The Rolling Stones recently launched their Top 50 Best Song list; three major K-POP acts have made it big on the list. The list now includes Butter by BTS, The Feels by TWICE and, Rosario by Epik High, alongside various other international and global artists.

Standing tall and proud at rank number #16 is none other than BTS's Butter! This funky song not only received a Grammy Nomination but also managed to make it on Rolling Stone's list and here's what they had to say,

"Butter' rides a Chic-loving disco groove similar to their megahit 'Dynamite."

But this is not the only K-pop band to make it on the list as snagging rank number #40 is none other than Epik High's Rosario. Here's what the Rolling Stones had to say,

"Over a light trap beat and flamenco-style guitar, the three artists trade verses about the standard for K-Pop acts to follow."

Snagging rank number #50 was TWICE's The Feels, and this is what the Rolling Stones had to say about this groovy tune,

"It deservedly caught the attention of Western market. ...'The Feels' is one of the year's most effervescent choruses: 'Boy, I, Boy, I, Boy, I know, I know you got the feels,' will be replaying in your head all day."
