldn’t bother me at some point if they got a one week number one.

That physical-singles rule is now in effect? I had read that Ms. Cyrus had such singles, though if they weren't shipped by end of yesterday, those wouldn't count for that week's chart, correct?

Correct. Same goes with the BTS Vinyl this tracking week.

[Choco]

Meh. Another frontloaded thingy.

[Raccoon]

It would be VERY interesting to see BTS #1 and then the following week see Blackpink & Selena compete for #1 as well.

Yesss that would be so awesome tbh. So many different sounding number 1s would be great.

[fridayteenage]

Tho as bp's peaked 33 so far, I think many would be ecstatic with like T10.

[Choco]

Selena can be a streaming force when she wants to, specially during release week, so it's at the very least gonna be their highest charting song so far, with ease.

Where will Mimi be?

I doubt she will even chart. Maybe she make appearances on the R&B charts.

Looks like BTS added 2 more versions to their D2C store for pre-order to drop on the 24th, the same day as their 2nd music video.

All of this for week 1. Weird that Columbia R is doing this instead of saving these drops for week 2.

Yeah but they know that outside of the first week this won't be doing anything so for them it is either getting to #1 or it isn't getting anywhere

[wavey.]

I'm sure they have a plan for week 2. Virtual performances on shows at least. Merch, whatever it takes skskskskks.

[Sara]

They are performing on the VMAs that week too.

Drake releasing his album on that day along with Katy. They have no chance

[Xander]

^ That was a rumor for drakes release. He’ll more than likely not to drop on the 28th

[andrebra]

Not really into K-Pop but I actually dig the song. With that being said, I’m still rooting for WAP 100%. Dynamite isn’t immediately surging on AM (seems to be having a similar performance to Midnight Sky so far) so it’ll be interesting to see how fast it can grow on there and what kind of Spotify streams it’ll pull.

Yeah he would've announced it by now. Also Katy won't have a #1 that week. She hasn't been charting well lately.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

I wonder if anything from SMILE will chart once it drops. I could see Daisies coming back but even then it doesn't seem like a sure fire thing.

[thegreatdivine]

13 hours post-release and Dynamite is yet to reach the top 100 of Apple Music US.

Now you know damn well

[KeepDeanWeird]

For chart records, it would be interesting if Dynamite/Dynamite Instrumental both hit Top 40 (or Top 10). I'm sure Billboard assigns all physical points to the side that's charting highest on another metric - airplay or streaming. Obviously, the vocal here.

This may have happened with OutKast - "Hey Ya"/"The Way You Move" - there was a physical but I think HY got all the chart points from the physical because HY had most airplay. I don't really remember or if it switched later. Both reached #1 so not important.

There won't be two versions charting. The instrumental's sales go to the original, seeing as they're both the same song. All versions of a track that are sold count for the song. Only when there's a remix that is basically a new song with no similarities to the original altogether are versions separated.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

They released a visualizer for Mood Swings. They should really send the song to radio, it's up solely on streams and it could use the support. It's the type of rap love song radio usually eats up.

[M5]

I really hope Mariah can chart

[fridayteenage]

On 86k
Wap 125k

Now that bts/their label can see just how far bundling and such can go this year, I wonder how high the sales can be. Idol had 43k. If it doubles again...172k?

I think that Mood Swings definitely needs to be the next single. The Woo is flying up the Rhythmic and Urban charts, so maybe once it peaks they'll release Mood Swings.
