If BTS are not releasing any album this year it basically means we are NOT ready for the new album 😭 it will be the longest break between albums for them and previously it was Mots 7 (y'all know damn well what she did in this world) the HYPE for the next album 😭🫂
Stanning aside lemme be honest for today, HOW do you expect other artists to be put in the same category as BTS after all they've accomplished. HOW do you expect everyone to be viewed on the same level when one is just miles beyond that level, not understandable to me
The exemption rule if applied isn't going to be exclusive for BTS, it's just that the standards are raised SO high that only BTS fall in the criteria to get exemption 🤷
Best Selling Albums on Gaon (Based on release year)
2013: XOXO (Repackage)
2014: Overdose
2015: The Most Beautiful Moment In Life Part 2
2016: Wings
2017: Love Yourself Her
2018: Love Yourself Answer
2019: Map Of The Soul Persona
2020: Map Of The Soul 7
2021: Butter 🆕
BTS selling 3.6M copies of an album with just 2 (T W O) versions when 1 was overpriced as fk should let you know that their "downfall" is NOWHERE near arriving
Daesang prediction (after checking the new criteria so basically final)
Artist - BTS (100%)
Album - BE (100%) if nominated / NCT 127 or NCT Dream or Seventeen (33% each) if BE isn't nominated
Song - Butter (60%) Celebrity (20%) Next Level (20%)

SM always get that 1 digital performer every generation and it's always a female 😭 SNSD in 2nd gen, Red Velvet in 3rd gen and now æspa in 4th gen with Taeyeon ruling in all 3 generations

on Melon Weekly Album chart. It's the first SM group album to debut at

'Make A Wish' by
@NCTsmtown
has surpassed 200 Million Views on YouTube. It becomes the 1st NCT Music Video and the fastest SM Music Video to surpass the mark on the Platform.
'Hot Sauce' by
@NCTsmtown_DREAM
is now the NCT song with most music show wins (5 and counting) Surpassing the previous record of Punch and Regular (4 each)
Thinking how BTS released 6 back-to-back Melon Top 10 Hits in the last 14 months and ALL OF THEM were unpromoted in sk 😭 the 'no promotion' agenda ain't working in the scene anymore I fear
Biggest debut streams by SM artists on Global Spotify:
#1
Feel My Rhythm - 1,010,725 🆕

#3
Savage - 853,708
#4
Psycho - 826,203
#5
Jopping - 823,814
All I know is that no one could match what BTS did for the k-pop industry as a whole on the Global scale. It's practically impossible cuz they faced most of the obstacles alone which now are not as big as they used to be cuz they took the biggest hits
NCT Dream will be placed at
#4
on UWC Year End Albums Chart with Hot Sauce + Hello Future. It'll be the highest entry ever by an SM Artist and the highest for an Asian Act in 2021.
'Never Goodbye' by
@NCTsmtown_DREAM
is now tied with their own 'Dive Into You' as the longest charting NCT B-side on Melon Daily Chart (21 days and counting)
NCT is literally the least promoted group of all times under sm entertainment, you rarely see them on variety shows, they attend 4 radio shows max to "promote" their cbs now what kind of fucking exposure do they get??
