Billboard writes on the 14th (local time) that "four K-pops for the first time in history are on top of the Billboard Social 50." The groups they have noticed are Bangtan Boys, EXO Wanna One, and GOT7.
Billboard Social 50 charts rank the most popular artists based on data tracked on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Wikipedia.
In this chart, the Bulletproof Boys lead first in 65 weeks with explosive global fandom and social media reactions. EXO recently announced its second place on the charts due to the celebration of the closing ceremony of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
BTS leads the chart with 34.2 million Twitter mentions and 1.3 million YouTube reactions among its biggest drivers, according to Next Big Sound. The K-pop boy band, which has led the Social 50 for 65 weeks in all, celebrated member J-Hope’s solo debut and Suga’s 25th birthday.
