While the announcement tracked all of the Billboard charts that hit the top 100 over the last decade, BTS released all of their hits over the past couple of years. In 2020, BTS got their first Number 1 Billboard song with “Savage Love”, their partnership with Jason Derulo. They followed it with “Dynamite” and “Life Goes On,” with both tracks released that same year.

In 2021, they released “Butter” and “Permission to Dance,” their collaboration with Coldplay, with both charting Number One for a week.

Other members of the band are planning on releasing solo albums as well. Per the CEO of HYBE, the entertainment company that manages BTS, V, Suga, Jimin and Jungkook will be releasing records in the coming year.

BTS plans to reconvene in 2025.
