  1. I only hope kpop fans can see through this disgusting move. Billboard has finally found a way to profit off of Kpop, but still can shut them out of the charts. If you are not dirty, sneaky, underhanded and desperate, you do not have a place in western music industry. It is all corrupt. Billboard and the Grammys need to be boycotted!

  2. Exactly! It is to keep the artists on top, whose companies pay lots of money under the table to get them there. They are not going to keep letting BTS top the charts, when they can’t get paid for it. It is a corrupt, profitable underhanded business, not fair. It turned from celebrating artists to a money grabbing business. Now they have found a way to profit off of kpop, but still keep them off the charts.

  3. Bang PD won’t play their game, and line their pockets with money to keep kpop in the running. Unfortunately, the US music industry ( I’m from the US, I KNOW how it is) is corrupt and dirty, and BTS won’t stoop to their dirty tricks to get the air time to get on the charts.

  4. Please don’t. This is not good for kpop, or the idols. They have finally found a way to make money off of kpop, but still not let them on the charts. This is a very bad thing for your idols. Do not support this!

  5. So BB is just cashing in on Kpop , but keeping them off the main charts. It is a cash grab scam to keep kpop out of western music industry. It is very insulting. The western artists and labels fear kpop, and can’t use them to profit off their “pay to play” scams, so they are keeping them segregated. Disgusting. I hope the young fans don’t go rushing out to buy this because it has their idols featured in it, making BB lots of money. They need to understand that this is a very bad thing for their idols and kpop in general. They are shutting them out of charts!

  6. It isn’t that we don’t want to be on it, it is that they keep shutting us out. Every single time BTS has topped the chats, they have changed the rules to make it harder for them to get/ stay there. Dude, be serious. This is all about money under the table. There is NOTHING- absolutely nothing, fair about how Billboard conducts business! I am American, and been around years longer than you, I understand what is going on. Stop trying to defend them. I am beginning to think you are a BB plant. We are not stupid.

  7. It is all about how they can profit off kpop and BTS, and BTS won’t “pay to play”. They are not going to let their artists who pay under the table lose ranking to BTS or kpop when they can’t profit off of them. The western music industry is shady and corrupt. We need to boycott this, now that they have found a way to profit off of BTS and kpop. It is all about money, nothing else.

  8. And you have proven our point! Kpop is not as well know in the states because they keep shutting kpop out! It is a threat to your western artists, who pay big money to stay on the top of the charts. Don’t even try to dent it! But how do you explain it when BTS gets on the charts? Their REAL numbers? How they sell out arenas- multiple nights in a row? Funny how they are not well know or liked in the US…. Good try, but it all boils down to money. The western music industry can’t profit off of BTS like they do with their underhanded tactics with the “top western artists”. The west uses s*x, drugs and money to get to the top. And sometimes, even talent. Don’t fool yourself, the west can’t handle the music that is made by talent, hard work and scruples.

  9. Please don’t, this is a very bad thing for the kpop industry and the idols. It is just a way for Billboard to make money off of kpop, since we don’t pay them millions of dollars to play our music and get on the charts. It is pure greed. Don’t insult your idols by supporting this . Our kpop groups and idols will not benefit from this, only the western music industry, who does not want kpop on their charts.
