BTS have now charted eight hits on the Pop Airplay ranking, one more than all other K-pop acts combined.
charts, including a handful of radio-only lists. The cut was clearly welcomed warmly by radio programmers and DJs across the U.S., as it opens at No. 33 on the 40-rung Pop Airplay tally, which ranks the tunes that reach the largest audience at pop radio.
With another career placement included in their discography, BTS have now sent more tunes to the Pop Airplay chart than all other South Korean musicians in history, proving that they are still far and away the most successful musical act from that part of the world on the American ranking. BTS have now landed on the Pop Airplay chart with eight tracks. On their own, they’ve charted with “Dynamite,” “Butter” and “Fake Love,” but most of their wins have included another act in one way or another. They serve as joint lead stars with Coldplay on “My Universe,” and they’ve fronted singles that benefited from the presence of other artists, such as Halsey , Lauv and Desiigner .
In the past several years, a number of beloved South Korean solo musicians and groups have made history by appearing on the Pop Airplay chart, and all their collective wins are quickly adding up. Fellow K-pop acts Blackpink , Loona , Suga , Psy and Tomorrow X Together have all found themselves on the list once. Monsta X remains the only other South Korean name aside from BTS to chart more than one single on the list, as the band has already pushed two cuts to the ranking.
At this point, BTS are well-known by those who choose what new tracks are put into rotation, so it’s easier for them to collect quick radio hits in America. They have a proven track record of producing tunes the public can’t stop listening to, and thus DJs are more willing to press play on their latest offerings. Other South Korean musicians still have to prove their popularity in the U.S.
