MUMBAI: From winning 4 MTV VMAs to now achieving its first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
BTS just blast in at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart with its first all-English-language single, “Dynamite”. BTS, which comprises members J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Suga and V, is additionally the first all-South Korean group to lead the Hot 100.
The success of “Dynamite” is nothing short of a paradigm shift for the way Western listeners regard non-Western artists.
