Discover the different ways you can support Ateez's latest comeback
Album sales is one of the criteria used to determinate scores in Korean music shows and charting on Billboard.It's extremely important to make sure the retailer you buy from counts for the Hanteo and Gaon charts AND they count for 1st day/1st week sales. If you're in the US/PR, make sure they also count for Billboard.
Worldwide
US ONLY
⚠️If you buy from Hello82 from outside the US/PR, the sale will count for Hanteo/Gaon but not for Billboard.⚠️
Digitals are a huge part of music shows scores and extremely important to get wins. For this comeback, the kcharts focus will be on Bugs.
We can help with Bugs in different ways:
1. Create Bugs accounts: These accounts are later donated to Kfans so they can mass download the songs once the album is released. A tutorial and form to donate them can be found here. UPDATE [12-07-2022]: BUGS HAS CHANGED THEIR RULES AND NOW IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO CREATE ACCOUNTS USING NON KOREAN PHONE NUMBERS. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT ALREADY, YOU CAN GET ONE FROM TWITTER VENDORS.
2. Bugs Streaming:
- iOs: You can buy passes directly on the app.
- Android: It's not possible to buy passes directly on the app so you will have to buy through a vendor. We recommend @macloudroni's group orders.
3. Fund a streamer: If you can't participate in streaming, you can help by funding an account for someone who is willing to stream but can't buy an account on their own. You can donate using this website.
4. Donate for mass downloads: Mass downloads are extremely important because they count for 80% of the Bugs chart. These are done by kfans using donated accounts. You can donate to Atiny Network or directly to the Korean fanbase
