BTS’s ‘Dynamite’ has made it to #346 on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list!
Congratulations to BTS for achieving this feat! 💜
According to Rolling Stone, this is the first time in 17 years where they “completely remade the list of the best songs ever”!
“‘Dynamite’ was “a landmark, hegemony-shattering moment for the world-conquering South Korean group.”

How the List was Made
“Nearly 4,000 songs received votes. Where the 2004 version of the list was dominated by early rock and soul, the new edition contains more hip-hop, modern country, indie rock, Latin pop, reggae, and R&B. More than half the songs here — 254 in all — weren’t present on the old list, including a third of the Top 100. The result is a more expansive, inclusive vision of pop, music that keeps rewriting its history with every beat.”
