BTS - Life Goes On
Title Track for BE | 20 November



DIRECTOR JUNGKOOK I’M NOT OKAY

My excitement has fizzled slightly hearing that it will most likely be a ballad. However if it’s anything like Spring Day it will end up being one of my favorite songs from them (however it will need to be INCREDIBLE to live up to SD).

How is this the TITLE TRACK to BE if it's called Life Goes On? XD

It’s K-Pop lingo. The track that accompanies an album/EP is always referred to as the title track.

It’s really quite nice. Much more instant than what I had expected from a ballad. It won’t be another smash like Dynamite however it will please the fans just as much

I imagined, the hashtagging in K pop posts are always so weird and surely make sense in Asia maybe but I'm always baffled in general by how clearly they don't have an international team looking after them properly in western markets (I also remember a very poorly translated press release and was like WTF - sorry for being anal, I just work in PR/social media so I'm stupidly riled up by petty format things and typos XD).

A congratulations to Travis Scott who no longer has the most forgettable Hot 100 #1 of the year

I think it's established now that BTS' fanbase is large enough to get pretty much anything they release to go straight to #1 from this point on (unless there's a really huge current hit out at the time), but I really can't see this one coming even close to the staying power of 'Dynamite', incredibly boring song oops.

I'd say I expect it to be another huge 2nd week collapse but I assume the BTS stanbase probably aren't going to let that happen and it'll still have fairly strong 2nd week pure sales.

It is the first non-English song to debut at #1 so I suppose that's a pretty significant achievement. Also makes them the second act ever to debut at #1 on both the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 in the same week, just a few months after Taylor Swift was the first to do that. The depreciating value of records relating to debuting at #1 continues.

Yes officer, this is the comment

HUGE congratulations to them. I’ll be the first to admit that they have a plenty of better songs in their catalogue, I’m not ever going to complain about their well-earned success.

Welp, they fell 1-28. Still not as far as 'TROLLZ' fell at least but it beats 'FRANCHISE' to be the 2nd largest drop from #1 in Hot 100 history. x

Why does this fan driven momentum remind me of the days when simply being on Disney Channel meant your song would go top 20 on billboard
