BTS has been ranked No. 6 on Billboard's Greatest Pop Stars of 2021! This is BTS’s second time being recognized on the list after being named Greatest Pop Star of 2020 earlier this year.

Billboard highlighted some of BTS’s many achievements throughout the year including being nominated and winning Artist of the Year at the AMAs for the first time. BTS also made history with their smash-hit “Butter” and their sold-out SoFi Stadium concerts were the highest-grossing engagement in nearly a decade.

Congratulations BTS on all your achievements!

The group remained a steady presence atop the Billboard charts in 2021, while continuing to redefine what pop music means on a global scale.
