The Korean boyband, BTS is no stranger to breaking records but their debut at Billboard Hot 100 with their new song Life Goes On, has even made their loyal ARMY overwhelmed with joy.
Life Goes On has grabbed the number one spot in the Hot 100 chart, making BTS the first and only group in history with multiple No. 1 debuts on the Hot 100. Previously, Dynamite was their first song to debut on the global chart and remained at No.1 for three weeks.
Life Goes On marks the first song performed primarily in Korean to top the Hot 100 in Billboard’s history, and the first non-English song in any language to debut atop the chart. BTS and Ariana Grande are the only acts with three No. 1 songs on the Hot 100 this year.
