Friday at 15:145 days Author 34 | 25 | 5th weekBTSSWIM1st single from ARIRANGReleased: 20th March 2026Label: BIGHIT MUSICChart StatisticsNE (02/04/2026) | 2-5-18-25-34Sales: 100,000+Certification: -Status: Standard Chart Ratio01 Sales27 Audio Streaming02 Video StreamingVideoBiographyCalling BTS a boy band is a little like calling a computer a typewriter with a screen. Yes, they sing. Yes, they dance. Yes, they have cool haircuts and their outfits always match in an interesting way. But they also represent the power of pop music—simple, catchy pop music—as a force for social transformation, touching on subjects—mental health, LGBTQ identity, class inequity—taboo not just in their native South Korea but in the sunshine-and-rainbows world of mass-market culture generally. The official name of their fans (the ARMY), is an acronym for “Adorable Representative MC for Youth”. But the subtext is clear: These are people willing to fight for what they believe. Formed in 2010 by K-pop impresario Bang Si-hyuk, 방탄소년단 (or Bangtan Sonyeondan), aka BTS—members V, j-hope, RM, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook and SUGA—swiftly became not only one of the biggest groups in South Korea (and eventually the best-selling artists in the country’s history), but an emblem for K-pop’s migration into mainstream global pop—a feat made even more impressive by the fact that the band sing almost entirely in Korean. More than just developing a brand, BTS crafted a rich, reference-heavy alternate universe that invoked things like Jungian psychoanalysis and Nietzschean philosophy—not your most bankable teen-pop references. (The video to their 2016 track “Blood Sweat & Tears” is, if not the only music video in history to feature both a coordinated dance routine and a quote from the Hermann Hesse novel Demian, certainly the only one to have been watched more than half a billion times.) But for as dense as the band’s mythology can get, their presence remains simple, clear and uplifting. In 2017, they partnered with UNICEF in a campaign to protect young people from violence; the next year, their fans raised over $1 million in an effort to alleviate childhood malnutrition. SUGA once promised that if he got rich, he would buy his fans beef—a luxury in Korea. On his 25th birthday, he donated nearly $20,000 of it to orphanages. And he did it in ARMY’s name. - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart History2017 90 DNA -1-2017 43 MIC Drop (feat. Desiigner) -2-2018 42 FAKE LOVE -1-2018 21 IDOL -1-2018 57 Waste It On Me (Steve Aoki feat.

ANOTR released numerous EPs and singles, including 2017's Help and 2020's Retpoid Meetings, before making their full-length debut with 2022's The Reset.

Born Kisean Paul Anderson in 1990, he's the grandson of Burning Spear and Bob Marley producer Jack Ruby, and he spent a tough upbringing (it included homelessness and some tangles with the law) moving between Miami and Kingston, Jamaica. Life changed, however, when he uploaded music that attracted the attention of producer Jonathan "J.R." Rotem (Destiny’s Child, 50 Cent, Rihanna). And though his first single on Rotem's Beluga Heights label was a remake of Ice-T’s gang-life anthem "Colors," he broke through with 2007's twinkling “Beautiful Girls,” which ensconced itself in the No. 1 spot of the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks straight. The song capitalized on a combination of melodious, island-friendly vibes, a recognizable sample (Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me”), and an irresistible sing-along chorus whose message was, improbably, all about pain. That year's self-titled debut album showed an uncommon versatility that enabled Kingston to spit hood tales one moment and sing syrupy pop songs the next. He burrowed deeper into the pop canon with 2009's thumping, RedOne-produced "Fire Burning" and the likewise dance-floor-filling Justin Bieber collab “Eenie Meenie.” After surviving a devastating jet-ski crash, he released 2013's Back 2 Life and continued to drop singles including 2019's sunny “Peace of Mind,” with DaVido and Tory Lanez—further proof that as pop has opened its arms ever wider to the rhythms and warmth of Caribbean sounds, Kingston's been right there to receive that embrace. - Apple MusicJustin BieberThere’s a moment in a 2020 interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe where Justin Bieber begins—quietly, hesitantly—to cry. “It was hard for me being that young and being in the industry, and not knowing where to turn, and everyone telling me they love me, and just turning their back on you in a second,” Bieber says, each clause kicking up memories like dust. The point isn’t to weep with or for him—he’s had more dreams come true in his first 25 years than most people manage in a lifetime. But he’s also one of the few pop stars of his generation to have truly grown up in public, weathering the cable newsification of celebrity culture in the internet era while still trying to develop as both an artist and a person. Even early on, you could tell he had his eye on the future, balancing a doe-eyed wholesomeness with earnest attempts at hip-hop and R&B, material that suited him as a kid with material that reflected his growth into adolescence and adulthood. Some teen-pop singers end up trapped in amber; Justin Bieber has, knocks and all, kept swimming. Born in London, Ontario, in 1994, Bieber was famously discovered when his future manager, Scooter Braun, stumbled on some performance videos that Bieber’s mom had uploaded to YouTube to share with family and friends. Braun, who understood not only Bieber’s appeal but the potential of the internet, encouraged him to keep making videos and keep the equipment cheap—an approach that not only helped Bieber’s growing fanbase to understand that he was still just a kid like them, but drafted a new blueprint for how artists could reach audiences in the digital era. With the exception of a voice change around 2011, 2009’s My World, 2010’s My World 2.0, and 2012’s Believe are more or less of a piece: the sound of a boy trying to stick the landing into puberty. Released in 2015, Purpose showed Bieber developing a more thoughtful connection to his material, including collaborations with vanguard pop producers like Diplo, Skrillex, and Benny Blanco. After a five-year break during which Bieber underwent significant personal changes—including a detox from touring life, a diagnosis of Lyme disease, and a epiphanic marriage to Hailey Baldwin—he came back with 2020’s Changes. “People have been putting me on a pedestal,” Bieber told Apple Music. "I didn’t ask for that. Obviously I love making music, but there are a lot of people that love making music and they’re not in the position that I’m in. I’m just trying to steward that wisely, steward my relationship wisely. I want people to take a look at my story—hopefully, my words can make a difference.” - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart HistorySean Kingston2007 01 Beautiful Girls -1- MILLIONAIRE2007 32 Me Love -2-2008 47 Take You There -3-2008 20 Love Like This (Natasha Bedingfield feat.

"Caroline," the viral hit that helped the singer/songwriter escalate from indie status to a major label while he was still in his teens, relied on cinematic vistas and rolling harmonies as much as his dramatic vocals. By the time he released the EP In Another Life in 2023, Sombr was collaborating with Tony Berg -- a producer known for his work with Phoebe Bridgers and Michael Penn -- and opening up his music in ways he continued to explore on the 2024 single "In Your Arms" and his 2025 Top 40 hit "Undressed." After landing another Top 40 hit with "Back to Friends," he made his full-length debut in 2025 with the breakup-themed I Barely Know Her. - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart History2025 07 back to friends -1- MILLIONAIRE2025 04 undressed -2- MILLIONAIRE2025 37 we never dated -3-2025 07 12 to 12 -4-2026 04 Homewrecker -1-2026 31 Potential -2-0 x #1 | 2 x Top 5 | 4 x Top 10 | 4 x Top 20 | 6 x Top 40 | 6 x Top 100Social Media sombr
