Seven=1 I came for their music and I stayed for their music. This is a BTS fan account. Supporting BTS is the reason I'm here. Anything else is extra. (She/Her)
I'm repeating this because it is important.
If you are not from US/PR, then...
You should not buy anything from that BH site for any reason, through ANY method.
Also, if you have "hundreds" of orders going to one or two addresses (for whatever reason that may be), they are…
Instead of yelling at people who may not understand the context of this upcoming cover...
I will try to provide a brief summary of why the song is special and why we should treat it with as much consideration and respect as we did Fix You.
This song was created in memorial.+
I don't even want to post this.
I am so mad right now...I can't even speak.
BB basically deleted ALL D2C sales according to the number reported by FORBES.
That's not a FILTER. That's f-'n DISGUSTING.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so angry.
"But, Namjoon..."
The US industry is pulling a kpop stans tactic and trying to escalate an unrelated BTS issue to cover for Olive Branch.
Her career is on the line because of lawsuits and plagiarism...RIGHT NOW.
And the media is writing about an obscure misquote from BTS...?+
#TheAstronaut
- Hot 100 Update
ARMY, we only had approximately 1,100 orders on the BH store for the entire day.
We need a lot of sales for Jin to debut well on the Hot 100.
Streams alone will not cut it. That's not how these charts work. +
Reminder comeback doesn't start when the album is dropped.
Comeback starts when it is ANNOUNCED.
We will have preorders and activities and maybe a pre-release single to support.
Comeback is NOW.
So...real talk...
We all know re-peaking was entirely attributed to the remix being released.
So, be sure to celebrate both artists today.
Kudos to
@theestallion
and
@BTS_twt
Ya'll...for real we have an opportunity to AMAZING things on BOTH the Hot 200 and the BB 200!!!
I'm trying not to get too excited...but guys...if we can get ALL our platforms working together on streams...
We might have an opportunity for a Top 10 on Hot 100.
OMG, OMG...
Because it is so important...I'm pointing out that between 34M and 38M of these streams were from YouTube.
I will never stop trying to get us to refocus on that platform when.
It is our most important platform... hands down. +
Guys...I really want us to pause and take in what's happening in this moment with BTS.
BTS is transcending to a whole new level right before our eyes.
They are elite level global artists who can sit and talk with Presidents and heads of state.
That is historic.
This was a tough projection.
Full transparency, I’m not 100% sure this week. I'm about 85%.
But for those who follow as I track points through the week, you deserve to see a final estimate from an ARMY acct.
So...I estimate Butter will be Number 1 and PTD 5-8.
Why and How?+
The Jimmy Fallon video does NOT count for BB charts.
BB cut ALL UGC from it's charts the FAll of 2020...after WAP/Dynamite.
As an FYI, I am begging accts to do a little research before spreading information.
You can read below for a detailed explanation of how this happened.+
Anyways, 770k sales is about...
20 MILLION US Dollars.
Companies don't just make $20,000,000 "mistakes" like that.
So, I hope BH and HYBE stays on them to "find" those sales and make sure they get added to Jimin's total.
You know what's sad...if they would not have tried to gatekeep BTS.
Especially during MOTS7...when that album DOMINATED the US and every major global market.
ARMY would not feel like we have to break the effin' system to get BTS their flowers.
They brought this on themselves.
If BB deleted sales again, and it looks like they did, then some things seem pretty obvious atp.
The issue isn't repeat emails cause we used new ones.
It isn't IP or payment info because week 1 sales would not have counted if that was a problem.
Is the new rule no D2C allowed?
BigHit Shop Sales Data
We have 176 orders for today.
Right now, we don't have the sales we need to be top 3.
To be top 3, we need 125K orders
To push for number 1, we need 130K orders
We are at approx 120K orders right now.
We can do it, but we have to BUY today and Thurs.
The numbers
Wk 2, O* is projected to have 430-500 points.
Right now, Butter is probably around 375 points.
Sales from other platforms may give us a boost of up to 60 points.
So, we ARE in position to lock this up today, as long as we keep buying.
We've got this.
Jimin doesnt deserve this.
This is what bothers me the most.
He worked hard on his debut album and singles and all we were trying to do is support it well.
And we did an outstanding job doing that.
And hatred and bitter gatekeepers do this crap.
We can't let this issue go. +
Reminder...
YouTube is hands down our best platform...for EVERY country.
We need to maximize it for cb day, week, and the month following for longevity.
Aiming for 100M+ streams is no longer about records, think of it as...
The new American Express...if you get my drift. 😉
Enjoy the song, listen to the song, understand the song.
There is nothing wrong with covering this song.
When it was performed, it was performed with a mix of sadness for the loss but also hope for better days.
Music like this should make you feel and get through tough times.
Just a reminder that those 100 Million+ YouTube streams we get in a day....ALL count toward the charts.
And in a time where we NEED EVERY
stream...discouraging the fandom from trying to reach 100M+ seems like an odd take to me.
YouTube is our strength, our best platform. 🤨+
GOMD Hot 100 Options/Goals - Estimate of our charting options.
No 1.
Points: 330
Sales: 110k 🎯
Top 2 thru 5
Points: 225-250
Sales: 55k - 70k 🎯
Top 10
Points: 195
Sales: 40k 🎯
Based on Day 1 streams, Top 5 seems feasible to me.
More details below. +
Let me say this...BTS is going though a whole lot to get to these Granny's.
Now, I don't care what happens with that award, but...
when they make it to that stage as 7...
Im going to cheer my heart out...because they earned their moment...win or lose.
This goal will happen.+
It is in memory of Biggie Smalls (Christopher Wallace), a rapper who was killed in the late 90s.
His friends and family all came together to create this song to not only honor him, but to honor others who had died during a very volatile time in music.
It is a special song.+
Pointing out, we have seen no mention from BB of:
LCs actual sales data for the global charts (they usually summarize the top 5).
LCs digital song sales number directly from BB article.
Hot 100 data. They mentioned OTHER notable movement but no followup on last week's no 1? +
Guys, BB literally just confirmed their own cheating.
Last week the chart window ended at 1/22 for one artist.
This week, they INCLUDED 1/22 IN BTSs window for week 8.
So obvious.

Butter Week 15 Update - Final Projection
Alright ARMY, after reconciling and confirming some data with funders...
My final prediction is Butter will go No 1 next week with the Feature.
Keep streaming. The only thing I know for Week 16...is no free falls.+
A thread about YouTube streams...
YT streams are VERY important for us as a fandom supporting BTS.
It is one of the largest streaming platforms in the world and BTS is one the top performing artists on that platform.
And we stream on it very well as a global fandom.+
Ok, Ok...this is how we are starting the day on this HTS chart. Pretty good.
Let's aim for a 1M+ gap by the end of the tracking day.
Remember:
Retweets are powerful and
Tag as many of your regular tweets as possible.

Guys...let's talk. IDK what is going to happen with Butter next week.
But we need to stream BTS songs that are CURRENTLY on the charts.
Every Thursday we are praying for Butter and MU...but during the week we need to be streaming them.
BTS is getting 26M streams per day...+
Hey guys...I'm not going to drag this out.
Final estimate is No 1 for MU.
However, we do have a lot of unknowns like:
Final physical sales
Final official iTunes, Amazon, etc. sales
And we had one entire store that we could not track
So, this is my best estimate for the week+
Butter/PTD Final Estimate
Butter - No 1
PTD: 8-12
Competition will be 300-315 pts. So, my estimate has Butter over 315 pts with over 100k sales. This will be close.
We didn't make the goal, which impacts PTD more than Butter, since the goal was set to insure a PTD Top 10.

For ANY rap artist in America today, this song is special.
For older rap artists and fans, it is usually viewed as the turning point away from a dangerous period that cost us the lives of some of the most talented rappers ever.
Do not disrespect this song or the video.+
Silence from the industry about BTSs sold out shows with only a few days notice.
Doesn't stop the fact that BTS is pulling this type of demand in the US and global markets.
Everybody ain't able....
#BTSSOLDOUTSOFI
BTSs demand for tickets exceeds the capacity of physical seats at stadiums.
To accommodate the demand, they have to book stadiums PLUS overflow arenas or theaters for each show.
Usually for one show in their tour, they offer simulcast tickets of their LIVE concert. +

And unfortunately, Biggie's murder was a part of that.
This song helped pull black artists together during a time when more people were ready to continue the violence.
It was an emotional tribute to someone who should not have had to lose their life. +
And on top of that, the 90s also saw escalations in more police brutality incidents and black men were still losing their lives on the streets at disproportionate rates.
And all of this violence was spilling over into everything including music.+
A group is about to have a WEEK of media play from a popular music magazine starting TODAY.
A certain agency needs to link to BTS to help promo.
So, what happens? Fake news.
Why? ARMY has the needed social media engagement.
THINK before engaging.
No free promo. Focus.
But it also made people realize that no one should have to lose their life or fear for their life because of the music they chose to make.
So, when that song was performed, for one of the first times, you saw artists celebrating a "rival" artists life without the violence.+

Cause, we do not NEED to drop out of the top 10 right before comeback.
Nah...
Why is it so hard for some to support an event that BTS promoted and a few lucky ARMYs get to attend?
Be positive and supportive about things. It's not hard.
Quick reminder....
Both My Universe and Butter are still in qualification period for major year end awards...including the BILLBOARD awards for 2022.
Please keep both songs and their versions as focused on your playlists.

The sales and streaming goals listed in here will NOT allow us to go Number 1 on BB charts.

You can't write about 1.33M paid views and then turn around and media play for the olive plant a few weeks later.
They knew it would be a massacre if both those things were put in print to compare.
Lmao.
Stans are spending hours of their life trying to blow up nonsense claims...for no apparent reason other than hate.
Why? It's a distraction.
That label and Spotify has fed millions of dollars into creating a career and they are facing a loss with these new develipments.+
