correcting this entire thread because directioners are cornballs

bts - 3 world tours and a planned 4th tour but we're in a pandemic, not their fault
one direction - 36 million according to their publishing company (as of 2015). if anyone has a receipt for that 50 million lmk

ik it's not 2020 numbers but if they got 14 million more sales during their hiatus okay cool

bts sales: it seems that ot5mademepoor did a little whoopsies bc 10 million only accounts for ALBUM sales as of 2018. their most recent album had 4.1 million sales in like a week so idk-

-the math yourself? anyways here's an itemized list of all of their album sales which are 40.7 million. why would you cut over 75% of their album sales? https://chartmasters.org/2019/10/bts-albums-and-songs-sales/

"either way one direction is bigger on twitter" are you high? bts literally holds the world record for twitter engagements no one cares about your group's inactive followers that didn't even seem to be active when the group was still around

let's talk about how 10/20 aka 50% aka half of the top 20 most liked tweets of all time belong to bts

let's also talk about how bts got over 3 times more likes of a random ass picture of a plant than 1d got on their pinned tweet about their anniversary this is so embarrassing

and here we go again. how tf are you going to compare a vevo channel dedicated to posting music videos to bts's personal channel where they post videos of the members of the group and not music? these numbers can't accurately be compared so i won't say shit

but if you wanna talk about youtube

begging to know where they got the 700 million number wtf... i thought maybe it was from bangtantv but then i was like wait there's no way that's right. they also have nearly 1 billion views on DNA so i literally don't even know what to say except this is so wrong?

also bts has more total streams since someone actually decided to count official videos and not their fun side channels for bonus content

idk if anything here really needs to be corrected but i just want to say hi you are goofy and eurocentric. the music world doesn't revolve around the UK singles chart. used to people using US chart stats but the UK? their home country? tell me you're joking

and no mention of kcharts anywhere i see. where's 1d RAK, CAK, or PAK? if you're not going to at least try to be objective about it or figure out how kcharts work to do whatever international comparison you were trying to do don't bother. clown

then they started talking about their different endorsements which i'm not even gonna include bc what was the point of that? idk if they were endorsed by pokemon black and white wtf does that even mean

they included bts stats for this too but i missed the screenshot and they went priv so anyways, bts's most won award was MAMA and 1d's is TCA's why would they even include this self drag and bts has more awards so maybe they tried to be objective

"correct me if i'm wrong" oh don't mind if i do... armys this is your moment to take a deep breath if you need to, laugh a little, then i will carry on

okay so quick wikipedia tutorial for ot5mademepoor. when someone says "n/a" that means "not available," not 0 FUCKING DOLLARS. please think a thought. did you really look at the attendance and think their first 3 tours must have been free? i literally hate you

also a little lesson on what privilege is. every achievement bts makes is worth 10x more than any equivalent one direction achievement because bts are non-english speaking poc. everything they've achieved in the west they had to work harder for

especially the part about charts that only included the UK. y'all will whine at armys for calling bts the biggest group in the world but will only pull up numbers from english speaking countries. then when bts have incredible sales, crickets

imagine wasting all this time, and not just this person but all of y'all, making these fake easily debunkable threads just to be corrected every time. i've been a kpop fan for 7 years and ever since i can remember y'all have been loud for no reason

and don't go and say "correct me if i'm wrong" then go ahead blocking people that call you out on that fact. directioners talk big then all of a sudden tweets not loading
