BTS and BLACKPINK’s latest songs were recognized by Billboard staff members as some of the best tracks of the year!

On June 4, Billboard released The 50 Best Songs of 2019 (So Far): Staff Picks, featuring two entries by Korean artists.

BTS takes the No. 20 spot on the list with “Boy With Luv” featuring Halsey. Bryan Kress describes their collaboration as an “unstoppable crossover-pop force” and says, “The lyrics are steeped in BTS lore, as the group grows from boys ‘in’ love to those ‘with,’ but the song gives less-versed listeners an irresistible chance to admire what makes them K-pop’s biggest catch.”

BLACKPINK’s “Kill This Love” grabs the No. 50 spot on the list, and Nolan Feeney writes, “The members of K-pop’s reigning girl group don’t just transcend language barriers with their highest-charting U.S. hit, they obliterate them.”
