I’m still blown away that people are on a message board about a stream tracking app complaining about people steaming just because they can’t see outside of their bubble of convoluted facts that an artist with the biggest sales day, sold out tour and streaming leader across multiple platforms couldn’t dare possibly have legitimately earned, checks notes…”2 million scrobbles”
Today BTS will kick off the European leg of ARIRANG WORLD TOUR, with the first stop being in Madrid at Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano🔥
It’s been 6 years since BTS performed in Europe and it’s also the first time they’re performing in Spain🇪🇸
Spanish armys let’s give them a warm welcome, stay hydrated during the concert and take care of each other🫶
En fin, una demostración más de que, como siempre, BTS y ARMY se tienen mutuamente y ya está. Las alegaciones de bots siguen llegando y los siete están en la cima más que nunca, las cosas siempre se ponen en su lugar y la basura termina en la basura. No dejen de reproducir como si fuera el primer día.
"ALIENS" ha superado los 200 MILLONES de reproducciones en Spotify! 🥳
— #BTS extiende su RECORD como el GRUPO y ACTO ASIÁTICO y #ARIRANG como el ALBUM del 2026 con la mayor cantidad de canciones con dicha cifra! VAMOS POR EL 14/14! 😭🔥

Hey everyone,
Just a quick heads-up about what’s been going on with Last fm, in case you haven’t heard.
Over the past few hours, Last fm seems to have made some changes to its algorithm that resulted in BTS disappearing from several of its charts. Subsequently many of us have noticed that our plays aren’t being scrobbled properly. It’s becoming clear that the platform is flagging a significant portion of ARMY’s activity as spam or bot behaviour. Furthermore we have seen screenshots from their forums that dismiss BTS charting as inauthentic.
We don’t accept that.
We work hard to stream authentically, and having that dedication dismissed or written off is something we refuse to get behind. We will always stand by platforms that treat BTS and ARMY with respect, and right now, Last fm isn’t doing that. It’s not even doing its job of counting streams correctly. So for now, we’re asking you to unlink and delete your Last fm accounts.
Right now, you may want to switch to apps like Stats fm or Musicat, especially if you’re running missions on bcd app! Keep streaming. Keep playing. Every play still counts across all music platforms, our support for BTS will never be held hostage by small-minded people. 💜

🐨:He must be the fittest one of them all
Body to Body single handedly wins the narrative battle for carrying the main textual content for Album Of The Year. i was reading The Odyssey by Homer today, and i couldn’t stop thinking about the opening track of the album ↓
Just as Odysseus spends a decade fighting to return to Ithaca, refusing the immortality offered by Calypso; BTS used Body to Body to plant their flag back in their cultural home after global military enlistment and hiatus.
In Homer’s The Odyssey, nostos is not merely the physical act of traveling home; it is an arduous psychological and spiritual battle to reclaim one's rightful identity, sovereignty, and legacy after prolonged exile.
I compared it to BTS's Body to Body from the ARIRANG album, this framework reveals a profound parallel between Odysseus's epic journey and the group’s return to their musical and cultural roots.
Ithaca is Odysseus's north star. It is a rugged, harsh island, but it is uniquely his. His entire identity is tied to its soil, his family, and his duties as king. The foundational sample of the traditional folk song Arirang acts as the musical Ithaca. ‘Arirang’ is Korea's unofficial anthem of resilience, separation, and reunion.
Upon returning to Ithaca, Odysseus finds his home overrun by suitors trying to usurp his place. He must strip away his disguises, endure physical trials, and string his old bow to reclaim his throne. similarly, Returning from a mandatory military enlistment and extended hiatus, BTS steps back into a shifting music industry. B2B serves as their trial of reclamation. They assert that their time away did not weaken their bond to their heritage or their dominance over their musical kingdom.
reason why i said it wins narrative is b/c this isn’t the only time i related this track to a chapter of homecoming. its become a universal human experiences of a long, painful separation, a subsequent “rebirth,” and the eventual joy of a grand reunion.
Es gracioso como se encargan de tildar a army de b0t cuando bts viene de hacer giras con completo SOLD OUT en varios países, enormes filas en colas virtuales para comprar una entrada y reunir a miles fans en un lugar con tan solo anunciar su presencia, al final todos son unos resentidos y envidiosos cuando se trata del impacto de bts
Bayangkan menyalahkan BTS dan ARMY atas infrastruktur basis data platform kalian yang kuno dan gagal. Kalian tidak bisa menangani trafik masif dan asli kami, jadi kalian membuat pembaruan hanya untuk menyembunyikan ketidakmampuan teknis kalian sendiri.

Last fm: ".... Espero que esto haga que BTS y los artistas relacionados con BTS dejen de ser una presencia permanente en la página de listas y en las canciones en tendencia"
#lastfmisoverparty
espero q estén siendo más bots q nunca, hasta en la sopa encontrarán a BTS.
Ok so I just got off work and finally have the time to sit down and delete my account. Except I CAN'T because no matter what I do I get this message when I press delete account. On every single device I've tried.
