BTS over the past decade has had the most No. 1 songs on Billboard’s main singles chart Hot 100 of any artist worldwide.

The boy band’s management agency Big Hit Music on Nov. 7 said Billboard posted on its official social media that the group had the most No. 1 hits on this chart over the last 10 years.

Six BTS songs — “Dynamite,” a remix of “Savage Love,” “Life Goes On,” “Butter,” “Permission to Dance” and “My Universe” — made it to the Hot 100.

Second to BTS was Drake with five, followed by Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift in a tie for third with four each and Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj tied for fifth with three each.

BTS members are now working on individual projects rather than as a group, but continue to show good performance on the global music market.

Their anthology album “Proof” is 52nd this week on the Billboard 200 album chart in its 20th consecutive week on the chart.

“Proof” also placed third on the Billboard chart for World Albums, 24th in Top Current Album Sales and 28th in Top Album Sales.
