HOW to get BTS next comeback #1 in hot100 and why it’s possible without radio plays. (A thread you should retweet)
First and foremost I would like to say this is something bts want along with a Grammy. We cannot control Grammy nominations but we can control this! So we should work hard for this comeback
We need to be prepared for no radio play. We have tried for years to get bts on American radio but it won’t happen. But is completely possible to go #1 with no spins. Here’s a article that talks about #1’s that didn’t play on the radio (please read it gives hope 
)
)
So as old town road made it to #1 in almost PURE streams. It’s very possible for them to go number #1. It’s a dominant factor that goes in to the charts according to billboard. It’s 2/3 points PER stream.
On demand platforms like Apple Music and Spotify have a greater weight
But the way you can contribute the MOST to getting #1 is by buying the song on ITunes. The songs are usually 0.99 cents on iTunes. And yes it counts as a sale. You can buy it once and gift it to other people
I don’t know specifically how the YouTube streams work but they do contribute to billboard streams. But only from bts’ account on YouTube. You SHOULD NOT STREAM FROM LYRIC TRANSLATION VIDEOS. Lyric translations are ON TWITTER or genius lyrics
Anyways. I can tell this means a lot to bangtan. And I feel like it really is the least we can do. We made it to #4 last time which is a huge accomplishment for DEBUTING on hot100 but we can do better so we definitely can try for #1
Look 
Also if it doesn’t debut on #1 it’s never too late to keep going. Don’t be discouraged by posts that say “Americans aren’t trying hard enough” I know we are babies we got this 
we got this
y’all aren’t understanding.
Paid streaming sites: Apple Music and Spotify and YouTube music are stronger for billboard and count for full points
Unpaid with ads: are less weighted and are only 2/3rds of point. Which still helps.
For this comeback basically get them free trials

It’s not just “so stream” it’s stream the BEST way possible. So if you have paid subscriptions USE THEM.
I found out you can no longer gift for streams. Also DO NOT loop the song. Make playlists
The intention of this thread is to show armys how hot100 works. I wasn’t trying to over complicate things. I just want them to know how much each stream weighs and how other songs have done it in the past. I’m sorry if this feels useless
