February 21, 20206 yr Next week's contender? BTS ON 1st single from MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 Released: 21st February 2020 Label: BigHit Entertainment Video gwMa6gpoE9I Biography BTS (Korean: 방탄소년단; RR: Bangtan Sonyeondan), also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed in Seoul in 2013. The septet co-writes and produces much of their output. Originally a hip hop group, their musical style has evolved to include a wide range of genres. Their lyrics, often focused on personal and social commentary, touch on the themes of mental health, troubles of school-age youth, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism. Their work features references to literature and psychological concepts and includes an alternative universe storyline. The group have staged several world tours. The group initially formed as teenagers under Big Hit Entertainment and released their debut single album, 2 Cool 4 Skool (2013). Subsequent work such as their first U.S. Billboard 200 entries The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 2 (2015), The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever (2016), and Wings (2016) helped establish BTS' reputation as a socially conscious group. Wings became BTS' first album to sell one million copies in South Korea. By 2017, BTS crossed into the international music market, leading the Korean Wave into the United States and breaking numerous sales records, becoming the first Korean group to receive a certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for their single "Mic Drop". The band is the first Korean act to top the Billboard 200 with their studio album Love Yourself: Tear (2018) and have since hit the top of the U.S. charts with their albums Love Yourself: Answer (2018) and Map of the Soul: Persona (2019), making BTS the first group since the Beatles to earn three number one albums in less than a year. Love Yourself: Answer also broke South Korea's Gaon Album Chart's all-time monthly record previously set by Love Yourself: Tear and became the first Korean album certified Gold in the United States. According to the Gaon Music Chart, BTS has sold sixteen million albums domestically in physical sales and is the best-selling artist to debut in the 2010s. They hold the best-selling album in Korean history with Map of the Soul: Persona. BTS were the second best-selling artists of 2018 worldwide according to the IFPI's Global Artist Chart, as well as the only non-English speaking artist to enter the chart. The group has won Top Social Artist three years in a row and Top Duo/Group at the 26th Billboard Music Awards. Featured on Time's international cover as "Next Generation Leaders", BTS has appeared in the magazine's 25 most influential people on the internet (2017–2019) and Time's 100 most influential people in the world (2019). Forbes Korea named BTS the most influential celebrities of Korea in 2018, and BTS ranked 43rd in the Forbes Celebrity 100 (2019) as one of the world's top-earning celebrities. BTS are ranked #4 of Billboard's Top Social Artist of the 2010s, and are the highest group on the list. During their Love Yourself World Tour, BTS became the first Asian and first non-English speaking act to headline and sell out Wembley Stadium; and broke the record for the single highest-grossing engagement in Rose Bowl Stadium history. Billboard ranked BTS at #45 on their Top Touring Artists of the 2010s list, being the highest-ranked Asian as well as the only non-English speaking act on the list. As of 2019, BTS are purportedly worth more than $4.65 billion to South Korea's economy each year, or 0.3 percent of the country's GDP. BTS attracted one in every 13 foreign tourists that visited South Korea and were cited as one of the key acts boosting global music sales to $19 billion in 2018. Following the establishment of their Love Myself anti-violence campaign in partnership with UNICEF, BTS addressed the United Nations 73rd General Assembly and became the youngest ever recipients of the Order of Cultural Merit from the President of South Korea due to their contributions in spreading Korean culture and language. - iTunes Top 100 Chart History 2017 90 DNA -1- 2017 43 MIC Drop (feat.

February 21, 20206 yr 2 Tame Impala tracks in the Top 100 <3 There are three! Breathe Deeper at #59, Borderline at #78 and Lost In Yesterday at #89!
February 21, 20206 yr There are three! Breathe Deeper at #59, Borderline at #78 and Lost In Yesterday at #89! Oh, right. Didn't notice Borderline oops. Fabulous
February 21, 20206 yr Just realised that React had a rather big fall out of the Top 40 this week. :( It's a smaller fall than most people would've expected, and quite frankly, its second week is higher than I thought its first week would be...!
February 23, 20206 yr Cant say ive ever heard of New Hope Club. With a name like that i thought they might be indie band I've never heard of them but just looking at them they look like a typical Vamps style Boyband
February 23, 20206 yr Does seem a bit like it'll go down as a non-#1, and those are quite rare these days! Not really proving it was worthy of winning that #1 battle with such a small margin too. He will fall much quicker than most other current artists because streamers will more likely listen to artists like Lewis/Billie Eilish but he's done just fine for an artist in his 4th decade of relevancy and has another no1 to his name. Still doing 300k streams daily onspotify which ain't bad!
February 23, 20206 yr I've never heard of them but just looking at them they look like a typical Vamps style Boyband They are signed to The Vamps' label funnily enough!
