If the next chart says "Permission to Dance 1 to 15" and "Butter 7 to 23", the dopamine I'd get....

Watch Army mass panic-buy on Friday and Butter return to no.1. Don't get your hopes up people

Friday is the first day of the new tracking week so it will be late..for this monday hot 100 update BTS maybe won't be at the top (finally!!)

Shh, maybe if we go to those BTS accounts on Twitter and tell them the tracking week has shifted and it is now Saturday-Friday. The one thing about BTS stans is that many of them are gullible, and may actually believe it.

[Choco]

What I find weird is that Billboard doesn't find anything wrong with the crowdfunding thing where they send money to the fans to buy the digital copies.

How do we know ultimately that the label isn't behind this? How is it any different from the label just outright buying the 140k copies? This whole thing is so fraudulent and there are so many ways to game the system that I'm shocked it's only BTS doing it so well (although most other acts that game the system like Taylor or Nicki have actually achieved those heights with legitimate bonafide smashes, so they seem fine with the #1 peak and subsequent drop a la "cardigan" or "TROLLZ").

Also for the one guy that hates telepatia for some reason, it just went Top 10 on Pop radio

In what way did I lose? Blinding Lights is making a run at the Top 10 again in Week 85. For me, that’s a win.

My favourite reply lmao. We should be slapped for being obsessed 😂😂😂

[rimetm]

I don't understand the ones saying that we're "spying on" or "stalking" their chart accounts. Those order numbers are important for chart predictions and it's not normal for stans to want to hide those.

The way he apparently keeps wanting to lose in these threads. Doubling down on dumb and delusional, and acting like tying himself to Blinding Lights in way that makes him think he's winning because its winning.  It's bizarre, especially for a grown-ass man in his 30s. He just can't help himself. An unfortunate product of the School of ATRL, perhaps, but we all control our own behavior, so that is not an excuse.

Alright, I'm gonna do a vague prediction - just for fun.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}BTS Stans completely beef it, get confused by the buying ratios and both songs tank. People have mentioned before how the stan fanbase has difficulty doing basic math, are quick to anger, and are easily frightened by complex words and shapes. After 8 weeks of buying, many will simply tap out, thus failing their beloved Bangtan Boys

this has also happened with Mariah Carey several times, such as with Triumphant, and also with Obsessed (though ironically with Obsessed, it far out-performed the new switchover "first single" I Want to Know What Love Is).

How? In what way was "I Want To Know..." a switchover lead single?

So I thought I clearly remembered them re-labeling IWTKWLI as the lead single, however doing some research back on this, I guess accounts on it varied. E.g. scroll down to the second paragraph in this article: www.mtv.com/news/1619032/mariah-careys-next-single-announced/

However even if you erase this example, there are literally dozens if not hundreds of other examples by other artists. It doesn't take anything away from my point.

[KeepDeanWeird]

Pop Smoke's album projections keep dropping. Any guess how many tracks in Top 50?

Clearly we have BTS Derangement Syndrome. Who cares? The charts have NEVER been accurate for multiple reasons, pre-SoundScan/BDS, the 90s debacle, iTunes suppression in 00s, component weighing - especially during iTunes era, etc.

More concerning than BTS, how in the world in JB still so popular? Yummy should've crushed him. Who are these deranged fans supporting him? LOL

[singingrulebritannia]

Is "WUSYANAME" finally stabilizing? This is the first week that it's gained on both the Monday and Tuesday Spotify updates.

The Ariana Focus-Moonlight situation is a clear example of this, as that single was fully marketed and promoted to be the lead single off of the intended soon to be released album "Moonlight," however the whole project was scrapped when Focus underperformed, and they went on with the revamped project "Dangerous Woman," pretending that Moonlight never happened.

An entire project was never scrapped lol. The song "Moonlight" is literally the opening track on "Dangerous Woman". She just simply changed what song the album would be titled after. 

The album itself might not have been completely scrapped, but it was definitely re-tooled and re-marketed, and although the song Moonlight remained, surely the rest of the tracklist did not remain the same, as Focus itself wasn't included (at least on the standard American version), which was my main point about them changing up the lead single: At first it was "Focus," and then they switched it to the title track "Dangerous Woman"

^ I believe he peaked with 8 songs in the top 10. It's all downhill from here because more songs will be entering the top 10 soon. He'll probably end the tracking week with 2 songs in the top 10, maybe even 1.

I called it. Pop Smoke is down to only 1 song in the US Apple Music top 10 with his next song at #16.

[Choco]

Projection is below 100k for the Pop Smoke album's opening as well.
