BTS is one of the most successful acts in Billboard chart history.
Dating to the South Korean septet’s first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2017, with “DNA,” the group has charted over two dozen songs. Of those, 10 have reached the top 10 and six have gone all the way to No. 1: “Dynamite” (three weeks at the summit in 2020); “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat),” with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo (one week, 2020); “Life Goes On” (one week, 2020); “Butter” (10 weeks, 2021); “Permission To Dance” (one week, 2021); and “My Universe,” with Coldplay (one week, 2021).
Outside the group, all seven BTS members have embarked on solo careers – and scored solo Hot 100 hits. Two — Jimin and Jung Kook — have even achieved solo No. 1s, with “Like Crazy” and “Seven” (featuring Latto), respectively.
J-Hope became the first BTS member to notch a solo Hot 100 entry when “Chicken Noodle Soup,” featuring Becky G, debuted and peaked at No. 81 in October 2019. SUGA was next (under his Agust D moniker), with “Daechwita” in 2020, followed by V (“Christmas Tree,” January 2022), Jung Kook (“Stay Alive,” February 2022), JIN (“The Astronaut,” November 2022), RM (“Wild Flower,” with Youjeen, December 2022) and Jimin (“Vibe,” with TAEYANG, January 2023).
