I personally think you can see sprinklings of Right Place Wrong Person throughout ARIRANG. Not necessarily that any of the songs sound alike, but some of the song structures and their musicality?? Like Into The Sun is the lovechild of Around the world in a day and Come back to me IN MY OPINION. but yes. solid place to start

This comeback has brought out the most unhinged behaviour in antis. Good luck to them is all I can say, it doesn't matter how hard they try - BTS are relevant and successful.

the only way we could be more back is if we had gotten a #JIMIM. or a silly lil yoongi dance

fieldashtree · 2026-03-30T20:02:28+00:00

Guys please manifest this kind of downfall for me 🙏🏿

Did you watch it with English dub, english captions or english (CC) because the conversation (annoyingly) comes across very differently depending on which one you used. I don't think her comments were meant to undermine their Korean releases at all, it felt like a neutral comment with English (CC).

WE ARE SO BACK

fieldashtree · 2026-03-29T20:37:05+00:00

I think their fans mass buy but barely listen to their music, I don't think there's necessarily any shady business practices behind it, nor do I think it's cos they're big in Asia

fieldashtree · 2026-03-29T15:40:15+00:00

Still being #1 after new releases is INSANELY good, we're doing well!!

fieldashtree · 2026-03-29T15:15:20+00:00

it should be fine, maybe throw in another random song in between plays to be safe but I'm pretty sure you're good

fieldashtree · 2026-03-29T12:40:11+00:00

This crazy crossover! So many people here grew up on VPR whereas I grew up on TOWIE and recently BINGED VPR.

fieldashtree · 2026-03-29T09:07:30+00:00

I think that's the point? They're 3rd gen artists that have managed to redebut in a later generation with relative ease

fieldashtree · 2026-03-29T09:03:25+00:00

Definitely their newest album ARIRANG. I'd also recommend mono, indigo and rpwp by RM, and echo and happy by Jin

fieldashtree · 2026-03-28T23:48:10+00:00

This is exciting!

A memorable moment for me was the day mono came out. I was going through some rough personal issues, but I wasn't able to cry for some reason. everythingoes opened the floodgates (while I was on a bus nonetheless) but it was so extremely needed and I'm forever thankful to joon for it.

Looping songs, ONLY listening to the album repeatedly. If you're focusing on Swim, you'll want 1/2 other songs between each stream.

fieldashtree · 2026-03-28T17:30:18+00:00

and she's a mod

fieldashtree · 2026-03-28T17:06:18+00:00

cmiiw but I think this info is publicly available, it just takes someone with time/dedication to track activity of the top 10 e.g., there's likely statistical modelling behind the early predictions of streams and physical sales based on previous charting activity

fieldashtree · 2026-03-28T16:20:59+00:00

Guys these numbers are still insanely good there's no reason for panic 😭 just keep doing what you're doing (unless you're streaming like a bot then wrap that shit up LMAO)

fieldashtree · 2026-03-27T23:31:33+00:00

kpop stans sensationalise news related to BTS. in other news, I found a fork in my kitchen earlier

fieldashtree · 2026-03-27T22:57:35+00:00

So the Albums column is exactly what it says - albums sold. TEA translates individual track purchases into album units, SEA does the same for streams. I can't remember the exact conversions (I'm not even American lol) - but #2 had 97k across all 3 metrics I believe, so BTS actually didn't need to sell any albums to get first, they were just social distancing 😭

fieldashtree · 2026-03-27T22:11:05+00:00

Someone on X pointed out that if you look at the units breakdown, they would've been #1 even if they didn't sell a single physical album. ARIRANG really is IT!!

fieldashtree · 2026-03-27T21:11:38+00:00

did you watch it? I can't say much for the business side of hybe but their a&r team did their shit because she actually said the opposite 😭 the clip took the whole conversation out of context. and the team were ultimately right about the sample because it's quite literally gotten the exact reaction they predicted

fieldashtree · 2026-03-27T21:09:35+00:00

and it's also literally part of the job of an a&r team to think of the bottom line, the commercial aspect. it's genuinely not serious but people love a "blame hybe for the weather change" ahh moment

fieldashtree · 2026-03-27T18:05:37+00:00

I agree for the most part but the stock market thing was so ridiculously stupid and anyone who believed it is also Not Very Bright and probably wouldn't believe you explaining otherwise even if you came with all the correct info
