Fact-checking the Turkish Apple Music Chart.fact

People were saying things like, "The Turkish chart is so hard to rank on that even BTS and BLACKPINK couldn't make it, yet they somehow hit #5..."
So I looked it up myself.

BTS's SWIM entered at #2 in week 12 of 2026

Then it exploded, and by week 13, they completely dominated the chart (line-up).
This isn't a K-pop chart; it's the Turkish chart.
As you can tell by it being week 13,
this isn't an hourly chart like Melon, nor is it a daily chart;
they dominated the weekly chart.
Why??
Because people in Turkey don't use Apple Music.
Because there are so few users, it's a chart where fandom power can dominate the weekly chart, not even the daily one.

Naturally, BLACKPINK enters easily too.
The claim that K-pop can't enter this chart in the first place was a complete fabrication.

Neon entered at #9

It's #22 this week.

Magnetic entered at #3 in week 13

Then it disappeared from the chart after hitting #50 in week 18.

Boombala entered at #5 in week 22

Then it dropped to #52 in week 23.
Then it disappeared from the chart.
As you can see, aespa entered as well.
The claim that "K-pop can never enter the chart of Turkey, a nation of 90 million people" = a total lie.
It's just a chart where the user base is so damn small that rankings jump if just a few people join in.

For your information, TWS's debut song peaked at #1 on the Korean Apple Music chart and is currently breaking records, surpassing IVE.
Why spread such lies...??

This person isn't a pure Turkish listener; they are just a fan of another group doing reverse viral marketing.
