[Master Thread of Records and Comparison]
because people tried to be brave...

just a fact thread that i gathered all these information because i was bored and also because user ot5mademepoor cant research at all so im just going to make a thread on some researches i did.

for more information read this thread also :) https://twitter.com/lcvesicktae/status/1249858870610190336

Some facts about each group

Tour Information
*Couldn't find much information on revenue of each tour so I disregarded the calculation

one direction and bts youtube stats and twitter

BigHit Label Youtube - BANGTANTV Youtube @bts_twt

Music Video Views
1D: Total of 8.3 billion views on 17 music videos
From 2011 to 2016

BTS**: If you add only the ones from from BigHit Label, the total views of 36 BTS music videos come to 6,765,782,827 views aka 6.7 billion views.

Reminder: those views and 36 MVs are NOT including members' solos, trailers, different versions and individual films. +

Because 1theK also uploaded BTS music video since their debut until 2016, it was difficult to calculate the total and wasn't sure how I was supposed to calculate it so here are just the list of all the music videos and views and dates from BTS. @BTS_twt

However, if you do replace the views from 1theK, the number of total views go up to 8.8 billion views (Just for the BTS Music Videos). And obviously, if you add all the solos and other official music videos from BTS, the view would increase by a billion views. (or even more)

Both of them won way too many awards so I just did the percentage calculation.

BTS' 1st ever win from music show: 150505
BTS' first ever award from award show: Best New Artist from MMA in Nov 2013
BTS' first ever Daesang from award show: ALOTY - 2016 MMA + AOTY - 2016 MAMA

1D's first ever award: 4Music Awards
- Best Group
- Best Breakthrough
- Best Video

BTS Endorsements (Personally think the highlighted ones are some of the major ones) @bts_twt

and lastly these are some of the records that @bts_twt set or broke just with their LASTEST COMEBACK: MOTS 7

5. Setting too many records for a Korean group
6. First Asian Artist to Top the World's 5 Largest Music Markets (U.S., Japan, Germany, France, and the U.K) - You can’t call being on these foreign charts while being white and having all that benefit ! sorry !

7. Biggest Spotify Debut for a Group in 2020

8. Hitting 10 million views on ON Music Video in 65 minutes.
