The Billboard charts are gonna CHANGE.
As exciting as this is (especially for BTS!), the sad reality is that Western labels will do whatever it takes to find loopholes. Don& #39;t expect this to mark the end of shady practices meant to artificially inflate album sales.
But if this change actually does what it& #39;s designed to do (i.e. reflect consumer behavior more fairly), then the charts will finally show what #ARMY has known for ages—that NOBODY sells actual records like the boys do.
I mean, just LOOK at this.

As someone a lot funnier than me said, the boys clearly practice social distancing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz">
Yes, the gap is there. But it& #39;s about to get bigger.
