BTS has made it into the ranking of the 500 most-streamed songs of the past decade on Apple Music.

On July 7, the global streaming service Apple Music revealed its list of the 500 most-streamed songs on its platform over the past ten years. Among all K-pop groups, BTS is the only one to appear on the list.

BTS’s track “Dynamite“ comes in at 34th place, while “Butter” ranks 252nd.

Released in 2020, “Dynamite” was the group’s first English-language song. This disco-pop track with its catchy rhythm stands out for its cheerful energy and dynamic performances.

Thanks to “Dynamite,” BTS became the first Korean artist to hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, staying there for three consecutive weeks.

Released in 2021, “Butter“ also made a huge impact, dominating the Billboard Hot 100 for a total of 10 weeks, capturing global attention.

With these two hits, BTS has won numerous awards worldwide and has been nominated two years in a row for the Grammy Awards, one of the three major global music awards.

Also noteworthy in the ranking is the children’s song “Baby shark” by Pinkfong, which ranks 351st, as well as “APT,” a collaboration between ROSE of BLACKPINK and Bruno Mars, which ranks 459th.
