Here’s the thing, though: “Butter” is not the most popular song in America right now. (“Gangnam Style,” which peaked at #2 in the period just before Billboard used YouTube streams to figure out the charts, got robbed.) In the process, it became the first Korean-language single ever to top the Hot 100. A couple of months after that, BTS released the breezy midtempo ballad “Life Goes On,” and that debuted at #1, too. When BTS showed up on the remix, the song went straight to #1. That song, which has a complicated history of its own, was hanging out in the lower rungs of the top 10 for a while. In October, members of the group jumped on “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat),” a TikTok-driven hit from the young New Zealand producer Jawsh 685 and the fading American dance-pop singer Jason Derulo. Since last September, BTS have notched up three more #1 hits. It got actual pop-radio airplay, something that had previously evaded BTS. The song occupied that slot for three weeks. “Dynamite” came out in August of 2020, and it promptly debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first K-pop single ever to scale those heights. BTS and their handlers delivered a piece of product designed to attract as many consumers as possible into their whole thing. “Dynamite,” written and produced by British pop-industry professionals, is a perfectly OK example of sunshine-drenched, Bruno Marsian quasi-disco. Then they went ahead and pulled a crossover move anyway. Instead, they brought everyone else into their world. They didn’t need to pull crossover moves. In America, BTS could sell out stadiums and land top-10 singles while only sprinkling occasional English into their records. They were (and are) huge everywhere, and their rise mirrored the trajectories of Spanish-language urbano stars like Bad Bunny and J Balvin. BTS weren’t simply huge in Korea or even Asia. At the time, BTS represented a radical decentering of the global pop system: A leviathan-level success story in which the principal figures come from outside the anglophone pop system to capture the hearts of millions of people around the world. Up until the moment that they announced “Dynamite,” the members of BTS had said that they didn’t plan to record in English. 2020 release, "How You Like That," peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it BLACKPINK's fifth song to do so.About nine months ago, the phenomenally successful South Korean boy band BTS released “ Dynamite,” their first-ever English-language single.
