Recently, in an interview with Billboard magazine, BTS was asked about allegations that their fans had manipulated the numbers by overbuying and over-streaming their songs. BTS leader RM said, “It’s a fair question. But if there is a conversation inside Billboard about what being No. 1 should represent, then it’s up to them to change the rules and make streaming weigh more on the ranking. Slamming us or our fans for getting to No. 1 with physical sales and downloads, I don’t know if that’s right. It just feels like we’re easy targets because we’re a boy band, a K-pop act, and we have this high fan loyalty.”
BTS consists of members RM, V, Suga, J-Hope, Jungkook, Park Ji-min, and Jin.
