Some armies can be very racist, just take a gander on their forums, YouTube and social media.

Obviously all fanbases are going to have at least some toxic commenters, but I've never seen a double-digit number of stans come on to a forum, mass downvote everybody & even make fun of orphaned children (the latter comment has thankfully been removed now). :/

avatar

WannabeXenophile

1

Wow! 😮
The mockery of orphaned children I admittedly haven't seen armies do, but I have seen some do the other things mentioned (some even go further than that), but mainly where it pertains to mentions of the group.
It is strange for members of any fandom to downvote comments that aren't even about their 'idol'.

avatar

Piran

1

Exactly!

Based on what I've heard from other regulars who I chat on here that actually do use Twitter, BTS Armies seem to target people who mention the group themselves in a way that isn't positive (which is still absolutely wrong, because everybody is entitled to their own opinion!).

However, the KSI stans here seemed to attack literally everybody, when a good 95% of the comments in this thread weren't even about him. :/

avatar

WannabeXenophile

Agreed! Stan culture is toxic as heck.

Yeah, like, I adore Taylor Swift, but I'd never lash out at someone if they didn't feel the same way about her. :/

i’m done here.

this forum has become a toxic wasteland. everytime i’m on here i always click “sad” on the reactions because i don’t wanna be here, but i have to at this point.

if my impostor is reading this - i had attempted suicide earlier in the week and this is all your fault. stop spreading false info about me and choke on a d**k. i have to stay off until you never come back again. and if you come back, i’m calling the police - that’s not a threat, that’s a f***ing PROMISE.

lastly, i just wanna thank every user on here and the discord server who has been respectful to me and my opinions. you guys don’t deserve to be treat like sh** and tbh, neither do i.

sorry for all the cursing, i just had to let my emotions out.

bye.

avatar

Piran

I'm very sorry that you feel this way!

Hopefully you'll be back once we get rid of these pathetic impersonators & trust me, that is something that myself & everyone else on the Discord server can & will make happen.

In the meantime, take all the time that you need! ❤️

mate, i remember first commenting here and getting to know yous when there were barely any other users here, and since lockdown many more users joined. come to think of it, we’ve built a community out of this! :D

i hope to be back as soon as i can. see u on discord 👋

avatar

Piran

Yeah, I remember the days back in 2016 when I first joined this community where getting like 50 comments on an article was an achievement, now look, we're at almost 500 comments this week. :)

Also, 90% of that figure is often full of positivity & interesting discussions, but it's a real shame that the remaining 10% are from the same people who want to break this place apart!

Like I said in my last comment, I'm not stopping spreading kindness & love here until those absolute failures who are targeting us leave for good, no matter how long that takes! :D

Hey, hopefully I can bring back my chart reviews here within the next few weeks, so they're always there for you to check out.

I'm very thankful that we have such an incredible Discord server too. You guys really have saved me thanks to that! ;)

It's so sad that we've got to the point where almost every post on this forum is getting downvoted. :/

it's the fact that Streets by Doja debuts at top 20 even though the little promotion its' had from her label 0.0 I'VE BEEN SAYIN ITS THE BEST TRACK FROM HOT PINK PERIOD

It’s a really good song, but Cyber S*x, Won’t Bite, Like That, and (if you include the deluxe) Tia Tamera are all better.

It’s really impressive it’s got there with literally no promotion from her though, really shows the power of her music (and TikTok lol).

Compared to other music out, Drivers license is a bland, boring attempt at a piano ballad. I don't see why its at number one in both the UK and US, when there's nothing about it that stands out from other songs.

Hi guys I'm new on the forum, just wondered does anyone else like nopus by Eric prydz? I think it one of the best dance tracks I've heard for ages, I miss that big sounding instrumental type dance track.

Also I'm not sure about the new tiesto track yet, I prefer his previous one 'coffee's and also (showing my age a bit) his older stuff like 643 and suburban train)

avatar

Rector

Hi, welcome! I absolutely love Eric Prydz's 'NOPUS,' it's an underrated EDM banger for sure.
I'm also on the fence for 'The Business' - I much prefer 'Ritual' and 'God is a Dancer!'

They're actually crediting the version of the goosebumps remix with Travis scott now I didn't notice lol

avatar

⁉️

2

Wait, so now it’s classed as a remix as the original, but as a different song as well?

If they were counted as the same thing (which is usually the rule for remixes), then wouldn’t it be on ACR?

Even more confusingly, it shows up on Travis Scott’s artist profile, but it dosen’t credit him.

The charts are dull as ditch water, has nobody not got any sense of originality and dare to listen to other forms of music that never chart anymore? So much talent out there yet you all follow the same generic formula, your all sheep.

Check out the band H.E.A.T and the song Rise for something truly great.

Good evening guys, cool to see 'Driver's License achieving a second week at #1 and I am excited for what she has next.
New KSI song debuted at #2 with Anne Marie, it's dope and inevitably going to do well.
The rise for 34+35 doesn't surprise me at all and it's definitely strong on TikTok though I do actually prefer 'Positions' which may be an unpopular opinion. Still, it's a fun song :)
I'm cool with 'Sweet Melody' dropping to #4 since it has has a good chart run. It's exciting to see 'No Time For Tears' rising to 19 as it's decent and definitely has potential.
Things aren't looking good for Lil Nas X with 'Holiday' crashing well out of the top 40. The song is decent and deserved a bit better, but I'm sure he'll be fine as an artist.
'My Head & My Heart' by Ava Max went up one spot this week, I hope it was just a slow week for the song because it really does have potential to become a smash that I'm invested in.
Seeing Lana's 'Chemtrails Over the Country Club' rise to this week 58 is slightly shocking as I thought it'd fall off, it's really good and of course deserving of its success, but I didn't think the song would be consumable for the mainstream, which I guess it's kind of cool to see her singles gain some success.
Also excited that 'Streets' by Doja Cat has risen all the way to #20 and continuous rising for 'The Business'.

If I stop and pinch off the she plays the song then I let another bit go and pinch it off again. I can get seven streams out of one decent . Hope everyone is good. My friends are still ignoring me.

I just think Get out my head is too repetitive, but also it sounds like so many other songs. That piano sound is basically Nathan Dawe's career, and when it's that loud in the mix it's quite annoying.

It is stupid that 'Holiday' dropped to big. It is annoying as well because it only declined for the second week now and it is stupid that ACR is ruining good song. I hope that the OCC will rot ACR in because that is annoying that songs like 'Diamonds' is ruined because it dropped too big and it should go back to the Top 40. I hope they can remove ACR. It is unnecessary nowadays.

It seems to be songs titles that start with an M or an N that did well for you this week, haha. :)

Seriously though, I absolutely love your: #2, #4, #9 & #10!

Awesome choices here.

Very good words there! :D

Of course, it's not just different genres that I listen to! I'm also trying to explore music in as many foreign languages as possible too, haha.

I like Don't Play but I can't see it reaching #1 due to how dominant drivers license is at the moment

I’m very excited to see both ‘The Business’ & ‘Good Days’ keep climbing! :D

I really hope that both of them will be in the Top 10 soon.

I'm glad you highlighted "The Business " for me last week (or the week before). I am loving it. Another dance tune that I hope goes higher is "Regardless" by RAYE & Rudimental.

I'm surprised that 'Regardless' hasn't gone Top 40 here yet (neither has Rudimental's other current chart hit), but I definitely think that 'The Business' hasn't peaked just yet. :)

I love seeing ‘Drivers License’ remain at #1 with yet another massive lead! Honestly, I adore this song so much that I don’t even think the overexposure will get to me with this one, haha. :)

‘All I Want’ finally making the Top 40 is awesome news too, as it would be another 10/10 for me!

I am not fan of the current No.1 due to it being a ballad which . Why do I have to listen to that rubbish. I don't listen to plain music like that. I am sorry if that's what you want to hear but it is true. End of.

Fair enough, but I love ballads & I'm happy that it is #1. :)

They are dull and when I see the artists name I think 'One Hit Wonder' straight away. The song 'All I Want' is on the Top 40 but it is not a single so it doesn't make her a 'Two Hit Wonder'.

I can tell when artists are a One Hit Wonder.

I class a "hit" as anything that makes the Top 100 of The Chart Of The Year, so we'll see. :)

I'm not convinced that Olivia Rodrigo will be one though, or at least, I certainly hope not. :)

She is a one hit wonder because I don't think that 'All I Want' is a single and to be a one hit wonder you need to have one single be on the top 40. It doesn't make her a two hit wonder, it makes her a one hit wonder. Such as shame that artist may have only one hit.

avatar

Piran

2

To be fair, the fact that 'All I Want' made the Top 40 without being an official single nor from an album bomb just makes the fact that it's here even more impressive, haha. :)

Well I know that she is a one hit wonder because I bet people only know that song not her as an artist. I am really sorry if I have hurt anyone but my opinion is always entitled.

Promo singles, or other songs that are not singles don't count as a hit.

Piran

Yeah, your opinion is always entitled (as is anyone's), but I just don't agree with it in this instance, that's all. :)

If people are buying & streaming any song enough, it becomes a hit to me. :)

Only 2-week #1 on either chart so far this year. And only the 2nd of this year's #1s to have a 2nd week at #1 in total. Evermore having it's first #1 week last year.

Piran

That's an interesting chart fact, although I'd certainly expect many more weeks at #1 for this to come! ;)

I would say any song making the top 100 in this day and age is considered a hit, not just the top 100 of the year! If you don't have a big record company pushing you into big playlists or get a track go viral on tik tok or already be famous due to some other reason then i would say making the top 100 is an enormous achievement and definitely classed as a hit.
(PS I read your review last week on drivers licence, I personally still feel its OK and not sure why it is being so successful, perhaps it will grow on me but I just thought a song with such traction would be instantly amazing on first few listens. Can't deny she has an amazing voice though!)

avatar

Piran

Even if it debuts at #100 & drops out the following week? I can't really call that a "hit", but fair enough. :)

Thanks for checking out my review of 'Drivers License'! I'm glad that we agree on how incredible Olivia's vocals are, haha.

avatar

Rob Parkinson

Yeah even if it only hits #100 for a week I would class it as a hit, for all the tracks being released each week for sure it's a hit if it breaks into the top 100. This is different of course for established artists but then they will have a record company who will have paid to get them into big playlists and gave them as much publicity as possible so they are guaranteed in the top 100 so depending on how established the artist is would depend on how high to be classed as a hit for them.

avatar

Piran

I guess it's relative to the artist too, for the most part.

Like, if any of us released a song tomorrow & it debuted at #100 (or any artist who has never charted before), we'd probably look upon it as a a "hit", but if the lead single to Ed's next album debuted at #100, we probably wouldn't! :P

avatar

Rob Parkinson

Exactly, there are not many artists like Ed Sheeran or compared to the amount of artists out there, there are far far more who haven't had a track hit the top 100 compared to those that have. I just think its a bit demoralising to all those artists who are trying to break through and get that #100 hit as there are way more trying than those that have done it, so for all those out there trying hitting the top #100 is a massive achievement and is most definitely a hit.

It's on the Singles Chart, therefore it's a single! Whether they intended it to be or not.

avatar

Piran

2

Yeah, it really comes down to the expectations everyone has for an artist or a song! :)

If you're not expecting an artist to chart at all, then they hit the Top 40, that's probably a real hit for them! Then again, if you think a single will go to #1, but it doesn't even make the Top 10, then many people would consider it a flop.

The bar for officially being a 'hit' was always getting at least one week in the Top 75. We get to see the Top 100 nowadays so I guess you could argue that's been extended to 100 now.

Piran

Chart peaks aren't everything though! I always consider chart longevity as a big part of what defines a "hit" nowadays. :)

i think if a song hits top 20. There are a lot of songs on the top 100 of last year (eg. perfect, mr brightside) that were hits, but not of last year. Theyre just evergreen. Hits are viral imo

avatar

Piran

2

Sure, that's why when I do my Year-End rankings, I often only include that debuted on that list, so that all the Christmas songs, 'Perfect', 'Mr Brightside' etc. wouldn't have to be covered again, haha. :)
