The Bangtan Boys aka BTS has garnered another achievement as they hit the top five on a Billboard radio airplay chart for the first time with their super hit single Dynamite. As reported by Billboard, Dynamite, the first entire English language song by the K-pop group rose on the position when the Pop Songs radio chart disclosed its updated list on Tuesday, December 15. This music chart is reportedly considered one of the main radio airplay charts of Billboard which is streamed across 160 mainstream radio stations.
This is the first time ever when the septet’s song made it to the fifth position on the airplay chart. This also marks the highest ranking achieved by a Korean artist. Previously, rapper Psy’s hit single Gangnam Style achieved the same popularity when it finished at the 10th position back in the year 2012. Now, the all-boy K-pop band has even broken his record by landing in the top 5 songs of the chart.
