BTS Just Earned A Major Billboard Honor & Fans On Twitter Are So Thrilled

2017 has been a major breakout year for the band BTS. On Monday, Dec. 11, BTS was named a Billboard Top 10 artist in the charts' year-end list for 2017 and the band's fans are truly overjoyed. The K-pop band was ranked as the No. 10 artist of the year, behind Ed Sheeran (the top artist), Bruno Mars, and Drake. Billboard also ranked BTS as the No. 2 artist in the Top Artist - Duo/Group category, right below The Chainsmokers (the top group). The popstar band was the top No. 1 artist on the Social 50 year-end chart, beating out Ariana Grane (at No. 2), Justin Bieber (at No. 3), and Shawn Mendes (at No. 4). BTS also ranked as No. 32 in the Independent Albums category.

It's a huge accomplishment for BTS, who recently made K-pop history as the first band in the genre to earn a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 list. The South Korean band's hit single "MIC Drop" debuted on the Hot 100 list at No. 28 last week. BTS also dazzled viewers of the American Music Awards with a show-stopping performance of the song in American live-performance debut on Nov. 19 and they performed "MIC Drop" on the popular Ellen DeGeneres Show on Nov. 27. But the pop stars made a splash earlier this year as well — in May, BTS won Top Social Star at the Billboard Music Awards thanks to the support of their passionate fans, known as the BTS Army. On Dec. 7, Billboard named BTS the most tweeted about artist in 2017.
