It's time to say goodbye to "Hello" ! On Sunday night, Cape Verde became the 103 country to have BTS "Black Swan" as their n°1 in the iTunes Top Songs Chart. It was previously held by Adele's "Hello" since its release in October 2015 in 102 countries.

They probably don't care anymore about breaking records but this is impressive for a Korean band !

As expected from army. An army indeed lol Congratulations to BTS! So glad Black Swan is the song that did it - definitely one of my fav songs from them

Black swan shoulda been the main title, ON got nothing on her. If they just had a BST 2.0 MV for it I just know they woulda kept that YT record

I'm still waiting on a BST 2.0. I had hoped that it would have been Fake Love at least songwise but nope, then Black Swan came in with the artsy MV so I was like...close enough *shrugs*

If they did a present day BST, what would you want the video to look like?

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm...Ideally a present day BST should still have some references to the previous MV (like how FL used some of the props from DNA iirc). They could show the statue that Jin kissed - even Jin kissing the statue again, Taehyung wearing wings, the members reprising their former roles as the 7 deadly sins or the members walking through the museum etc. but it should still be its own MV. Perhaps, it could show the members reprising their roles in different ways. The Japanese version of BST was pretty interesting actually, even though it was kind of an acid trip, it was still basically like a modernized version of the Korean version.

Since they've already done the art museum in BST and the theater in BS, I'd say they could use a castle or mansion, they could go outside of the box like SD and give us outdoors imagery - say like an oasis to give us that fantasy element or even do both - whilst channeling their roles so that you can still see the connection between the songs. Maybe even have them portraying an angels and demons theme. Whew, there are so many things that they can do!

ON seems like a song I should like - organ, hype drum beat - but I've listened to it maybe 5 or 6 times? But I listen to Black Swan constantly. I can't figure it out.

[rolezeira.livejournal.com]

Yes I don't dislike ON but I don't ever feel like listening to it :| it feels a little bit dated too idk

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

YES ! And they robbed poor Tae in the MV, his perfect face was made for darker concepts and he should have been the black swan to Jimin's white one

[rolezeira.livejournal.com]

I put on my clown mask when we got 0 scenes with Tae being the black swan/fallen angel w his black wings omg what a waste!!!!!11

Black Swan minus the autotune is definitely more up my alley than ON. Congrats on breaking the record!
