K-pop superstars BTS — arguably currently the most popular boy band in the world — is breaking records yet again with its song Boy With Luv.
Boy With Luv, featuring American pop star Halsey, is the first single from the Korean boy band’s new album Map of the Soul: Persona. Debuting at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart makes this the highest-charting song by a Korean pop group ever, according to reports on Monday.
It seems as though Boy With Luv is the kind of chart-topping tune that is breaking more than one kind of record.
