SEVENTEEN Ranks First on Billboard K-Pop Artist 100, Demonstrating Unmatched Global Dominance

SEVENTEEN secured the top position on the 2025 Billboard K-Pop Artist 100 despite featuring all 13 of its members. The group has solidified its status as one of the most powerful K-pop acts by delivering consistent strong performance in the U.S., global, and Korean markets. This ranking was compiled by Billboard Korea and Billboard by analyzing data from the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard 200 album chart, Global Billboard Global 200 song chart, Billboard Boxscore tour figures, as well as streaming and song sales figures in South Korea, covering the period from October 2024 to September 2025. SEVENTEEN’s 10-year career reached new heights this year, with the group maintaining highly active schedules through both tours and album releases. “Spill the Feels,” released in November 2024, debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200, while “HAPPY BURSTDAY,” released in June 2025, reached number 2 on the same chart. Additionally, the group’s three sub-units—BSS, HOSHI X WOOZI, and CxM (S.COUPS X MINGYU)—all released albums, contributing to the group’s overall global influence. The APT. collaboration between Rosé of BLACKPINK and Bruno Mars also received attention in this ranking. This song debuted at number 8 on the Hot 100 in October 2024, setting a record as the highest-charting solo female artist in K-pop history, before rising to number 3 in February. Stray Kids broke more records by having two Billboard 200 number 1 albums, “HOP” in December 2024 and “KARMA” in August 2025. This achievement marks the first time since the chart began publishing weekly rankings in 1956 that an artist from any country has had all seven of their entries reach number 1. ATEEZ achieved its second album number 1 ranking on the Billboard 200 with “Golden Hour: Part 2” in November 2024. In 2025, the group returned to the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 with the album “Golden Hour: Part 3” and the song “Lemon Drop.” TWICE’s fourth studio album, “THIS IS FOR,” remained on the Billboard 200 for 14 consecutive weeks after its release in July, while multiple groups’ songs occupied top positions on the Hot 100.
