[instiz] BTS JIMIN LOSES OVER 200 MILLION SPOTIFY STREAMS

[instiz] BTS JIMIN LOSES OVER 200 MILLION SPOTIFY STREAMS
One measure of popularity lies with streaming results, resulting in fans monitoring the streams their favorite artists receive. Of the various platforms, Spotify is arguably the most popular internationally, showing the total number of streams a track, album, or artist has received.

With so many numbers to analyze, Spotify has taken preventative measures to prevent streaming inflation. The platform regularly conducts mass removals of streams detected as “fraud” or “artificial,” as defined by its website.

An artificial stream is a stream that doesn’t reflect genuine user listening intent, including any instance of attempting to manipulate Spotify by using automated processes (e.g. bots or scripts).

As a result, many artists will suffer from having their streams removed because the system detects listens as fraud. Lately, the platform has taken to removing numbers near the beginning of each month, which has continued in July 2025.

In July’s sweep, many K-Pop artists suffered a drop in streams, with popular idols losing the highest totals. BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Jennie reportedly lost around 2 million streams on rosé and “Like Jennie,” respectively.

Several members of BTS also lost streams on recent releases.

Jungkook, V, and Jin also reportedly lost varying amounts of streams: Jin’s “Don’t Say You Love Me” allegedly had over 15 million deleted; Jungkook lost millions of streams on tracks like “Seven” and “3D,” while V “Winter Ahead” saw a drop of around 13 million globally.

1. Is this an official article?? I’m curious 

2. I’ve always been suspicious of him. I wonder what the fans’ reaction is 

3. I’ve felt this for a while, but why not just filter from the start? What’s the point of slashing a ton all at once at the end of the month? Articles get published based on the scores, but then they cut off several billion points afterward, then the next time it’s, “Achieved again!” and more articles come out. It’s ridiculous. The whole Spotify thing is so lame. (Not saying the people using bots aren’t lame too.)

4. Even if it’s cumulative, anything in the millions is still a lot

5. They should’ve just filtered things properly from the start. The singer gets mocked when the numbers look weird, and then gets mocked again when the numbers get cut later.

6. 200 million is too much. Anyway, Spotify really needs to come up with a solution, it’s a bot fest no matter who it is, and all the singer gets is mockery

7. There were always talks around him, but 200 million streams.. 

8. 200 million streams in one year is way too much no? It’s not for nothing that he gets mocked overseas

9. They should’ve never allowed this system to start with 

10. Is Jimin’s haters trying to make this viral? Why is everyone’s words so similar here?
