I’m just waiting for this to finally break into the hot 100. It’s one of the best (and most shameless) samples this year and I hope it picks up more traction, especially the little bit of controversy that can be propelled by republican outrage. No, race has nothing to do with this. Everyone thinks it’s always about race. Hip hop is frowned upon because they glorify gang violence or just being a POS. Listen to the song and you’ll figure out they’re talking about the people that they actually killed. This type of music is horrible for the younger generation because they slowly become like it. I would know because I used to listen to rappers who were misogynistic and before you knew it I was also hella misogynistic and when I realized that I stopped listening to it. You are what you listen to. People like to give BTS hate but at least they keep it wholesome. Before you call me racist I also don’t listen to white artists who rap like this. My favorite kind of music is Bruno Mars oldies. (Just the way you are, Grenade) say no to gang violence! Stop glorifying it. This is wrong on so many levels. And clearly racially charged. Please don't bring BTS into this. They grew up and get inspired by black rappers. Did you never heard of Hip hop phile? Without them, there would be no BTS. Korean popular music started by "borrowing" from black artists. This is a really bad take.

What is happening on Friday, why everyone is releasing midweek? Billie's new song comes out tomorrow... I think the main reason artists are releasing midweek is because barely anything significant came out this past Friday, and they're seizing the opportunity to debut early while the charts aren't expected to shift much this week beyond the fading album bombs. Also, Lil Baby & Lil Durk have a collab album coming out on Friday, followed by Polo G and Migos releasing their newest respective projects the following week. So this week is a prime opportunity for certain songs to move back to more "normal" positions before the next wave of albums impact the charts.

The new Baby/Durk is #17 on AM after a day not sure if it will be THAT huge, but a bit of album bomb I guess.

Well I feel happy about Liv and Bts getting #1 and now we don't need to worry about them because Billie is challenging to break the record of single-week upward movements again this week so yuh

BTS Stans week 1 - We gotta mass buy y'all for that number one!
TOTC - It's a close race!
BTS Stans week 2 - Wanna see us do it again?? 😤
I hope y'all that are like "just let the BTS Stans manipulate the chart with sales" keep this same energy in a couple months when Butter is challenging for week 17 lol. And in a couple years when they usurp Mariah's amount of number ones

I’m seeing a pattern here. With Dynamite, Army gave up on trying to keep it at #1 after about 7 weeks (not counting the random sales spikes that intermittently sent it back into the top 10 afterwards). In that time, its closest competitor WAP managed to weaken to the point where it just couldn’t compete for #1 anymore. Then with Life Goes On, Army immediately gave up after one week at #1 and the song was gone by the end of the month, largely because it had no major competition due to the holidays.
I think the key here is that Army will maintain BTS singles’ momentum so long as there’s someone genuinely competing for the top with them. If there’s no competition or too much competition, they let it go. I think we’re seeing that again with Butter’s battle with Good 4 U - they’ll keep up the momentum until the other song is clearly done.

Hope Billboard does something about it then. It would be absolutely ridiculous for this to go on for long.

Life goes On wasn't gonna be sent to radio so there was no point of trying to push it after a week or two. They saved their energy to continue focusing on Dynamite.

I don't know if it's just me(it probably is lol),but this good 4 u vs Butter battle for #1 isn't intriguing to me. Well, just like with WAP and Dynamite last year, both songs already went to #1, so it’s not like one is blocking the other from the top. It’s really just for bragging rights at this point.

Lmao I can't wait until late September when we're reading articles titled "Lil Nas X vs BTS?! Who's gonna have the longest Hot 100 number 1".
Cuz this is CLEARLY getting clicks for billboard. Tweet will probably have over 500k likes soon enough and BB will do NOTHING to stop the blatant manipulation (but really why is 4 copies allowed? Like genuinely it makes no sense to allow it) so might as well laugh at the pure bufooneey

Are you sure BTS won't be promoting its third or fourth single in the future by that time though?

I can't imagine why someone would want to inflict the ears of their friends with aural torment unless it was some kind of prank, though.

But it works for the fan bases I suppose and maybe that’s enough for Billboard.

Butter still has physicals that will ship in June. Could be this week. Could be next. And they sold a lot of them so it could challenge for the top spot for a few more weeks. Just FYI.
