If anything, they're probably more jealous that they don't have an act on their roster with fans stupid enough to dish money over to them the way Army does for BTS. This. I know thier label has to be eating good.

I mean, if we really think Billboard should change something and believe Billboard listen to the record labels, people could organize campaigns to attract the attention of non-BTS record labels and artists because they're the ones at a disservice. Although do we really think they actually care? If anything, they're probably more jealous that they don't have an act on their roster with fans stupid enough to dish money over to them the way Army does for BTS. True, but I can definitely assure you other labels and artists do care because they simply don't have such fans. For sure they are definitely starting to take notice. Each additional week at #1 is a week less at #1 for other artists, and feathers are definitely being riled and their arsenals must be starting up.

If you DM me i can prove it ain't me. How exactly can you "prove" that though? I'll admit I am a bit suspicious myself. You are the one who revealed to us that tweet with the screen capture, so you obviously know about it and it would seem not as likely (though not impossible) that you would just randomly happen to scroll by it. Also a little something else I noticed, it might not have to do with anything, but your profile indicates you first joined this board in 2018, but didn't start posting until very recently if I'm not mistaken, 3 years later.. Edit: I was mistaken, it wasn't your first post, but still relatively few posts until recently I can direct you to all 3 of my twitter accounts. Those posts pop up on my timeline because i am an army. I am the one who chose to cut out names because i feel that when sharing screenshots you shouldn't share names and stuff from other sites. Also, i joined 3 years ago because that is when BTS first started having a chance on the charts and i was curious about it. However, they were only hitting 85 so there weren't Any debates or mass buying to rally against. I finally started talking because i hate what is happening. I hate my timeline being so obsessed with this title that unfortunately doesn't really belong to them organically as my timeline is wont to say. However, if i said any of this on my twitter (and i did try) i would lose every friend that i have gained in the army community and as stated previously, when theyre not talking about mass buying, i enjoy talking to them. Here is the actual screenshot i took before cropping. These tweets are common my timeline because I am an army and these are big accounts looking for some reason to drive people to buy. So i see this stuff and thought i would share. Not in a vicious way but because if theyre gonna screenshot ya'll, why shouldn't you know?

Has there been any indication as such anywhere? My theory is that most labels don't actually care about the Hot 100 except in the contest of their biggest acts, and even then it's just bragging rights and an extra promotional item. There are tons of other charts and measures that showcase how well an artist is doing that is more relevant to the audience of those artists. I'd use streaming charts as a marketing tool over the Hot 100.

If this is really this serious of a problem, anyone try writing Billboard about this to see if they can recognize what you guys see as a problem and even see if they are willing to change to give you guys the chart you want? We both wasted our keystrokes here. Let em be upsetπ€·π½ Both of you need to shut up with this "If you're so annoyed about this then just write to Billboard" bs.

^As one, the situation came as a result of bad chart rules that either hurt or benefited certain songs. The Billboard 200 was not without flaws in the 1990s due to existence of Top Pop Catalog Albums. The Top Comprehensive Albums chart was representative then and, not surprisingly, it eventually became the present Billboard 200. Absolutely correct on both points. Particularly in the 90s, labels had a choice to not chart a song, limited release single (e.g., 'My Heart Will Go On'), or do a fully stock stores (e.g., 'How Will I Live'). Until the Comprehensive Album chart became current B200, there were huge flaws - like 'Dark Side of the Moon' usually being the only catalog album to chart... the pre-Soundscan chart bias against country and black albums, etc. The biggest flaw in H100 is that the tracks from physical/digital full-album sales don't count to H100. There's no reason why the individual tracks shouldn't get points from the weekly album sales. Those same tracks get the streaming points or, if say, someone buys 9 individual tracks, but not the whole album. It illogical - especially since EVERYTHING counts toward B200.

Though itβs probably less of an issue now than, say, 2015 when Adele should have literally have had the top 11.

I think another way that changes to Billboard's methodology regarding certain metrics can be made is by them getting hit with a lot of negative press. Last year, I knew that when Kenny Chesney's album debuted at #1 over Drake's mixtape despite Kenny's album only reaching the #1 spot because of bundles for his tour (which he cancelled immediately following his album debuting at #1) and despite Drake's mixtape being streamed 20x more than Kenny's album for that week, they'd make some changes. I felt confident of a change being made because publications like the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal both covered what happened and they only covered it because Drake is such a huge artist. Throughout that week, more and more publications were very critical in their remarks, referring to how much of a joke Billboard's charts had become and how easy it was for artists to blatantly game their charts. When I saw all that bad press, I knew it wouldn't be long till they made some changes and I was right. I've noticed that Billboard doesn't like being publicly criticized, having their authority being questioned and getting a ton of negative press. They respond rather quickly to either of those things. I think something similar would have to happen for a smiliar change to be made regarding mass-buying. If an act as major as Adele releases a new single and gets blocked by BTS because of their insistent mass-buying, the bad press from that will be much for Billboard to ignore. It may take a while but changes will be made. Especially if other artists also notice and speak on it and if Adele's label makes a complaint. Short of that, I really don't see them making any changes in regards to mass-buying.

Columbia wouldn't complain about BTS blocking Adele, they wouldn't release Adele's new single while the Army is mass buying and delivering weeks at #1 for their label.

Β€ Matthea Β€ oh right, they're labelmates in the US. I forgot about that. Anyways, my point was that it would take a major artist getting blocked due to BTS' mass-buying and that getting a ton of negative press for Billboard to make any changes concerning that.

(Yes, estimates for this past week place the song's sales outside of the webstore at just 7,000) I don't understand why my fellow army can't see 17 as respectable. i personally think that isn't that bad 6 weeks in when just a couple years ago we were happy to get 1 week at 85. like, plenty of good artists don't spend all their time at #1. Honestly, i'd rather it stay stable in the top 50 then burn out at 1 before tanking. Armys are just like corporatists. Nothing is enough for them and nothing will ever be enough for them.

Imagine spending your entire life savings on trying to get some artist or artists who donβt care that much about you to reach #1 on an arbitrary chart instead of spending it on something thatβs actually fun or helpful or donating some of it to the poor.
Remember, most of the profit that comes from sales goes to the label and the executives in the label (who are probably rich as shit) not the artist. Youβre just making the rich richer and not helping the poor.

Youβre just making the rich richer and not helping the poor. What life savings? Why do you all have this idea in your head that armys are some poor teenagers that spend their last $10 on BTS. Those who buy it are working adults who also buy ton of merch BH release basically every week. And shut up about donating to the poor when there's a legit organization created by Armys with experience who make projects around the world to help. And endless local fandoms who make donation projects like their build a school in China or donated thousands of money in hours to Palestine. They can do both and it's also their money. BTS also are the global ambasadors of Louis Vuitton and today was a fashion show and I bet the clothes will be sold out too. Teenagers you all say? Life savings you say? And armys know BTS are getting richer and they are really happy about it.

It's pretty obvious at this point that Good 4 u is going to return to #1 on the Hot 100 this week. Just like with LTDO, G4u just feels too big to only be a one-week #1.

I don't see anything going recurrent other than maybe Calling My Phone but I think that'll rebound after the Doja Cat/Tyler songs exiting.

I think another way that changes to Billboard's methodology regarding certain metrics can be made is by them getting hit with a lot of negative press. Last year, I knew that when Kenny Chesney's album debuted at #1 over Drake's mixtape despite Kenny's album only reaching the #1 spot because of bundles for his tour (which he cancelled immediately following his album debuting at #1) and despite Drake's mixtape being streamed 20x more than Kenny's album for that week, they'd make some changes. I felt confident of a change being made because publications like the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal both covered what happened and they only covered it because Drake is such a huge artist. Throughout that week, more and more publications were very critical in their remarks, referring to how much of a joke Billboard's charts had become and how easy it was for artists to blatantly game their charts. When I saw all that bad press, I knew it wouldn't be long till they made some changes and I was right. I've noticed that Billboard doesn't like being publicly criticized, having their authority being questioned and getting a ton of negative press. They respond rather quickly to either of those things. I think something similar would have to happen for a smiliar change to be made regarding mass-buying. If an act as major as Adele releases a new single and gets blocked by BTS because of their insistent mass-buying, the bad press from that will be much for Billboard to ignore. It may take a while but changes will be made. Especially if other artists also notice and speak on it and if Adele's label makes a complaint. Short of that, I really don't see them making any changes in regards to mass-buying. Adele and BTS are labelmates in the US. Columbia wouldn't complain about BTS blocking Adele, they wouldn't release Adele's new single while the Army is mass buying and delivering weeks at #1 for their label. Is it reasonable to suggest that Adeleβs delay is being extended purely because of BTS?

Imagine spending your entire life savings on trying to get some artist or artists who donβt care that much about you to reach #1 on an arbitrary chart instead of spending it on something thatβs actually fun or helpful or donating some of it to the poor. Remember, most of the profit that comes from sales goes to the label and the executives in the label (who are probably rich as s**t) not the artist. Youβre just making the rich richer and not helping the poor. What life savings? Why do you all have this idea in your head that armys are some poor teenagers that spend their last $10 on BTS. Those who buy it are working adults who also buy ton of merch BH release basically every week. And shut up about donating to the poor when there's a legit organization created by Armys with experience who make projects around the world to help. And endless local fandoms who make donation projects like their build a school in China or donated thousands of money in hours to Palestine. They can do both and it's also their money. BTS also are the global ambasadors of Louis Vuitton and today was a fashion show and I bet the clothes will be sold out too. Teenagers you all say? Life savings you say? And armys know BTS are getting richer and they are really happy about it. How much do you get paid to spew stuff on here?

I don't see anything going recurrent other than maybe Calling My Phone but I think that'll rebound after the Doja Cat/Tyler songs exiting. Almost Maybes is right on the cusp as well thanks to its collapsing radio. Iβd say its chances of going recurrent this week are 50/50. CMP is probably more likely to exit the week of 7/24.
