Last year, the кσяєαn Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism released a list of the most popular K-Pop artists in the world after a large-scale survey. Netizens don't seem to be surprised when BTS tops this list.

BTS's reputation is not limited to кσяєα or Asia but is recognized worldwide, especially in a difficult market like the US. Even non-fans must know one or a few of BTS's imprints on the world music map in the past decade.

Not only that, on May 10, after Jungkook set a new Guinness record for streams on Spotify, a post proved that BTS is completely different from the rest of K-pop. OP gave just one metric, but it seems to reflect the entirety of what's happening in K-pop right now, claiming BTS's top spot:

Starting their career in 2013, after 10 years, BTS has now become the number 1 Kpop star and even the top superstar in the world. Asia's leading music industry can create hundreds of new groups every year, but to create a second BTS, seems impossible.

That is somєthing that all fans and non-fans have to admit when looking back at the group's achievements and influence. In particular, recently, netizens have been discussing with each other about the evidence that BTS has amazing power in relation to other K-pop artists.

Specifically, a post has become a hot topic on Pann when it shows that BTS is the most streamed K-Pop artist on Spotify. Not only that, to concretize BTS's huge stream, OP also cited that BLACKPINK is the group that gets more streams than all other female artists combined, but even BLACKPINK can't compare to BTS.

This post quickly caught the attention of many other fans who also made similar comments:

- BTS is the only group that is famous internationally in the first place. When you're in the states and if you hear a K-pop song 90% of the time it's going to be a BTS song.

- I cackle every time I see someone claiming a nugu boy group surpäṩṩed BTS.

- You have to give it to BTS. They are undoubtedly the top group.

- I'm more intrigued how SUGA has his own share lol

- I thought this was common knowledge. I mean BTS have never left the top 10 Spotify global daily artist list. Their streams are on par with mainstream western artists. Let’s be honest there most likely will never be another кσяєαn artist as successful and popular as BTS. Anyone who says otherwise is just fooling themselves or believing in media play.

- BTS is recognized around the world these days. I don’t get why people keep insisting on making comparisons between boys and girls groups. They’re totally different. Choreography alone is more complicated for boys. When you compare a girl group to BTS, the difference is out of this world. BTS choreography is one of the best in the entertainment industry worldwide. Their vocals while dancing are pretty good & when they sing only, beautiful. They create or help create their own songs. Their charisma and communication with their fans are the best I have ever seen worldwide as well. There’s only one BTS and there’s no comparison.

- I'd say this is a no-brainer even without having to look at a share breakdown. No offense to any other group, but this one is pretty obvious.

- Everybody has there own era.. And I think bts are lucky compared to big bang and exo because during exo and big bang era most of us don't have our own phones and YouTube are not that popular And bts and exo debut gap are not that much even with all of that they achieved a lot... So,I don't think they have the right to compare and looks down on other artist...

- Why is this still up for debate? BTS are living legends. Nothing will ever change my opinion on this.

- They started from the bottom and worked their way to the top! They have accomplished so much I remember watching them on their road trips on TV when they first debuted. I am so happy for them!

- BTS 7 of them are humble down to earth boys Since the day they started in a small company till now they remain the same That's why I loved them Please don't change (7 of them)

- Absolutely so true indeed but well said. They are worked so extremely hard to put altogether after years of hardship and dedication and there's no other way to stop them. They're still remains one of the best

- And they are CORRECT. BTS is in their own level. They sell out stadiums easily. Wherever they go to perform they turn those cities into a festival. Cities turning purple, bts everywhere! They have fans flying from all over the world to see them. BTS are what actual demands looks like!
