Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century: No. 19 — BTS


BTS is our No. 19 Greatest Pop Star of the 21st century for how the group took South Korean pop music to new global heights.

The group has broken through ceilings for boy bands, K-pop and South Korean artists in general, all while creating a meaningful community that is continually inspired by BTS’ message of positivity, love and connection. To get to know them as great singers, take note of V’s chilling vocals on “Spring Day,” Jimin’s sweet sensuality on “Serendipity,” Jin’s flawless belting on “Let Go,” or Jung Kook’s effortless falsetto on “Euphoria”. Meanwhile, even as they’ve become global pop crossover stars, the BTS members have continued to stay true to their hip-hop roots – as seen as recently as RM’s new feature on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Never Play” this September.
