But that is not US revenue.

At some point the BTS stanbase decided to dislike Dula Peep and I don't get it lmao. It's not like homegirl dropped the instrumental, remix and the Holiday version like... some other songs have in the past year 👀.

And the carb song is not in direct competition for this chart or the next anyways.

The one thing to keep in mind about BTS Army is that they never forget and rarely forgive. There were loads of Dua stans attacking BTS and Army for mass buying, accusing them of cheating etc. It started out with just pointing out the hypocrisy and lack of criticism but then a lot of Dua stans were REALLY loud about actually breaking rules to try to get #1. BTS fans were not using VPNs and fake addresses, though, so of course when the fanbase saw that there was no way the hypocrisy wasn't going to be pointed out. Long story short...it was payback. BTS Army holds grudges, bigtime.

What a horrible stanbase

The US revenue chart only reports sales/streams' revenue from the US. So that means those 24k sales were from the US.

As you can see it's from someone who just deleted their account. They tried to portray army as those super revengeful monsters who gloat at someone else mistakes. It's true they hold grudges but against people who hurted BTS in the past and that's mostly kpop industry that almost destroyed them.

This person was just weird and dramatic for no reason.

What a horrible stanbase

This applies to every huge stanbase, though - let us not make it exclusively about the ARMY.

Swifties doxxed a reviewer who gave "folklore" a 8/10 and sent death threats to Scooter's wife and children, Arianators sent racist remarks and rape threats to a woman who dared comment something negative about their icon, while Barbz are infamous for being one of the messiest fandoms online. And these are just some of the most notorious cases.

While this obviously doesn't apply to all stans (the normal, sane fans are usually the majority), every artist with a big following will have deranged people who live vicariously through their idol.

That's just a common occurrence in humans in general. You'll always have normal people alongside some crazy individuals. Since all of fandoms consist of humans its bound to happen everywhere whether its music, anime, football, tv shows or anything that can have a fanbase. It's just they aren't as visible because how small they are in numbers

The revenue chart has Levitating with 24k sales. Why didn't they take away the 4k sales that Billboard removed? They always report the same sales of Billboard.

Except this and the wrong sales numbers that were reported initially in the top 10 article.

[rimetm]

Didn’t the Revenue Chart also miss the VPN audit for Kris Wu “Antares” tracks? I know they failed to account for it with the HITS Album Top 50 that week.

[GP]

Where was the random audit for Yummy I wonder?

It never dropped out. Sail had two separate chart runs.

I guess that explains why Sail is the only non-holiday song that charted in 4 consecutive years.

[notgoodenglish]

they did dirty with Dua Lipa, and the question is Why?

[nathanalbright]

I always go with the question of who did someone tick off. It never hurts to see the music industry as being made up of drama queens/kings who hold grudges and take slights, and figure that someone somewhere peeved them off.

yeah, sadly the world has plenty of petty losers so to think Billboard doesn't have a few ..

[chartfreak]

I think you are all making this more dramatic than it is. I'm sure everything was valid.

[Gary]

I am sure that this week was a genuine data and system audit rather than bias against one artist or another...it happens


We should be happy that things got cleaned up and can be more accurate

[nathanalbright]

If you believe that I have a bridge in Alaska to sell you. I don't necessarily think that it was an intentional target at Dua, but it does show, at minimum, a high degree of incompetence, and unless such rigorous standards are applied to other artists, it definitely does look bad.

[divasummer]

What happened to the charts that are normally posted here?
Was the full "Hot 100" posted here?

On a sidenote I found popcentaur very informative for awhile and then it was almost like a robot was typing for him/her.
It was like a broken record... Even when BTS wasn't mentioned they found a way to talk about them and explain the same thing over and over again. He/she reminded me of myself years ago when I made everyone around me hate Whitney Houston. lol. I specifically remember my mother one day saying enough about Whitney Houston I used to like her but now I don't even want to hear or see her anymore. lol
Again I liked popcentaur until THIS particular thread. lol.
(well I don't dislike them)

yes you will have to search for it but it is several pages back at this point

Tfw a chart week is such a mess that people can't find the actual charts.

[Caviar]

Lbr, the Hot 100 threads are basically 30% chart discussion and analysis and 70% BTS and Drake.

I mean, technically, they didn't, or if they did, they were not upfront about it at all. Considering most of the sales that got chucked from Levitating's total this week were from Amazon, you can bet that really doesn't matter for BTS since most of their sales come from their own website.

Probably not. “Data audit” does not mean rule change

What's frustrating is that Billboard hasn't been upfront about things, especially in the last few weeks. Enough with the picking and choosing which sales count towards the Hot 100 calculation and which sales get chucked. Billboard really needs to create/clarify the rule on this.
