I'm curious about this poll. I wanna see what the other options were.
Well, I can see how ARMY are an organized unit, so I can imagine they've strategized how to get BE to chart and stay on the charts - just like they did with Dynamite. The thing with Dynamite's success is that majority of it is from ARMY and not really the GP. They have got the art of bulk buying down to a T, because the sales was the reason why Dynamite was able to chart so high for so long - no other song was selling as much as Dynamite, but every other song had more radio play and streaming numbers. It was literally only last week that Dynamite finally managed to surpass WAP and enter the top 5 most streamed songs in the US even though it's been 2 months after its release. ARMY have been working overtime to hold streaming parties and funding bulk buying every day just to keep up the momentum - that has got to be exhausting. Dynamite definitely got a boost from Fortnite and being promoted on TV - the other songs in the top 10 (especially WAP) aren't even being promoted at all. I think the GP is feeling the song cuz it's a cute bop and I'm sure they gained some new fans as a result, but I am not gonna assume that all of those fans turned hardcore enough overnight to stream and buy this song til kingdom come. The GP are the casual listener type, they'll stream from time to time and bop on the radio but they're not gonna be dropping big bucks and streaming 25/8 on any song.
Dream is definitely the GP friendly unit. I'm a fan too but even I get confused lol Dream is my bias unit as well. Ridin was arguably their best charting song to date. Because whilst Punch also hit #1 like Ridin, unlike Punch, Ridin charted reasonably higher and longer. However, it seems as if the distinct sounds that Dream, 127 and WayV should be known for have begun to overlap - so now they all sound pretty interchangeable. Even their concepts seem to be similar. So it's like, what's the point of these separate units if they aren't that different anymore?
