[theqoo] BANGTAN JIMIN'S SONG'S PROGRESSION IN THE CHARTS THAT IS GETTING A LOT OF TALKS OVERSEAS

"#Jimin's "Who" achieved 400,000 streams on Spotify's daily chart in Japan on July 27, 2024. This peak has elevated it to the 15th spot in the all-time highest daily streams ranking. However, it’s important to note that the track hasn't shown similar trends on other DSPs like Apple Music in the domestic charts, and it seems to be experiencing localized success."

"On July 28, 2024, Jimin's "Who" recorded 444,000 streams on Spotify's daily chart in Japan, rising to 12th place in the all-time highest daily streams ranking. However, as previously noted, this result cannot be regarded as indicative of overall popularity. Therefore, the record for this track will be considered temporarily paused based on this information."

"Jimin's "Who" has risen to become his first solo track to reach number one in Japan. However, it is currently outside the top 100 on domestic charts like Apple Music and Amazon Music. There are no previous instances where a song with such a streaming scale on Spotify has achieved a number one ranking in Japan while experiencing low chart performance on other major platforms."

The 'Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart' account has declared a boycott of Jimin's "Who" on Spotify.

The reason for this is that despite reaching number one on Spotify Japan, the track has not entered the top 100 on Apple Music Japan and Amazon Music Japan.

Some international Spotify chart accounts have raised concerns about potential illicit activities related to Jimin's "Who." The basis for this criticism is that the track's monthly listeners do not proportionally align with its streaming numbers.

The situation is similar on Korean Spotify, where:

- Melon users: 4.6 million

- Korean Spotify users: 630,000

Typically, a number one spot on Korean Spotify would require around 100,000 streams, but Jimin's track achieved nearly 400,000 streams for the top spot.

Despite this, it did not enter the top 100 on domestic music services like Melon, Genie, or Bugs.

In the U.S., "Who" reached number 2 on Spotify, but it did not chart on other major U.S. platforms such as Apple Music, YouTube Music, or Amazon Music.

This issue is not observed with other HYBE artists, who show consistent chart performance across all music platforms. The anomaly of Jimin's track dominating Spotify but failing to rank on other platforms has led international chart experts to question the validity of the data.

1. Pft, seems like HYBE is having a hard time all because of Suga and their headㅋㅋ

2. It's quite puzzling that Jungkook's "Seven" is performing so well, while "Standing Next to You" isn't even reaching 30 million streams on U.S. Spotify. This is even weirder to me

3. The charts look weird indeed. I'm curious if this is due to Jimin's power or HYBE's power

4. It’s really frustrating that people keep dragging Jimin down. Just because BTS is a group, does it mean that only Jungkook should have great achievements? Every time Jimin does well, there’s this constant negativity and rumors. Why can’t they just accept that Jimin, too, has always had strong popularity in the U.S. since his debut? It’s weird and kind of creepy how much hatred and denial there is. Jungkook’s achievements always get congratulated, while Jimin’s successes get undermined. It’s like people are just unable to accept that other members, including Jimin, can also be popular.

5. At this rate, every time a member gets into a scandal, other members of the group are always ending up like this and they fight among themselves.

6. Jungkook's "Seven" had so many remixes. What's angering you? With this tactic, even putting a little hard work into streaming would make him rank into the U.S. Spotify
