"sold 34,300 downloads (soaring 564%)."
I suppose it's acceptable that they used mass buying tactics since they would've been #1 if it wasn't for bts's mass buying tactics.

Good #1.
No shade though, but the song sold an extra 30,000 this week. Are we going to pretend that doesnβt stand out as a red flag. He doesnβt have rabid stans and there was no orchestrated buying party to support $20,000+~ spent. Did his label just start buying copies in his webstore?
Thatβs the thing about this web store mass buying. If one person can buy 1,000 copies and have them count what exactly would stop a label from also arranging that.

Not only that, LNX put an end to the BTS stream (oops, I meant streak, but since BTS sucks at streaming, Iβll leave it like this):

A question that I have had since this comes up repeatedly Has anyone in any Twitter feed boasted about being the proud owner of 500 copies of Butter or any other song for that matter? I wonder if some proud BTS fan has ever come forward with that. There should be someone by now?

great that Stay missed another week at #1 . it is an ok song but don't think it deserved 7 weeks at #1.Peaches the better song deserved way more than the 1 week it got.

Stay definitely overstayed its welcome at #1, but in the end, 7 weeks at #1 seems like the appropriate number. Stay got 7 weeks at #1 on the RS 100 and also the Hot 100.

Disgusting to see another song at number one because of massbuying/multiple versions. Well, at least Industry Baby is a huge hit unlike every BTS number one. And it's a good song too.

*sigh* yeah mass-buying is annoying, but Iβm not too annoyed because this song wouldβve been #1 already but was blocked by mass-buying. This was its rightful peak
There is now a #1 hit with the lyric βI donβt f**k bitches, Iβm queerβ π
Edit: wait is this the first #1 with the word queer in it
