OMG Tae did way worse than I expected 💀💀💀

Slow Dancing - #3 on Billboard's Global Excl US. Jimin did #2 because of that Morgan whale

#4 on Billboard's Global 200 this week! - JM #2

BB 200 - Tae - #2 100K album, JM #2 164K.

BB 100 - Jm #1, Tae - #51 💀💀

the way most popular member charted below than Suga is crazy lol. Even Jimin's all hated Bside SMF ate it up so bad (#30 BB). This is answer to his rabid stans than internet popularity doesn't give you a shit irl. First outchart supposedly unpopular rapline before getting Park Jimin's lowest numbers lmao

Before I comment on this I would just like it to be known; I AM NOT A V ANTI!!!!!

This isn't a disclaimer. I am only stating this because of the asks I've go10 shitting on him. I will not be posting those. I don't blame anyone but myself. I know I have allowed people to vent about him here before and I was definitely among the people getting pissed at the JK name dropping but I'm pretty chill these days. So V's antics don't bother me and also there is something about binging all that Layover content continously that just reminds you that V is not the monster people paint him out to be.

If you haven't had the time i recommend this video. It was my favourite and I quite enjoyed it.

He is funny and honestly I also wanna say adorable 😂😂

Sure, the way he treats those around him could use some adjustment. But those around him seem to love him just fine so who I'm I to be mad at him, you know?

Now that that's out of the way, let's indeed talk numbers. I've said multiple times the 2 most popular members are Jimin and JK. Not V and JK. We've seen this before but sure, let's revisit the topic.

So a friend of mine who quite enjoys keeping tabs on numbers did the following math:

September 9th Streams, Thailand percentage compared to overall Streams:

Seven: 17,6 %

Slow Dancing: 29,6 %

Like Crazy: 8,7 %

So this is the amount of Streams Thailand had for the Maknae line Main Tracks on September 9th, Compared to worldwide Streams.

😁

Maknae Line, Main Track Streams Debut Day. Global vs USA vs Thailand

Debut Streams "Seven":

Global: 15,99 M

USA: 2,064 M (12,9 %)

Thailand: 1,3 M (8,13 %)

*

Debut Streams "Like Crazy":

Global: 6,6 M

USA: 0.997 M (15,1 %)

Thailand: 0,165 M (7,5 %)

*

Debut Streams "Slow Dancing":

Global: 6,14 M

USA: 0,388 M (6,3 %)

Thailand: 0,970 M (15,8 %)

These are the Streams for each Main Track's Debut Day. Global vs US vs Thailand

In conclusion:

-USA and Thailand looooooove JK. BUT Seven is charting in 71 out of 72 (wow) eligble Spotify countries. So it's a bob and a hit globally.

-USA loooooooooves Jimin. Thailand, not so much 😬

-Thailand absolutely looooooves V. USA, not so much.

But we kinda already knew this no? Alot of vermin are in Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines, etc. SouthEastAsian is Taekook domain statistically speaking. But the thing is, its still mostly V they prioritize. SEVEN experienced global success coz JK appears to be a fan favourite everywhere. So that helps him even when the SouthEastAsians decide to mostly support V.

So assuming these calculations are correct, which they should be since they are from Spotify Global, (feel free to go do your own) I really don't understand how it was concluded V is the most popular member. And there is many more countries to choose from, my friend only used Thailand coz its one of the countries that stream the most.

People assuming V is the most popular coz of his followers on IG, Guys, Instagram is only one app. V solos n V biased Armys can convince themselves that he's the most popular but numbers do not lie. Chapter 2 has shown that that, is not the case at all. I mean if you've been on twitter you've seen V hasn't even been able to beat Suga in certain categories and records. Like anon said.

The purpose of my post is not to say V isn't liked. That would be a lie. I'm just saying if anything JK is the most popular BTS member. And that's on fax 💯💯💯💯 with Jimin being a very, very, close second. And I know by saying this I am beating a dead horse atp but if Jimin had go10 the push JK did they would either be head to head or he would have surpassed him. So imagine what a big deal it is, that Jimin is doing so well right now and he didn't even get that huge company support.

US album sales were 3K according to Billboard, thats like 30k singles. China did 800k 😱 Asia loves V. US however, which is where it counts for Billboard, do not. Billboard sabotaged all Asians after Jimin won, which means if JK hadn't go10 radio play he never would have won. So, without radio play, V was never going to get that number 1. Those who aren't dillusional already knew this. So we aren't surprised

Sophia Smith's First Goal of the World Cup!

USA v Netherlands, Wellington NZ

The USA's second group stage match, against the Netherlands, ended in a 1-1 draw. It was a rematch of the 2019 World Cup final, which USA won 2-0. Aside from the two countries who participated, it was a very different match. The game was played in Wellington, NZ, a coastal town that is windy and about 45° on game day–chilly for players and spectators! USA fans showed out in full force, as usual, but there was also a good number of Dutch fans–enough to make me very sad while I watched them celebrate the first goal of the game, scored by Jill Roord.

Things in the first half did not look good for the USWNT; the players looked disorganized and unsure of their positions, even though it was the same starting players from the game a few days ago against Vietnam. The Netherlands goal was a screamer from outside of the box, through six USA defenders that were all a step out of position. This is the first time in THIRTEEN World Cup games that the USA has trailed.

After halftime, the USA subbed out Savannah DeMelo, who I thought was one of the only players making an effort in the first half. However, she had to make way for Rose Lavelle, and I can recognize that Rose brought much-needed energy and focus to the USA attack. An intense foul by Danielle VanDeDonk against Lindsay Horan led to a standoff in the box, and after the players were separated by the referee, Horan scored a stunning header to bring the USA level. 

Following the goal, the USA seemed to pick up steam, and looked more like their usual selves. The team created chances, but just could not finish on them. Against other teams, we likely would have scored more goals, but the tie ended up being a wake-up call for the USA– we can't continue to start games at that casual pace. The final group stage game is against Portugal, who scored two goals in the first 20 minutes of their game against Vietnam. If both the USA and Portugal start their upcoming game in the same way they started their previous games, the USA could be in serious trouble.

After the match, many questions were raised about the strategy of USA coach Vlatko Andonivski. He started the same lineup of players in both of the USA's games, and only brought on a single sub against the Netherlands. In the scope of a larger tournament, this brings up two issues. One, players could get burned out. Two, if a player gets burned out before a big game, the player replacing her might not have any World Cup experience, which can be a distraction for that player and for the team as they work around the new addition.

As it stands, USA is on top of the group because of goal differential, but even with a win, the USA could lose the top spot to Netherlands if the Dutch beat Vietnam by a lot of goals. That being said, a USA win is not guaranteed–As a country at their first world cup, Portugal has nothing to lose. The USWNT, ranked #1 in the world, has absolutely everything to lose. A USA win of tie would send them through to the knockout stage, but a loss would catastrophically end the USA's World Cup and send Portugal through to the knockout stage. 

The USA v Portugal  game is at 3 am EST on August 1. If you're a true fan, you'll wake up and watch it.
