In addition to BTS’ achievements, Hybe’s Japanese boy band &TEAM has made its presence known on the Billboard 200 by debuting at No. 52 with their album “We On Fire.” This marks an exciting moment for the band as they enter the prestigious chart for the first time, showcasing their potential and talent to a wider audience.
Moreover, the collaboration between Australian psychedelic rock project Tame Impala and Blackpink’s Jennie on the song “Dracula” has also gained recognition on the Hot 100 chart, securing the 25th spot. This collaboration highlights the global reach and impact of K-pop artists and their ability to transcend geographical boundaries with their music.
