The power and influence of K-pop continue to reach new heights as multiple groups dominate the iTunes charts, leaving a trail of record-breaking achievements in their wake.
On June 9, 2023, BTS once again etched their name in history as their latest track Take Two soared to the No.1 spot on the US iTunes chart, making it the fastest K-pop song to achieve this feat.

The impressive musical offering topped the iTunes "Top Album" chart in an astonishing 100 countries across the globe on June 1, 2022. From Australia and Brazil to France, Germany, and Japan, GOT7's album showcased its worldwide appeal, becoming the first and only album released in 2022 to claim the No. 1 spot in 100 different regions.
Their title track, NANANA, further solidified their popularity by achieving an impressive 75 number 1 positions on iTunes "Top Song" charts globally. Remarkably, this accomplishment was achieved without any international collaborations, setting GOT7 apart from other bands.
Joining the ranks of these chart-toppers, TXT and the Jonas Brothers delivered an explosive joint single, titled Do It Like That, on July 7 at 1 pm KST. The song quickly captured the hearts of listeners around the world, instantly ascending to the top of iTunes charts in numerous countries.
In fact, by 10 am KST on July 8, Do It Like That had already claimed the No. 1 position on iTunes Top Songs charts in at least 57 regions.
