Btes's billboard charting is very suspicious.
Radio is still powerful in the US market, but as powerful as it is the BTS ARMY.

Shinee had sales after jh died for lucifer, ring ding dong etc.

But I don't see that from the biggest boyband. All pre-wings chart is empty except abit from the hyyh. Its not convincing from a genuine famous boyband.

Where time to time bigbang songs had US sales. I don't see people are genuinely listening to btes music, all just for chart. But bitis is mostly accumulated around wings, after that massive promotion eg in ellen show on may25 2017, after that armys started to become big.
Yes, middle of 2017 to 2018, thats why I asked. Their breakout is mainly on 2017
Since The Jackson 5, one of the earliest boy bands, hit the scene, fans have fallen in love with One Direction, ‘NSync and more — photos

Many people only got to know btes as kpop for this reason. But no bigbang, shinee, exo got any massive promotion. Even superM can't rise up with ellen.
Bribing is very easy. Like anyone can do..

Big companies like produce 101 as an example of bribing showed here.
Btes seems to work more on "sinister" stuffs, not just bribing. Otherwise bluechip companies would already be thriving like btes.
