Third opinion requested
I've asked for a third opinion regarding the digital sales discussion here. According to the rules I should notify you. - Ïvana (talk) 02:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I've already sent you an email but I will also explain it in details here.
 * On April 5, 2023, an editor named DiegoF 1996 edited Jimin's sales and added this information:
 * Number of sales this week added (US [38K] = Global [86K] - Global Excl US [48K])
 * This calculation is completely wrong. I will explain difference between the 3 main Billboard digital-counting charts
 * - Global 200 & Global Excel. US: counting digital sales from worldwide retailers like Amazon, Itunes and NOT counting data from BTS official store (BTS official store only counts sales from US)
 * - Digital song sales chart (also Hot 100): counting digital sales from US retailers like Amazon, Itunes, Qobuz and INCLUDES data from BTS official store
 * So we cannot do the calculation: Number of sales this week added (US [38K] = Global [86K] - Global Excl US [48K]). That is completely wrong. 38k are only sales from Amazon, Itunes, Qobuz in the US, the remaining 200k sales are from BTS official store.
 * According to Billboard, Like Crazy sold 254,000 song downloads and CD singles.

 * According to Forbes, Like Crazy sold 241k downloads and topped the Digital Song Sales chart. https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2023/04/04/btss-jimin-occupies-10-of-billboards-song-sales-chart-as-his-new-hits-debut/?sh=7d9835c113bd
 * There can't be any song that only sold 38,000 downloads and topped the Billboard hot 100 chart.
 * I hope you will understand my explanation. Thank you. Vanjiminie (talk) 02:28, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
