South Korean boy band BTS is now going places that very few bands have achieved. K-pop band has now claimed the No.1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The lead single Life Goes On from their recently released album BE (Deluxe edition) featured at the top spot on the chart.
Back in September, the South Korean band released the single Dynamite, from the album BE, reached the No.1 spot earning their first lead in the process. The song was band’s first full-length English single.
According to Billboard, BTS is the first group to have two No 1 Hot 100 debut songs. While other five songs from the eight-track album ‘BE’ also found their place on the Hot 100 chart with “Blue & Grey” on No.13, “Stay” on No.22, “Fly To My Room” on No 69, followed by “Telepathy” on No. 70 and “Dis-ease” on No 72.
