The BTS ARMY diverted their “rage” over PCA’s snub by puting MAP of the Soul Persona Back to #1 on Worldwide iTunes Album Chart, and re-charting other BTS songs on US iTunes and other charts around the world, even their old albums, such as “Mono”.

The hashtags: #BuyPERSONAOniTunes, #The PeopleChooseBTS and #ARMYsChoiceBTS trended on Twitter, with the 1st still trending up to this hour.
ARMY have kept receipts of the voter’s count and BTS was way ahead of the reported winners. If it’s the people’s choice, then the votes should be the best parameter of what people have chosen. So, it’s not that ARMYs are not good sports. They’re just angry at the blatant disregard of the majority votes as seen in the vote receipts.

Aileen twitted:
Even Apple’s AI was unable to predict a behavior like ours. Recharting an album 7 months after release making the system think it’s a new release. We are an amazing anomaly, a phenomenon on its own. Social movement theories will have a field day. @BTS_twt https://t.co/2NQpqsnX3Q

Kook has aptly twitted:
the reason ARMYS is mad because BTS really deserves the award this time. their concert LY SY this year has the highest record of sold out tickets and you guys are clowning us that other groups actually win that. its toxic. @BTS_twt #ThePeopleChooseBTS pic.twitter.com/o7sZeF9oSh

Nahhh if you think armys are annoying for speaking up about the blatant chart manupulations, vote rigging, payola, industry accepting paychecks then you have completely lost. This isn't about fanwars anymore. This is about standing up for what is right.

The PCA snub had made ARMY around the world unite and prove that BTS deserves the awards, especially the tour award as no one in the industry has recently achieved what the BTS legends were able to do in their Stadium Tours.
The people have chosen, and they choose BTS.
