BTS's "Boy With Luv" Becomes 1st Korean-Language Song Ever To Join Spotify's Billions Club

Once again, BTS has made K-pop history on Spotify!

On February 10 local time, Spotify officially announced that BTS’s 2019 smash hit “Boy With Luv” (featuring Halsey) had joined its Billions Club after surpassing 1 billion streams on the platform—making it the first Korean-language song in history to reach the milestone.

“Boy With Luv” is BTS’s third song to join Spotify’s Billions Club after “Dynamite,” which made history in 2021 as the first song by a Korean artist ever to reach 1 billion streams, and “Butter,” which earned the distinction last year.

Congratulations to BTS and Halsey!
