BTS singer Jimin experienced one of the most humiliating moments of his career yesterday when Billboard revealed that his song “Like Crazy” had dropped 44 spots from the top spot on the Hot 100. After that, the ARMY began vigorously criticizing the publication, saying it was all part of a “campaign against the Idol and the group.”
The renowned Billboard Hot 100 chart, which features a weekly ranking of the 100 most popular songs in the country, underwent its customary weekly update on Monday.
There, Jimin’s song “Like Crazy” had made its chart debut at the top. It broke Taylor Swift’s record for the largest slide from the top spot in the chart’s history with “Willow,” but in this week’s edition, it fell to the 45th spot on the chart.
Following this, BTS’ ARMY accuses Billboard of deceiving them after it was revealed that the publication had flagged over 100,000 digital purchases of the song as “fraudulent.”
According to what the media said, the group’s and the star dancer’s followers repeated these purchases, thus in accordance with the new regulations, it was strictly prohibited to purchase the same song more than once.
Since a significant portion of social network users have been criticizing Jimin’s historic decline with contempt, the artist’s fans haven’t been afraid to express their displeasure on social media.
