BTS
BTS have jumped up to #1 on Billboard's 'Artist 100' for the week of June 2nd, up from #4 last week!

It's the first time any K-pop act has hit #1 on the chart, and the highest for any K-pop star. Not only so, but according to Billboard, it's the first time for any act "that records primarily in a language other than English" to top the 'Artist 100' chart since the chart's installation. 

Congratulations to BTS!
