BTS, Blackpink, NewJeans among most streamed K-pop acts on Spotify for 2023
Korean supergroups BTS and Blackpink as well as rookie sensation NewJeans dominated the list of most-streamed K-pop artists and songs on Spotify for 2023.
In a press release, the streaming giant recently announced the following as the top K-pop artists on the platform this year:
BTS remained at the top of the rankings despite its pause from group activities while the members focus on their solo careers and mandatory military service.
Even while on hiatus, the seven-piece act still put out "The Planet," a soundtrack for the animated series "Bastions," in May and its 10-year anniversary song "Take Two" in June.
BTS members Jungkook, Jimin, V, Suga and J-Hope — who all dropped solo releases this year — also entered the list.
