BTS makes history as Life Goes On becomes the 1st Korean song to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart | Bollywood Life

Is there a pop group on a bigger high at the moment than BTS? In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that few bands in history have seen a bigger soar in success and popularity than BTS is enjoying at the moment. After multiple victories at the People’s Choice Awards and then being nominated at the Grammy Awards, BTS has now delivered a no. 1 chartbuster at the Billboard Hot 100. Their latest song, Life Goes On, has topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the first Korean single to ever achieve the feat.

This follows the no. 1 debut of their other recent release, Dynamite, on the Billboard 200, to go along with their no. 1 debut of their fifth full album, Map Of The Soul: 7, giving them the unique distinction of being the only act in history beside Taylor Swift to debut both a song and album at no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 200 charts. Making several announcements of the accolades that K-pop band BTS have piled on, Billboard posted several tweets from the official handle.
