omg the butter mv sketch is on top of YT Japan’s trending page 😂 the gp rlly be eating butter up, i rarely see the sketches and bangtantv videos go up so high on the page
327
the BBMAs performance and the MV sketch trending on YT Japan at #1 and #2 respectively (and the actual mv at #10), amazing
328
keep in mind that most jarmys don’t do our own listening parties, nor is there rlly a culture of (constant) streaming & playlisting .... this record is insane twitter.com/btschartdata/s…
329
a few performances on jpn tv music specials and there’s a huge chance of butter permanently staying on top of the charts for the entire year like dynamite
330
joon protected us adorable representatives from having our government name being exposed and called us a team and that we charge each other’s batteries, that’s so cute
331

BTS have set a new record for the biggest weekly streaming record ever (with 16.6 million streams) & the most #1’s achieved on the chart (3). + twitter.com/oricon/status/…
334
They recorded 52.8k downloads (in 3 days) and achieved their second #1 on the Digital Single Chart after Film out. 1st photo shows the most #1’s achieved on the weekly streaming ranking, & 2nd shows the songs that have recorded over 10 million streams on the same chart
335
[trans] Butter has debuted at #1 on the Billboard Japan Streaming Chart, breaking the record for the most streams in the first tracking week of its release with 14M streams (3 days)! They’ve also debuted at #2 on the Hot 100 Chart with 18k points twitter.com/Billboard_JAPA…

Smile to Smile Project with Lotte Xylitol and BTS!!! Starting with TV commercials and digital video releases using Butter in July, there’s going to be gift campaigns where you have a chance to win original goodies that’ll “make you smile” :) twitter.com/BTS_jp_officia…

BTS, about the Smile to Smile Project: “The entire world is currently facing difficult times. Each and every person is confronting and battling their reality, silently enduring various struggles in this tension. Based on the belief that “with a single smile, we can contribute + twitter.com/natalie_mu/sta…
339
what irks me the most is how they HAD the space to add the individual interviews but chose instead to make it into a whole industry promotion catalogue which undermines the entire point of highlighting bts’ philosophy and artistry and reinforces the othering of asian artists
340
bangtan can be the funniest people without even trying that hard it’s just in their genes
342
I don’t even know where to start with this 😂😂😂😂 I love him sm

[trans] Butter is currently leading the BB Japan Streaming Chart for this week with 14.8 mil streams in the first 3 days (5/24-26). For some comparison, the song with the most weekly streams in history (Homura) had 7.5 mil streams in the first 3 days of its record breaking week. twitter.com/Billboard_JAPA…
344
At this pace, Butter is bound to break the record for the most streamed song in a week!! It’s amazing that the first 3 days of this week gained more streams (5/24-26, 14.8m) than the streams in the actual first 3 days of its release (5/21-23, 14.02 million)
345
why do they need to cut to the shots of Times Square at the most random times it’s just as bad as the award shows that cut to the audience for half of bts’ performance 😭
346
btw — streams from Amazon Music Prime members will finally be counted into the BB Japan Streaming Chart starting with the chart releasing on 6/2 (so this current tracking week!). Until now, only streams from Amazon Music Unlimited members were counted into the chart. + twitter.com/Billboard_JAPA…
347
this might change up the streaming chart bc AM Prime is actually one of the most popular streaming services used in Jpn, even bigger than Spotify or AM! (this is from a survey done in Oct 2020 with 4.4K people so it might not be a completely accurate rep but gives u an idea) twitter.com/kookceptional/…
348
also on the topic of streams — remixes don’t count as the same song for 🇯🇵 charts, so j-armys, focus more on the original song and just enjoy the remixes ig!

here’s what the packaging + contents for the BTS, THE BEST albums look like! 1st photo shows Limited Edition Version A, then Limited Edition Version B, LE Version C, then the Regular Version +
