BTS’ Single ‘Dynamite’ Tops Billboard Hot 100

BTS makes history as the first all-South Korean act to top the Billboard Hot 100 with the single “Dynamite”.

The seven-member group previously reached #4 on the charts with their single “On”. This time around they came out swinging and debuted at #1. “Dynamite” is sung entirely in English and is reminiscent of a hit Bruno Mars song.

We reviewed the music video on our weekly New Music Videos w/ Dash show on Twitch & we had a blast watching the colorful video.

The song was premiered alongside the video and BTW cleverly also created a “B-Side” video which collectively the two videos have amassed over 300 million views on YouTube in a weeks time.

Dash Radio has been a supporter of K-Pop for years as we partnered with YG to launch YG Presents, a station dedicated to K-Pop hits. Thanks to BTS success we are now seeing K-Pop essentially transform into general Pop.

The success of “Dynamite” will have a long-lasting impact on US charts as we will surely see more and more international hits dominate our charts. Regardless of the group’s origin, BTS is giving us exactly what the world needs right now, great music.

Congrats to the group, we will definitely be playing “Dynamite” on all of our Pop & Hits stations!
