What does it mean that 'Dynamite' was the song to put BTS over the top on the Hot100? And how big will it remain from here? Experts answer these questions and more below.

, and of course support from its dedicated ARMY -- it was only a matter of time until a K-pop hit would dominate the Hot 100, and BTS was always the likely frontrunner to do it first.: Overdue. K-pop has become undeniably influential on the makeup of modern U.S. pop over the past few years, and it was only a matter of time before an artist notched a Hot 100 chart-topper.

2. We've asked about this before with BTS songs in this column, but do you think"Dynamite" will be the song that not only demonstrates the size of the group's always-growing following, but really sticks around as a stateside pop hit and becomes part of larger pop culture on its own?: I do think it’ll stick around as a hit for a while, and it’s already made pop culture history as the first No. 1 by an all-South Korean group.

has a nice energetic but laid-back vibe that suits summer quarantine listening, but all in all, the original is the winner.actually gives me a new appreciation for the groove having a little more turn-of-the-century Phoenix to it than I realized. But also like the EDM remix, which puts a little muscle in the production, and would sound great on a top 40 station's Saturday night dance party mix show.at the upcoming Grammys -- what do you think would mean more to BTS and their ARMY, this No.

5. Now that BTS has officially blown all the way up on the Hot 100, give a shoutout to another song with an explosive title that you would've liked to see get to No. 1.

With english song?

BTS

ARMY shouldn't be arrogant. Let them hear what they are going to say. They said nothing negative. 'Dynamite is just the beginning of their 1' Luckily the song made it to the top spot. I like the song because it's an english song. No hate to BTS. I respect their accomplishments.

it’s the seven amazing boys hard work and talent that’s it💜

they said nice things but I wish they would quit with the 'kpop' Its not a win or a number 1 for kpop. Its a win for BTS. when other artists top the chart is it a 'win for American pop'? no... only BTS is doing this. but i do agree it should have happened sooner☆

Korean and US army somehow have upperhand!

SooHyeonSK No need for experts !!! BTS IS BTS and ARMY=BTS WE ALWAYS LOVE AND SUPPORT OUR BOYS 😼

❗❗ ATTENTION ❗❗ if 8,000 🇺🇸 armys buy 24 MP3s (4 of each version) that’s 192,000 units + iTunes sales that’s 200,000 sales which is about 400 points + if we can get 100+ points from str3áms & radio play then it puts us in a good position for a 2nd week at 1

It means that BTSARMy got fed up of the industry game and we played it on our side this time! And we scored big! Dynamite BTS1onHot100

Manufactured shite

Vengo a dejar esto y a decirles que vamos perdiendo army esto es de los billboards

Great interview 👍

KEEP STREAMING DYNAMITE!

Wow seriously

doyou_bangtan BTS and ARMYs already experts no need for others PLEASE

doyou_bangtan Bts would havw got no 1 in hot 100 even if the song wasnt in English.. if that doesn’t make u blv it we will show u in next comeback

doyou_bangtan “them getting the kind of industry and insider recognition that a Grammy nomination implies would be a legitimately new (though long-deserved) achievement for the group.” Sweet. BTS_twt

'Recording Academy, which has yet to formally recognize the staying power of K-pop.' They need to view BTS_twt as BTS, a chart dominating, record breaking, packed stadium group & the testament of their own staying power. Seriously. They've proven it for 7 years now.

when it flops next week

doyou_bangtan maybe it's just because they have a lot of army (fans) in America and we buy and listen to their songs a lot? but also this song being all English which is lowkey them proving xenophobia exists in the music industry

We don't need experts. Armys are the only experts when it comes to bts

I think it's strange people are referring to Dynamite, an English song, as a kpop hit. What makes it or BTS in general kpop? Language? BTS achieving big things doesn't mean that kpop is getting big bc even most western artists arent reaching their level of success in every area.

It ain’t shit, they’re trash

It's a fragile hold. Like other BTS achievements, it was accomplished with the help of concerted efforts by ARMY, but we can't sustain this level of effort indefinitely. The question? Can Dynamite harvest the energy of average Americans to roll over boundaries of prejudice?

They are the best😍😍😍💜💜💛

glosshypegirl Experts cannot speculate what will happen with BTS because ARMY is unpredictable and will do anything in their power to see them on the top.

ARMMYYYY!!! 💜💜💜😭😭😭 KEEP STREAMING WE ALMOST TO 300M ON YOUTUBE!! 😭😭 WE NEED HELP IJ REACHING THE GOALLL!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜 AND ALSO ON OTHER PLATFORMS

It is not the influence of kpop, it is the influence and impact of BTS, the achievement is for them, not for kpop in general.
