To mark its 10th anniversary, Apple Music unveiled its Top 500 Most-Streamed Songs of the Decade, showcasing the global tracks that have dominated listener habits since the platform\u2019s launch in 2015. The list, released in batches to build anticipation, served as a major reflection of pop culture over the past ten years. Among the standout moments was BTS securing not just one but two spots on the chart, making them the only K-pop act represented.<\/p>\n
Their smash hit Dynamite<\/em> ranked at No. 34, while Butter<\/em> landed at No. 252. This dual inclusion reaffirmed BTS\u2019 massive influence and reach in the global music scene. What made the achievement even more striking for fans was that Dynamite<\/em> managed to outperform top-charting songs by Western pop giants, including Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars. For example, Swift\u2019s Cruel Summer<\/em> came in at No. 57, and Mars\u2019 That\u2019s What I Like<\/em> ranked No. 59.<\/p>\n The response from ARMY, BTS\u2019 global fanbase, was immediate and celebratory. Social media platforms were flooded with messages of pride and recognition, with fans calling the moment \u201chistoric\u201d and a testament to BTS\u2019 decade-long impact on the industry. Many pointed to Dynamite<\/em> as a turning point, being the group\u2019s first all-English single and a key factor in bringing K-pop into mainstream Western markets.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the top 10 most-streamed songs on Apple Music painted a familiar picture of mainstream success, dominated by English-language artists. Topping the list was Shape of You<\/em> by Ed Sheeran, followed by Blinding Lights<\/em> by The Weeknd and God\u2019s Plan<\/em> by Drake. Other high-ranking songs included Sunflower<\/em>, rockstar<\/em>, One Dance<\/em>, and SICKO MODE<\/em>, rounding out a decade driven largely by pop, hip-hop, and R&B hits.<\/p>\n BTS\u2019 presence on this list stands out not only because of the language and cultural barriers they\u2019ve transcended but also because they\u2019ve done so with music rooted in Korean identity, global themes, and genre-bending artistry. Their appearance on Apple Music\u2019s decade-defining chart serves as yet another reminder of the group\u2019s role in reshaping the global pop music landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To mark its 10th anniversary, Apple Music unveiled its Top 500 Most-Streamed Songs of the Decade, showcasing the global tracks\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":82691,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[256],"class_list":["post-82690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-bts"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
