What is the significance of the song's debut? And what does it mean for the artists involved? Billboard staffers discuss these questions and more.

has made an explosive debut on the Billboard Hot 100, thanks in large part to a captivating music video and an ensuing public discourse. Following the No. 1 bow of"Montero " in April, this week,"Industry Baby" -- alongside, and with production from Take a Daytrip and Kanye West -- pulls up just short of that benchmark, with a No. 2 start.

The song does it with Lil Nas X's second headline-grabbing video of the year, a prison-set visual featuring the rapper being twerked on by fellow male prisoners, and then leading a group of them in a nude shower dance routine. The clip was No. 1 on YouTube the past week, and has drawn a ton of attention from the culture in general -- particularly in the wake of fellow rap star DaBaby's

APOLOGIZE!!! StopAsianHate

Today, Billboard ( and Andrew Unterberger) pretty said with its whole chest that ARMY buying all the music so BTS can have a 1 hurts more than weighing T-shirts, condoms and belt buckles for its charts. Never forget. 🍵

This just crossed all the limits!!! !! This is disgusting, disrespectful and xenophobic Apologize and do better next time 😡😡

booo to bilboards staff no 2 is new no 1. hahahhaha so dump and so miserable bts does not need yo be naked to sell songs

They're coming!!! ❤️❤️❤️

🤣New no. 1 is 2 LMFAO🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hope everyone stays happy with their fukin no.2 which is 1 now LOL . Can't relate , how people can be that STUPID 🤣🤣

Here’s a burning question- Great song but inappropriate MV. Should kids be watching this trash?

Your staffers are very ignorant praising this BOY for visuals that are TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE for family television.

New No. 1 is No. 2? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You guys are hilarious...

...they always tend to pay attention while the timing iz late😌💨 (zayata)

lilnasxisoverparty

Damn💜

He's over

‼️ RT to vote BTS for BOMBA KPOP at the 2021 KCAMexico

getting 1 means they do better than 2. There's no way 2 is 1. Netizens criticized BTS and ARMY because they were jealous of the achievements of Asian artists.

2 IS STILL 2 !

I swear I would be so embarassed if I were to put out to the world such a poor work of mine. Professionalism, respect, never heard of that right ? Asian artists succeeding in the industry seems to bother the hell out of you but guess what,

Very strange, because the fans Racism hurts!!! Because BTS fans are spread all over the world, so they deserve to always be at number 1, if you want to be like that then have more fans , Simple answer!!!

& how do Western artists sit& take the condescending “it’s ok baby, you really won”? U good w an industry that shames fans for BUYING MUSIC?😂That invalidates being on top? Y’all sure are quiet. LilNasX how’bout yr OTR no.1 run? Doesn’t count? justinbieber billieeilish Anyone?

Not y’all being scared💀pinches pendejos

What a shame

Remember when people dragged lil nas x old town road for blocking artists cause of its remixes? Now they doing it to BTS using lil nas x, the man they drag for blocking no.1s in 2019 for 19 weeks. Accused of payola and chart manipulation, yeah just like how they do w/ BTS now

StopAsianHate Andrew

Iri bilang Billboard.. Gk bisa artis barat kau kalahkan BTS😜😜😜😜

imagine how many likes comments and share if you post BTS news rather than a common Western artist... That writer needs brain!!!!

Where you debut is where you debut. What is there to discuss 🤔

Love how BTS stans play the race card while they obviously (kinda) cheat to earn the spot. What they're doing is not fighting against racism, they're distracting people from what racism really is

this screams sore loser behaviour

Câm cái mồm

if you wanna mention bts to criticize them and bc youre mad just simply dont mention them.

we need music, music video and lyrics with positive messages. I'm sick of the western music with sexualised concept in music video, the artist it self and even lyrics. BTS offer good vibe, positive message and just good music.

no, thanks

Are you on drugs or something? BTS got this Top Hot 100 fair and square!!! We worked hard buying and streaming because we love BTS. We are real humans and so don’t disregard or disrespect BTS and it’s ARMYS!!! Writing such article makes you look like a loser that you are!!

That one Deputy Editor must lack research skills in how Billboard tracks Hot 100. Was it changed in 2021? Here's a refresher:

Jajajajajajaja SHAME ON YOU !!!!

Lets see. Locals are upset with billboard. So their staff stage a meeting to talk about Lil Nas but the agenda is to discredit BTS so that people become less mad at your broken system that you do not know how to fix? Did i get that right?

what are u tell ?

If u r so scared of BTS then start publishing another chart 'excluding asian artists'. Shame on you. Its 2021 and u r still in 'western supremacy' mode. Ask ur 2 (which is 1 per u) to get a 1 in Asian charts. U guys r sore losers. Sick 🤮

What the hell do u mean wen u say 2 is 1? u have the audacity to publish this nonsense worldwide. Are u writing a fan fic where things happen as per ur imagination? Accept the reality&get out of ur xenobhophic, racist mindset Who has given u d authority to decide who is 1?

B!tch, we'll talk when 875 goes on tour and you'll see who f-ing deserves their 1!!! and should you really be instigating us? the music industry doesnt like it that the audience is taking charge of what they want to listen to! keep crying!

Yes gp like the songs that you forcefully shove down our throats and blast in the radio.

stop underestimating bts, they deserve that position😤

BTS sold out 21 stadiums in North America and Europe in 2018. They sold out wembley twice, one of the only few artists to do so. They did all these even before getting that 1 at BB hot100. How dare that white h*g come at BTS like that. Talentless Andrew f*cking Unterburger

Lo único que va a causar esto es que BTS_twt tenga más semanas en el número 1. Y les va a doler :3

So embarrassing you are...

Apologize to BTS

So unprofessional discrediting a 1 song. ARMY are loyal HUMAN BEINGS who work hard for their group because people like yourselves try to tear down all their achievements made in the western industry. Where is the equal acceptance, the unbiased opinions ARMY need an apology.

Then let's show again to this mf🤙😎

Such a disgusting article.

Ohh such a cry baby you BTS has huge fandom that you can ever imagine and all ORGANIC. Let that sink in.We all are witnessing a historic moment.AMRY are the real fans ,we loveBTS and their music by all our hearts and let me tell you this is just a BEGENNING,Good Luck!

Today, Billboard pretty said with its whole chest that ARMY buying all the music so BTS can have a 1 hurts more than weighing T-shirts, condoms and belt buckles for its charts. Never forget. 🍵

Homie, nauuuuurrrrr. Don’t embarrass urself like that. 2 isn’t the new 1, and for ur information, we will continue buying and streaming the song we want, stay mad lmaooo. U can come back to reality & accept facts, or continue in ur delulu world where 2 is 1

To Andrew; You were never really rooting for me anyway...when am back at the top I wanna hear u say....hey don't run from nothin' dog, get your soldiers tell em that the break is over + coz weee don't need permission to chart.

In the words of Ms Abby Lee Miller, “second is the first to lose”😌

Andrew, ang tanga tanga mo pala.

2 is 2 ya’ll don’t know how to count now?

So how low are you planning to go?

You made me sad

you really think we are dumb to notice it..

shameful

This is basically Colombia media play.. they were trying so hard to put this song at no 1 and Ron Perry said it in his insta story...but it didn't happen..now they are trying to media play it.. BTS leaving Columbia when

tell me how much you got paid for writing this

Cry

Darn those meddling kids who buy music!

Oh how big BTS are, hmmm... They even put an impact to your professionalism... I can smell haters mentality... Triggered baby? We're sorry we just doing our work as a fan, we're rewarding our faves instead of coming after another artist 'cause they're GREAT.

You're setting up yourselves. Thanks for giving us more motivation then. No. 2 will never be no. 1 remember that. You can't give the gold medal to the 2nd place😉

how abt you go fuck yourself 😒

Talaga ba Andrew? Pakyu.

Like really Andrew 🙄! Really stretching your words when what you’re doing is marginalizing TWO GREAT POC ARTISTS.

ban gái thích những gì tôi thấy thích

Supporting an artist needs to stop being a way to insult a group and a Fandom.

Why do you hate BTS so much? How are they threatening your existence or livelihood. So very disrespectful to hardworking musicians. Shame on you.

That's It's to funny, have to come BTS for that you can say this, I want that you remember that the others American Artists make masive buys but no body say nothing Of corse It's because everyboy be so scare about the impact

what without mentioning /BTS you can't get talking about other artists? I want to know where would they be without payola? 1 from the bottom... keep bts out of your filthy mouth

What a nonsense logic of 2 to become 1?!

And why did BB suddenly decide to publish these articles? Xenophobia already hit you ? StopAsianHate

Ya’ll really out here discrediting and downplaying number 1 cos they’re not one of yours? ‘2 is 1’!! LilNasX love you man but you see these guys here handing you the ‘Gold’ by pretending the actual winner doesn’t exist

Oh so since bts is 1 lets exclude that and start the chart conversation from 2... Cool cool cool Another step that shows you'll only crown who u want to irrespective of the merit💜

lo diem aja napa si

I vote MTVHottest BTS ( BTS_twt ) for 2021 MTV Hottest Summer Superstar

Salty

Get a real job.

A 1 is a 1 and a 2 debut is a 2. give it up and stop sabotaging bts yall act like theyre invisible and never treat them as real artists. Why nobody questioned miss olivia being 1 for 8 weeks

Entonces nuestro 4 de ON también era 1 Lo admites al fin O sea ya lo sabíamos pero es lo mismo no Si el 2 es como el 1, fácilmente el 4 es como el 1 Entonces apartir de ahora no se pueden quejar porque los demás artistas aparezcan por debajo del 1, tan bajo

Would you look at that, this person Andrew here certainly doesn't know that having sales means having good music , something whivh the listeners demand and want to hear , and that's why fucking pay for it. Bro , study some Economics i must suggest strongly to you simply. +

wow so you guys have a problem with FANS buying MUSIC but hushing with ARTISTS encouraging VPNs Whatever FIRST is FIRST and when everything is back to normal BTS will be selling out stadiums again

remember when you promoted the racist art of bt5 getting beaten with a grmmy.

how about billboard discussing about how their charts are losing credibility for letting the least popular songs get to 1?
