TBVH him posting today also didn't bother me at all like the ones that want to stream will stream no matter what. So his posts Today didn't bother me but what it showed me is that jimin is better and deserves better friends.... someone who does half ass things for him will never be his soulmate..no matter what any relationship should be mutual and when u constantly leave out only one person then it shows what type of human and friend you are lol. I have had all my disappointments last year itself so his actions don't bother me anymore. I understood what type of human he is last year so there's nothing to hope for me cause i hoped last year as jimin's supposed "soulmate" and had the shocking reveal so nahh ain't trusting again.

Anyways, jimin always shows why he's different and better than anyone. There's a reason why jm's antis call him fake cause they know their own favs never do the things jm does for his frnds so they don't know what being that pure hearted means so they call him fake lol.

STREAM FOR JIMIN AND JUNGKOOK THOUGH

Agree with every point you made.

STREAM, STREAM, STREAM.

We got #1 on the UK top 40 and last time I checked we are at 115 #1 country/regions on iTunes. Just 4 more for that all-kill. Working hard with multiple accounts and devices to continuously stream. Doing my part to get that BB Hot 100 #1.

No one cares whether solos will be able to carry a song for 5 months 💀 and saying LC is a masterpiece (which I agree tho) a 100 times won't lower the results of LMA either. I bet you nor other JM stans thought LMA will be having result like this as you always thought only Jkk have streams. LC was split, 2 version. But we had 2 songs now to stream too, unpromoted and 2 days notice. I bet if it was the case with Jimin's songs you will throw the same pity party for coming months. And even RD did more than haegeum. So your point doesn't make any sense.

Noone cares whether solos will be able to carry a song for 5 months? Why are armys jealous of LC and pjms then?

Anon if this spotify week debut is a big deal for you, OK. Even Jisoo had bigger spotify week debut than Jimin and look at her song now. Look at LMA US Spotify, look at LMA on Billboard charts, look at LMA No1 iTunes countries.

Even if Slow Dancing had more streams on the 1st day, do you think it would mean Taehyung is more successful soloist than Jimin?

He isn’t on Jimin’s level in success, creativity, hardwork and perfectionism. Jimin is true it boy and true all-rounder. The only one who can be on his level is Jungkook.

Btw good to know kths goal is to surpass Jimin. Basically everyone’s goal is to surpass Jimin.

[lokisasylum]

So now they're filtering LC's sales from iTunes AND Amazon too??!!!

This is going too far... if they're so confident in the other song with all that payola, why to continue sabotaging Jimin by filtering out sales from other platforms outside of the Official US store??

I'm dead serious when I say that if you stand with the company at this point then you are worst than TRASH.

I have never seen a record label be this openly shady and demeaning to one of its active artists in order to hype another. I mean paid articles to downplay all that he achieved during 'FACE' debut? Reducing his most Historic No.1 on Hot100 as "not good enough to beat some white racist" on the charts??

Comparing streams?? When one has been on a disadvantage while the other received it all on a silver platter without even lifting a finger???

Either the rumors on the streets are true and he IS leaving Hybe:

[The two bottom screenshots are from investors forums where they were discussing how bad the Hybe stocks have been since 7 release. The rumor of JM leaving the company is not new, but in the years I've been in this fandom I've never seen investors or shareholders talking about the possibility of a BTS member leaving or being worried how this possibility will affect the stocks further]

Or they're really trying to keep him TRAPPED in that cursed company till 2025 to continue the "we are family" facade & exploit a group that hasn't been able to put out good music since the end of 2020...

[mrs-monaghan]

Honestly, I think payola is happening for JK because it’s nearly impossible to make it onto Hot100 “organically” now. (No doubt he’s being pushed, with Scooter, BPD, radio stations, everybody and they mama posting and hyping Seven.) But we have to remember that Seven only has Itunes, Amazon, Qobuz buys, and no D2C, which was our most powerful tool in getting our JM the #1 he deserved. Without the company stepping in to support it with radioplay, the #1 on Hot100 would be impossible. Now the question is whether or not they will support PJM2 the way they’re pushing Seven. I’m withholding judgement until we see how the company treats PJM2.

Still, this doesn’t negate how LC had INSANE potential to be HUGE, and HYBE completely fumbled the fucking bag. And by fumbled I mean they just about dropped it over the rooftop of the building that JM and BTS built. Kicked it to the curb like it was worth nothing. And that pisses me off and it always will. But Jikookers, please try to tone back the hate towards JK. He doesn’t deserve it. I know the main question is “how can JK accept all this help knowing that JM was snubbed and didn’t get any?” I don’t know, but we do know that Scooter is involved. This man is a toxic snake. We have no idea what’s going down behind the scenes. Really, we have no fucking clue. We can only guess. So please, support Seven if you want to, don’t support it if you don’t want to. But don’t be so quick to jump on JK and accuse him of not caring about JM. Are you kidding me? You’ve really forgotten how much JK loves and takes care of JM, everything they’ve had for the past ten years, everything in the past few months even.

I promise you, there will be a day when we’ll get a tell-all, be it leaked emails or JM himself addressing the issue, perhaps even JK will do/say something. Nothing shady stays hidden forever. Until that day, let’s be patient and kind.

Oh, and for those accusing JK of plagiarism, are you serious? Like, look in the mirror and say that to yourself. “JK is stealing JM’s creative work without his permission.” Yeah, do you realize how fucking dumb you sound? There is undoubtedly glaring similarities between their style and concept choice. Do you ever think for one second — okay, since it’s obviously not plagiarism, what could it be? Could it be that JK is trying to send a fucking message? Or did you ever think for one second that JK could have gone to JM and said, hyung, I really liked what you did, do you mind if I do something similar? They could be laughing and giggling together about the photos literally as we speak, meanwhile people are going after JK with pitchforks saying he’s stealing JM’s story. Fuck off.

Now the question is whether or not they will support PJM2 the way they're pushing seven

This special treatment is for JK and JK only. When we say he is the golden goose that's exactly what we mean. They had plans for him, from day one. He is who they will use to pave the way for BTS and Kpop ig. Idk. Is this for BTS or for themselves? Who tf knows?

Jimin could have done this too. Was doing this. But he isn't who they banked on. Invested in. His success continues to shock them. They had a plan and they refuse to deviate from it.

We saw it coming y'all... why are people mad? Guys, I'm not gonna lie, I'm as as cool as a fucking cucumber. This is my only option. Its either that or join everyone else and be fucking pissed and what good does that do? 😂😂😂

Jimin solos already tagging BH to ask why LC didn't get pushed for radio play like that's gonna do dick. There is a plan in place and there ain't nothing nobody can do to change it.

.

JK didn't steal shit. You're bonkers if you think Jimin wasn't aware of what JK was going to do. And was perfectly okay with it. They are matching on purpose. It's on purpose. Period.

[solarwynd]

it's crazy that people forget jm's solos songs were the best performing in each and every album. Lie is iconic, literally charted on world digital song sales in 2016! Which other solo from wings made any noise? Exactly. Serendipity had the handicap of having two versions in two different albums and that separated its streams, but she has her successes too. And Filter, what to say? debuted on the hot100 despite it was removed (mysteriously) from itunes, apple music, shazam, ig stories, tiktok and youtube had the wrong video. and the live performances of each of these 3 always eclipse all the others. also jimin being named in various articles and charts for music and style. and most of this is before they got more famous worldwide.

“Lie is iconic, literally charted on world digital song sales in 2016! Which other solo from wings made any noise? Exactly.”

On the scale that Lie has? None you’re right, but Awake Begin and FL had their in fandom moments. And I’ll never speak ill on Stigma cause highkey that’s still the best song th’s ever dropped. (Reflection’s just no good :( )

You’d think jimin having as big of a debut as he had wouldn’t have come out of left field for so many people in the face of all of that, but it still managed to. All of jimin’s initial solo tracks were seriously damn near full on eras themselves though, despite all of them being bsides. Like he’s been putting out hits, this isn’t new at all for him.

[ask-serendipity-sky]

I don't know how to feel when jk mentioned bangpd like it just makes everything jm undergone bc of this company so much more real and acumen like yeah they wanted jk to be the breakout soloist of BTS, and jm's legendary acheivements like BB hot100 is planned for him but jm acheived it with little to no support from both company and push but now it's clear they're going to go all out for jk because he's the chosen one - the golden maknae, while jm's acheivements, hardwork and talent isn't acknowledged or celebrated by the company because they have no hand in making it like I didn't know it's possible for a preorder link for itunes but yeah, whatever the company do it'll continue as the only person who is affected by it is letting them for whatever reason but other members like suga have already seem to plan their solo career in a well promoted way yet yeah talent and hardwork isn't the only thing that's going to help artists in the long run because in this streaming era, company support is the first thing an artist should need and that's something jm lacks in place of other members who are even close to him and it's not fair competition but the fandom will forget jm's acheivements because hybe and army are going to push jk's debut to the very forefront when jm didn't have it and make it seem like what jm acheived is something so miniscule, I just hope jm prioritise himself and be assertive just like other members for once or just quit this company because he's basically blacklisted by his own company now...

Hi anon,

Yes. As a Jimin fan, this one hurts a lot. I'll be angry about this forever.

I don't know if Jimin would leave the company, to be honest. If he is staying it must be for a reason. If I was Jimin, I wouldn't stay.

But yeah, Jimin had nothing handed to him. He told us himself he left so much to focus on FACE only. And if he has achieved so much, it's because his work is pure art that he himself has painted with his tears and sweat.

Like Crazy, the Korean version, has been successful despite no radio play and no promo in the US or anywhere.

And yeah, Jk has been chosen by Hybe to be the break out star. Anyone who says that is not true, is lying. I'm not saying that Jk is not talented and he doesn't work hard. But it has been obvious that he was pushed to shine above the rest while the rest of the guys were always dimmed to the same level.

I wouldn't be surprised if this fandom forgets about Jimin's work, because this is a shitty fandom. But it doesn't matter because the true fans will always support him.

Thanks for sharing.

Even if the phones thing isn’t true, the streams in the US are still strange and point to VPN usage. Japanese accounts have also caught notice of issues with Spotify Japan streams and stated they won’t update on the song anymore. His streams in SK are also strange, since he’s barely hanging on Mel0n. Even the iTunes number ones, they were caught getting nr. 1 in countries where iTunes isn’t even available.

I also don’t believe anything coming from jjks, because they’re vile cvnts on the best of days, but this isn’t the first time pjms have done stuff like this.

This is why I don’t want any of the shit that JK and Jm got for Tae, I’d rather have real numbers. I’m even iffy on people streaming from more than two Spotify accounts, because it gives the artist a false sense of reality.

The phones thing may be fake but who not charting on any us cities is weird. Same for everything you mentioned. And as I said, it wouldn’t be the first time pjms make someone change the rules due to suspicious activities.

I’d like Tae to get at least the bare minimum, though.

[mysmorgasbordoffantabulosa]

I am genuinely super upset at the larger fandom. Tae debuted at 79 on global Spotify artist list which is really low for a fandom of this size. After hours of release he still hadn't charted no 1 on itunes in Korea!!! K army were just not streaming at all. Many big ot7 accounts were publishing steaming playlists (50k + followers)with Tae songs followed by 4 versions of Seven by JK!? Like it's his debut and you are pushing Tae as a filler?

Some are talking about genre?? But army streamed irrespective of the genre. So only a super poppy dance number will be supported? I knew he wouldn't get the no. 1 like JK and JM but this low level of engagement feels very disappointing 😔

I personally loved the 2 releases and they are in my top solo debut songs. I know Tae monitors social media and hope he doesn't feel discouraged since he has released songs after years.

Ok stop...

First of all discount Like Crazy and Seven this are solo/lead singles where fans concentrated efforts to stream.

If we compare the two songs that Tae released this week to the single pre-release by Brian, the difference is around 1 million streams.

Set Me Free placed 6th with 4.8million filtered streams.

Love Me Again debuted with 3.7million and Rainy Days 3.5million.

I think if Tae had only one release this week, that song probably would have been on a par with similar pre-releases by the members. But because fans were spreading the love that meant the numbers were probably lower than expected. I think the next two songs will be released separately so hopefully these will have streams which will be higher.

Bought two more LPs.

One is a winner the other a mistake.

I saw a glowing review of new issue of "The Cars" LP in TAS, I think, so it was in the back of my mind for a while. While in a store that has racks of LPs (just like the old days) though not really that many I grabbed a copy. Playing it and expecting the familiar songs I was struck by two things. The first was yes the record was clear and clean and all that good stuff. Second I did not like it. This was "new wave" as they called late 70s not-as-angry punk. Very similar to Blondie, but just I did not like it. I shoulda done my Itunes tryout thing. Dint. I like Blondie.

The other LP was a 180 gram reissue of Joanie Mitchell's "Blue". Every song a classic and several became my ear worms for a few days. Cut by one of the masters, Bernie Grundman, its both technically great as well as musically. Simply they do not write songs like that anymore. I wish they did.

The mix is clean and simple with not many tricks. Some instruments are in one channel or the other. Vocals mono center for example. But when I say clean, the metal strings on the guitar are obvious and I think there is a dulcimer in there. The piano is big and rich. JM is not a great vocalist but these are her songs and they range from just personal to intimate. In the right (or wrong) mood "little green" can make you cry.

So that one was a winner.

Grado Opus 3, phase linear 8000a turntable, ARC SP14 preamplifier, ARC Cl60 amplifier, invisible speakers.

why do you think this is happening ? I see all stans being 'not happy' coz army are ot6 and abandoning their biases.

Is it because back to back releases which I'm not so fond of because bh calm down if you want sales then let people actually earn something otherwise they are only going to saving it up to buy their fav's album.

Or is it because of jealousy towards JK ? That it's JK who got the chance and not BTS as a whole or their favs.

Or JK doesn't has a huge Fandom like we think who's actively buying or streaming for him and it's mainly depend on how gp take it ? If we look at it the success of L&R came from lotsss of streaming of gp and overall good vibe song so many fans tuned in. The dreamers got a debut of #2 in spotify again because of it being Fifa song and lot of gp tuned in. But the views for MV or buying comes purely from army and it's sooo low.

On another note, I wish hybe release stuff wisely even if they are rushing too many releases.. JITB had no CDs making it to have low sales, With you was released in an ungodly hour and according to makers it was hybe who told so making it not enough tracking day for hot100 but JM biased stans are sooo fucking strong on funds and it broke and topped iTunes record, Jin's 1st day sale on hanteo could've been easily be 1M+ if only hybe shipped it internationally on time, JK's fifa MV should've come out first and not an audio track on YouTube and 2nd day his actual performance. In this way there is no longevity for any songs because of rushed releases making boys not eligible for any winnings in these 2 years or good streaming and success they deserve.

I don't know, anon. I really don't overthink this stuff, and I don't make conspiracy theories for them. Solo releases are scheduled by company, even if we are not happy with them, the members have agreed on that and we should respect their desicion because we are not their managers. All we can do is stream, buy, and support, and the rest is not up to us.

But we already know that no Fifa song has ever done great in US charts. You can never compare it to a summer song. Americans never cared about Football World Cup or anything related to that, and all these sales are from JK fanbases, the fanbases that are saving money for his solo album for a long time. This album will be out next year, so they can't spend the funds for a Fifa song.

I'm sorry because I can't see this as jk's power or result just like itunes record because he got everything like everything that we dragged other artists as a fandom, like yeah you will tell me to be happy because jm seems to be happy but I don't have to do something just because jm does it when I know he's the kindest angel on earth and does it for everyone, like I'm not happy or celebrating this even when I streamed and bought the song yesterday because this automatically puts everything jm was sabotaged for by the company is to make jk successful like yeah he is successful but it's not because of that that he's getting all this records that even BTS couldn't get as 🛴 & bang pd is paying and pushing this, I'm crying because this is not a fair competition and everyone will shade or talk about the broken records like it was done on fair and equal grounds but no one got privileged and other got sabotaged and but yeah I must leave before something more happens and pains me more...

Except for 1 thing (JM treating all members equally) I agree with you.

Jungkook has power and we were able to see it on his songs since the beginning and he is one of the most hardworking people, it’s very possible he would have at least 7 without push, but this was the biggest push ever. Scooter Braun gave him everything and more.

Pathetic JK solos could at least leave JM alone, but they will never do it, because they are obsessed.

[lokisasylum]

Attention US ARMYS with iTunes accounts!

Jimin Funds has 500 giftcards available, let try to get JM back to #01. Like we did yesterday!

[mrs-monaghan]

I know Tae is the most popular member but why it's not seen in the results? Or is it because he haven't released the album ? But then JK hasn't released an album either but he's already on steaming lists.

1. In highest debut streams, JK has LR(1), dreamers and stayalive. JM had LC(2), SMF and Face off (VIBE was there recently) While Tae has none. Knowing Tae has twice amount of fans than JM atleast one of his song should be on list right.

2. Fastest streamed OST is With You surpassing other OST's by BTS members.

3. Jimin gets a 100+ #1 in iTunes within 5 hours for past 3 songs while rest, including JK, take more than 10 hours atleast.

4. I thought Tae as one of most fashionable members and high end brands will be lining to sign him with great offers but then it's Jimin who got signed to 2 most luxurious brand and many other brands followed him including Valentino. While Tae got Celine. Unlike JK, who made it clear he likes to sign to brands he actually uses rather than luxury or money factor. Tae doesn't seem to be a person like that given he signed with Siminvest.

5. I remember there was a big poll last year which had the winner gifted a NYC promotion ad or something 🤔 and Jimin won it. Surpassing votes of Tae.

How Jimin is surpassing him in every field with much less supporters than him ?

Like we said,

1) PJMs show up. Jimin is the most hated member but he is also the most beloved member. Its quite funny when u think about it. In a fucked up kind of way though.

Goldy once said even Jimin's haters are obsessed with him and this is true. They will wait 2 hours under the airport lives. There was a lady who went live last night on IG as we waited for Jimin to show up at Tiffany n Co and Tkkrs were commenting. Like why were they there?

2) Jimin gets support from his haters and PJMs. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these jerkwards even buy his merch that's how obsessed they are.

3) No offence to any V biased person reading this but most PJMs are adults. With Jobs. So not only do they not have time on their hands to dick around on twitter all day hating on V, but they will financially support Jimin when it comes down to it.

4) Jimin is the sell out King. Well, him and his bae. 💛💜

5) Which answers your question, Jimin is always number one on brand reputation. He has held that position for years now. So brands will gravitate towards him since he has the most reputable reputation? That sounds wrong. But u get what I mean.

6) V solos are useless.
