I mentioned in a previous video that even though BTS’ ‘Butter’ broke many records both on Youtube and Spotify, it was revealed that 47% of BTS’ streams for ‘Butter’ were filtered and not counted
When ‘Dynamite’ came out, 38% of the streams were filtered out
BTS armies felt this was unfair so they trended #InvestigateSpotify
Some fans also got in touch with the Executive Vice President of Columbia Records who revealed that the company is having high level conversations with all streaming services about these filtering rules
He also sent armies a message saying: “Hang in there & keep up the amazing work”
“This absolutely needs to be investigated, and there is a need or transparency. This issue not only affects BTS, but other artists as well” commented a netizen
