BTS and BLACKPINK had the same headstart on the US charts

Also personally I think BTS would have gotten their #1 with or without CR, and I'm sure CR wanted to be on the winning side. Regardless of whether CR gives similar support with their next release, I think BTS will have another #1 as long as they aren't up against a viral hi

I agree. Sure it would have sucked to get bad playlisting and no radio but sales were driven by fans and they were the reason it managed to get above WaP. Not to mention BTS has never done a highly promoted single before so fans could focus on streaming and buying a single track as opposed to an whole album. If the week they release is like a period in May-July when the top song had like 350 points then I really believe that they can do it again .
