BTS new album "BE" lost to Christmas album in UK and debuted #2

It should be lower to be honest.  Whilst I’m sure there are some listeners in the UK, a majority of those numbers will be fraudulent like every K/J-pop artist in the west.

Umh... I wish j-pop artists bother to pull fraudulent numbers. They don’t even upload their MVs on YouTube or their songs on streaming services.

This is giving me flashbacks to when my fave group Perfume was signed to a local Japan label, and they'd only upload "short version" music videos that were like a minute long to try and make people buy the physical special edition CDs that included the full music video   Thankfully they stopped that once they signed to Universal music lmao.

Drawing attention to how two genres are known to manipulate streams and sells so they chart in countries where they aren’t listened to isn’t racist.
