BTS Jungkook is headed for his first solo No.1 on Billboard's 'Hot 100' with "Seven" amidst concerns of unfair promotions within the group
AKP STAFF
BTS Jungkook is expected to land No.1 on Billboard's 'Hot 100' with "Seven" but some fans are alleging that Jungkook is being given preferential treatment in terms of marketing and promotions compared to other members of BTS.
On July 22nd, many charting accounts released predictions based on charting data for the next week's Billboard's 'Hot 100.' They all predicted that Jungkook would be making history with his first solo number-one song on Billboard's 'Hot 100.' Achieving this milestone would serve as a momentous occasion for both Jungkook as an individual artist and BTS as a group.
However, a wave of concern has emerged among some fans who question whether he is receiving preferential promotions over his fellow group members. The original poster who raised this concern on a popular online community did not disclose whether he was a fan of a particular member but the chart sure captured attention among the fandom as more than 1200 comments were made under this single post with the comparison chart.
The original writer alleged that Jungkook was the only member who got iTunes pre-orders, radio promotions in the U.S. and U.K., and posters all over the world. He also alleged that while all the other members only had Melon or Spotify promotions, Jungkook received YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook promotions on top of those.
It was a very short promo for a single... it's fair they did more to gain public attention to me. And anyway, different SOLO projects come with different plans, and members' intentions and ideas, so don't expect all of them to follow the exact same way of promoting for their projects...?

Only one of those songs was sung in English only therefore altering its promotion path in comparison to other members. There is no controversy here, just good news, hope you get #1 JK and I know all the other members do too!!
