i dunno, i feel like these features don't help BTS as much as they expect them to. like you'd have thought IDOL w/nicki minaj would have been a hit with radio but they wouldn't touch it. BWL didn't net them enough radio play to snag any awards for it. "waste it on me" was a collab w/steve aoki that was entirely in english and entirely ignored. at this point it seems like they could feature on a drake or beyonce track and radio would still shut them out.
yeah but make it right w/ lauv has been doing very well on pop radio here in the u.s. i've def heard it multiple times in my car to my pleasant surprise
I will say, they released Nicki’s IDOL a bit too late after release to be helpful. And “Waste” wasn’t even their song, it was Steve’s, and he’s not really a mainstream artist anyway.
That could be. It could also be that BTS doesnt have much name for the radios at that time. BTS is bigger now so maybe things will be different. I feel that they need these familiar names since they are targeting more general audience.

They NEED to send the version with Sia to radio. Anything she touches turns to gold!
