BTS Becomes First Korean Act to Surpass 1 Billion Streams on Apple Music

BTS' world domination now includes being the first Korean artist to surpass 1 billion streams on Apple Music.

On Sunday (Nov. 4), Big Hit Entertainment shared a link to an Osen News story that reported the news, and Billboard has confirmed that BTS are the first Korean artist to achieve the milestone, surpassing the  2012 phenom Psy.

Though there are no exact numbers, BTS’ combined streams came from around the globe, and Osen particularly highlighted the United States, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Australia, and countries in Europe and Southeast Asia.

BTS is currently in the middle of their Love Yourself world tour, which has sold out over 20 shows in South Korea, and in several North American and European countries. Their next show is at the Tokyo Dome on Nov. 13, kicking off the multi-city, sold-out Japanese leg of the tour.
