Over the past decade, the artist who has topped the US Billboard main singles chart 'Hot 100' the most is confirmed to be BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan).


Billboard recently announced through its official social media that BTS has had six songs reach number one on the 'Hot 100' in the last 10 years. These include "Dynamite," the remix version of "Savage Love," "Life Goes On," "Butter," "Permission to Dance," and "My Universe."


This achievement surpasses that of top American artists such as Drake, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Justin Bieber. Notably, five of these songs debuted at number one on the 'Hot 100' chart. The 'Hot 100' is Billboard's main chart that ranks singles based on a combination of streaming, radio airplay, and digital sales.


The secret to BTS's exceptional consistency and continuity is often attributed to their flexibility and adaptability. In their early days, they featured strong beats and rough performances with street hip-hop elements. After turning their eyes to the global stage, they embraced various genres such as pop and R&B. Adding lyrics that convey comfort and courage, they also deliver artistic healing.



Currently, with member Jin's military enlistment approaching, BTS is focusing more on individual member activities rather than group activities. However, their strength in the global music market remains strong. Their anthology album "Proof" has charted for 20 consecutive weeks, reaching number 52 on Billboard's main album chart, the 'Billboard 200.' The album is also performing well on other charts, ranking third on the 'World Albums,' 24th on 'Top Current Album Sales,' and 28th on 'Top Album Sales.'
