I agree. When Therefore I Am went to #2, I knew for sure Life Goes On had the #1 in the bag. Not only will BTS have #1 and #2, I think they will also scrape the bottom of the Top 10 with Stay/Blue & Grey.

^idk how you came to this assumption. But based on early predictions Dynamite will be #3. And none of the other tracks are top 40, idk about barely making top 10 when they can't even make top 40.

[musicspy]

Are you sure both Life Goes On and Dynamite will overtake Positions and Therefore am I? They re both pretty strong

I personally just don't forsee a song with pretty average streaming outside of youtube with no radio play being number one

Like "Dynamite"? Granted it had better Spotify numbers but still, big sales can go a long way...

At least a ton of women in country got their well-deserved dues. Maybe now Nashville will play them more. Bro country is dying out. Who knows? Maybe this wave of talented women can define the next era of country.

The Grammys have long been better to females in country than the country industry awards, but it hasn’t made much of a difference to this point.

This. Personally, I wouldn't be shocked seeing 250K+ sales of Life goes on.

that it is... Very true. Dynamite felt bigger idk lol. I would ask if billboard is ever gonna do something about sales having this much power but the tweet saying "BTS has the top 2 this week" is gonna get over 1 million likes and retweets so I'd bet against it.

[Crimsonio]

BTS stans need to find a hobby, like when Bethenny told Jill to find a hobby on RHONY

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

I guess Taylor's going to gradually release 17 of these:

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Omg Taylor, just release exile as an official single already

[MitchWolf: Super Chart Genius]

I heard Iris will exit the Hot 100 due to the song being pulled across the stream-verse entirely

If they’re gonna do so, it’s gonna be in January once all the Christmas songs leave and they can figure out IMO the three most pertinent issues toward the accuracy of the Hot 100: sales, remixes, and the weighting of radio. Maybe reinstating the Holiday charts as well so that we can avoid the annual plague of Christmas music (even though I’ll admit that them forcing out long-running songs is a good thing as it prevents us from getting a glut of Year-End repeats; keep in mind that Sucker and I Don’t Care likely would’ve made the 2020 YE if the holiday music never charted).

^One thing I noticed about the chart is that it doesn't include Dynamite.

[strongerq]

^Well despite having 1.1M song sales. Almost all are at  0.69$ lol

And the streaming is not existent compared to other hit songs.

As far as the charts this week, I think a lot of people are going to be irritated because it's very likely that BTS is going to be #1 and #2 this next week. Since mid Oct. there has been a Dynamite CD for sale with all 8 remixes, the original and instrumental version of Dynamite. They all shipped out the same time as Be and the Life Goes On vinyl (restocked after selling out then sold out again) and cassettes. Army has been raising a lot of money to help US fans who don't have the money buy all of the singles of the album as individual songs so they count for Hot 100. There is even a possibility of Dynamite blocking Life Goes On. Might want to prepare yourselves in advance. I'm not sure if not completing digital album in order to try to album bomb BE is impacting album sales or not. I'm not really too informed on how that works to be honest.

I agree. When Therefore I Am went to #2, I knew for sure Life Goes On had the #1 in the bag. Not only will BTS have #1 and #2, I think they will also scrape the bottom of the Top 10 with Stay/Blue & Grey.

I think a lot of the sales for Stay and Blue & Grey will get filtered. Unfortunately there are some Chinese solo stans (these are also usually the really toxic ones on twitter) that have been told and pleaded with repeatedly not to try to buy from US stores but they don't listen. They are the ones that keep taking over iTunes with the other two songs. Wish I could reach through the monitor and smack them or something. They are so annoying.

100% they both have physicals. Army is not like other fan bases. We are collectors of physical copies. Those Dynamite CDs first went up on a week when there was a desperate push to fight for the #1 spot. People were ordering them before realizing they were not going to ship until around 11/20. People don't seem sure if the CDs are going to count for 1 song or 10. Life Goes On had pre-sales for vinyls and cassettes. The vinyls sold out once and more were made and it sold out a second time. The cassettes also sold out. Those are probably going to at least match the first week dynamite physicals. I'm confident Life Goes On has the steam to go to #1. What I'm not sure about it whether or not Dynamite has enough steam to pass it, but I think it will be enough to pass everything else.

Never underestimate BTS and Army. It's the first week and all US Army are able to buy from iTunes and the web store. There are way more of us than people think. We are highly organized and raised an insane amount of money to donate to fans who lack the financial resources to purchase. The goal is a "Billboard All Kill." Army wants to give BTS #1 and #2 on the Hot 100, both World charts and Billboard 200. We want to chart all songs on the album as well. It's a lofty goal but if any fanbase can do it Army can. An "All Kill" is a term used in South Korea when a group tops all of the charts at one time.

The reason Dynamite felt bigger is because it had radio. Life Goes On is a much better song, one the guys actually wrote and produced, but because it's not in English radio snubs it. This is why Army uses sales to make up for lack of radio. It's the same way fan bases of other artists use streaming to compensate for lack of radio. You can't really blame Army for using the only means they have to get BTS the recognition they have worked so hard for.

Lol, essentially admitting they’re cheating the charts and are okay with it. Gaming the system doesn’t mean it’s accurate.

Even if lgo got Dyanmite's 2nd week sales, 182k, that would guarantee #1, no?

On the brightside the BTS stans seem to be an early lock for the worst fans PMA next year I guess?
