BTS Paved the Way! Indeed, BTS is one of the most beloved bands of the 21st century. The seven members have proven their mettle by surpassing Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry, securing the 19th spot as the 19th greatest pop star of the 21st century on Billboard, while Ed and Katy stand at numbers 24 and 25, respectively.

Billboard on BTS:

“No K-pop group — or group in general — has been able to accomplish what Bangtan has this century. From creating a global community to expanding K-pop well outside of its genre and delivering seven successful pop star solo acts, BTS truly paved the way.” pic.twitter.com/YWOYtaPuuf
