[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] K-pop group BTS became the first Korean artist to top the Billboard main singles chart, the 'Hot 100.'

On the 31st (local time), Billboard announced that BTS's "Dynamite," sung entirely in English, debuted at number one on the latest Hot 100 chart. The Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the most popular songs in the United States each week.

The highest position BTS had previously achieved on the Hot 100 was 4th place with the title track "ON" from their fourth full-length album released in February this year.

Earlier, singer Psy had held the 2nd position for seven consecutive weeks on the Hot 100 in 2012 with "Gangnam Style," but never reached number one.

BTS has already topped the album chart, the 'Billboard 200,' four times.
