ALSO, this video mentions the Columbia distribution deal. For background info, BTS signed to Columbia's distribution in 2020 but they didn't promote BTS properly. HYBE left Columbia the next year because they didn't have a good relationship with BTS so they went to a different company with a distribution deal that benefitted them more. I honestly don't see the difference in promotion but I do understand that buying albums is less of a hassle because you don't have to ship them overseas. Apart from this, the CEO of Columbia had writing credits in Dynamite and Butter so those songs were heavily promoted unlike Life Goes On that the BTS members had more creative control since it was in Korean. That's why ARMYs tend to roll their eyes when people only judge them by their English discography when they didn't have much artistic control over them so we instead redirect them to songs that reflect BTS artistry better.

Although I think this video might overlook a few details and doesn't go in-depth, it is short/concise https://youtu.be/NwIkdGL_HUE

2023-05-18 09:04:18 +0000 UTCKnox, a song featuring Jimin of BTS is being released in a couple of hours. I just wanted to say that I foresee some conversation about Billboard happening very soon as these discussions always arise when BTS drops something. I want to recommend a video called "ðð§ðĶ ðð ððķðđðđðŊðžðŪðŋðą | ð§ðĩðē ð§ðŋðððĩ ðŪðŊðžðð ðĨðŪðąðķðž ðŪðŧðą ðŠðĩð ððŪðŧð ðĶðĩðžððđðą ððð ð ðððķð°." ARMY has a long history of organizing against Billboard's tactics but this affects ALL ARTISTS. Yet, because this is BTS, other K-pop fans or mainstream music listeners always label ARMY's organization against Billboard as unfair when really ððððððĒððĨð ððĶ the ððĒðĨðĨðĻðĢð§ one!!! Sorry if this sounds like I'm venting but I think these issues matter as consumers of music. ARMY isn't the only one to point this out. I mean, forget about BTS for a sec but, as seen in your reactions, others have pointed this out for years from independent artists to artists who have been in the game for years. Instead of calling ARMY knit-picky, why isn't it praised that ð ðððððĒðĄðĶ of people are calling out Billboard??? https://youtu.be/cFWQIViOrjE
