What's the story
The globally acclaimed K-pop group, BTS, has once again topped the Spotify Wrapped list as the most-streamed K-pop act worldwide.
The announcement was made on Wednesday (IST), continuing their unbeaten streak since 2018.
Although they have not released a new album since Proof in 2022, BTS continues to break records, with individual tracks like Seven, Who, and Standing Next To You from its members featuring prominently on the charts.
Streaming milestones
BTS's record-breaking streaming success on Spotify
BTS has set yet another record as the only Asian act with 100 songs each crossing 100 million streams. The achievement puts them in the same league as global artists like Drake and Bad Bunny.
Further, three of their albums, including Love Yourself: Tear, have all tracks with over 100 million streams—an honor they share with The Weeknd.
Despite their ongoing hiatus (members fulfilling mandatory military service), BTS continues to rule the music scene.

Jungkook's songs Seven and Standing Next To You ranked 28th and 34th respectively, making him the first Asian soloist with multiple songs on the Spotify Wrapped List.
