Big Hit Music

In a fitting tribute to a decade of extraordinary success and ground-breaking music, BTS, the South Korean superband, has unveiled its latest digital single "Take Two." The song has made an impressive entry on Billboard's Hot 100, debuting at No. 48. Released on June 9, the single marks a milestone in the group's career, celebrating their 10th anniversary while reinforcing their enduring global influence.

The band's latest achievement does not stand alone. The single also ascended to the top of several other prestigious charts, including the Billboard 200 and Billboard Global excl. US. This achievement reaffirms BTS's extraordinary ability to transcend borders and cultures with their music.

The septet's presence on Billboard's main albums chart isn't new. About a year ago, their music lit up the charts with "Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)", a leading track from their anthology album "Proof." The song not only debuted at an impressive No. 13 on the Billboard 200 but also demonstrated the band's lasting power. The album maintained its position on the chart for an impressive 41 consecutive weeks, a testament to the band's enduring appeal.

However, the accomplishments of BTS are not confined to their collective effort. The members - Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook - have all individually secured spots on Billboard's Hot 100. This record-breaking achievement is yet another addition to their long list of firsts in K-pop history.

In April, for instance, Jimin became the first solo artist from the genre to top the chart. His song, "Like Crazy," the leading track from the EP "Face," etched his name at the summit. This individual accomplishment underlines the immense talent within the group, with each member capable of creating their own significant imprint on the music scene.

A decade since their debut, BTS continues to break new ground and set higher standards for K-pop and the global music industry. As they celebrate their 10th anniversary, it's clear that their musical journey, far from reaching its peak, still has many more milestones to cross. The continued success of their music, both as a group and as solo artists, indicates that BTS will remain a formidable force on the global stage for years to come.
