BTS has been named one of the 10 best bands ever by US magazine Esquire.
The popular men’s magazine, with an 87-year history, revealed its list over the weekend.
“While K-pop as a genre has been around for decades, BTS is arguably one of the vanguard acts to pioneer K-pop’s immeasurable worldwide success,” Esquire said.
“With a fan base that is aptly described as ‘ARMY,’ BTS’s beloved septet has rapidly redefined boy bands, fandoms, and pop music itself.”
The magazine also said the K-pop boy band’s hit songs “Dynamite” and “Life Goes On” offer a blend of pop, hip-hop, disco and R&B, with catchy melodies and lyrics laced with social commentary.
The other bands honored by the magazine -- the Supremes, the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Sly and the Family Stone, the Beach Boys, ABBA, the Temptations and Destiny’s Child -- were popular at different times from the 1960s through the 2000s.
