K-Pop
Holds Top
Six On
Social 50
For the first time in 2019,
K-pop acts occupy each
of the Social 50’s top
six spots. The last time
K-pop monopolized
the top six was on the
April 14, 2018, chart,
which featured BTS,
Exo, NCT, Monsta X,
Got7 and Wanna One at
Nos. 1-6. This time, two
of those acts are joined
by four different groups,
with BTS, X1, Got7, Sev-
enteen, Blackpink and
Tomorrow X Together
(above) taking Nos. 1-6,
respectively.
The last of that list
makes the largest gain
of the bunch, leaping
28-6 with 631,000
Twitter reactions in the
week ending Sept. 12,
up 273%, according to
Next Big Sound. One
of the act’s top tweets
wished newly 20-year-
old member Yeonjun a
happy birthday.
K-pop acts also snag
eight of the top 10, with
NCT Dream and Twice
reaching Nos. 9 and 10,
respectively.
