. @iHeartMedia is the country’s largest radio network. Two of its largest stations, @1027KIISFM and @Z100NewYork, only played the @BTS_twt single “ON” once on release day, and hadn’t again as of March 30, according to music analytics tool Soundcharts. https://nowthisnews.com/pop/radio-why-wont-you-play-bts

BONUS: We couldn't fit this in the article, but here are some more stats for "ON" from Nielsen.
On stations reporting to the Billboard Hot 100, "ON" received only 61 plays in its first day of release (Feb. 21.) The song drew over 800 plays on those stations through March 19.
