BTS Taehyung has three in the top 10 and BlackPink Lisa has two. The two of them make up half of the ranking.
This could be said to be a symbol of how successful BTS and BlackPink have been this year.
This year, as the new coronavirus emerged and threatened people's lives, it seems that a turning point and change occurred in the music that is close to young people around the world.
While we will leave it to experts to analyze what turning point and what change occurred, it is certain that K-POP has joined the rise of the industry.
Until around the mid-2010s, K-POP was known to young people around the world as pop music that combined Western music with dance.
They built fandoms all over the world through flash mobs that covered dances.
However, on a global scale, their popularity was limited to a small minority.
Although their popularity spread throughout Asia, they did not have a single song that made it onto the Billboard main chart.
Since 2015, with the emergence of groups such as BTS and BLACKPINK, K-POP has gradually begun to shake off the image of Asian pop music.
Even before 2015, boy bands such as BIGBANG and girl bands such as 2NE1 began to release rock music that was too good to be just for fun and dancing in flash mobs.
However, they lacked the absolute driving force of their fans to make it onto the Billboard main chart.
They were unable to make it onto the main chart, and only made it onto the charts that were ranked.
Many male and female groups began to head to America with highly skilled dance music, but they simply lacked the power to make it onto the US alone.
Groups began to do small-scale tours, but they lacked the power to go on a full-scale world tour.
Time passed and in 2016, BTS made a comeback with their title song "Blood Sweat and Tears," and they were serious about the world stage.
"Go for it!" Their passion was apparent as they headed to America with a one-way ticket for the tour.
That energy manifested itself in an energetic performance at the actual concert.
The fans who attended were moved by BTS' powerful stage.
It was only natural that the venue was filled with the cheers and enthusiasm of the fans.
Even if you didn't go to see it, the fact that BTS' world tours are getting bigger every year is proof of this.
In other words, the third wave of K-POP was formed by the popularity and passion of BTS, TWICE, BLACKPINK, and others, but it was the achievement of BTS, who led the tour, to push it into the global wave.
After that, BTS continued their world tours in 2017, 2018, and 2019, and secured the status of global star.
How far BTS has come in these past few years can be symbolized by their appearance in the New Year's Eve live show "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2020 (viewed by 25 million people)" in Times Square (New York).
BTS entered 2020 with the status of world star, and it was almost guaranteed that they would be successful this year.
After the new year, COVID-19 hit, and K-POP faced a fateful crisis.
If it were the heyday of records, or even CDs, even if there were boys as successful as BTS, K-POP, which cannot tour, would have lost fans all over the world in an instant.
However, K-POP survived thanks to social media.
In fact, the competition has become all about social media, which has actually become an opportunity for K-POP. This is because K-POP has been able to actively appeal not only to vocal ability and singing voices, but also to the appeal of dance (performance) music through social media.
BTS was also one to take on this battle.
As COVID-19 struck, BTS made a comeback with the energetic dance song "ON."
This was due to the strength of their music in fighting COVID-19.
Taehyung has two spots on the ranking above, while Jungkook and Jimin have each.
Is this a coincidence?
If it is not a coincidence, then "Dynamite," the big summer hit, could be said to be a song that reflects the desperate fight against COVID-19 shown in "ON."
The fight is a long one.
Let's fight without giving up or giving up.
"Dynamite" has a brightness and energy that seems to pierce the sky.
BlackPink's music "How You Like That" was also a big hit.
It sparked tremendous popularity.
My top three songs of the year are "ON," "How You Like That," and "Dynamite."
This year, K-pop seems to have drawn fans who never paid any attention to K-pop before into its fanbase.
The entry point to this was probably BTS' comeback song "ON."
The stage was rented out for the New York City train station, and the live performance was broadcast to the world.
I wonder how many people around the world watched this?
I waited a while to watch it, but if you count the total number of people who watched it, tens of millions of people must have seen their performance.
The reason for "How You Like That" is similar.
I watched it on YouTube, and the music video for this song was gaining views at an incredible rate.
"Dynamite" is easy to remember and catchy.
I think it's only BTS that can make such a simple and easy-to-understand song a hit.
