2020 was the biggest year yet on the Pop Songs chart for Korean musicians.

... [+]

group BTS attend the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards at Staples Center on January 26, 2020 in Los Angeles, California. 2020 was a huge year for a number of Korean artists in America, as records were smashed and quite a few names reached charts they’d never appeared on before or hit special, noteworthy new highs. One such tally that experienced a surge in talents from South Korea is’s Pop Songs ranking, which tracks the most-heard songs on a number of top 40 stations across the U.S. every week.

In 2020, four songs from as many South Korean musical acts reached the Pop Songs chart. That may not sound like a very impressive number, but it is more in a calendar year than ever before. South Korean boy band Monsta X kicked things off right with their single"You Can't Hold My Heart,” which didn’t go on to become a serious smash, but it was the first track by a group from the country to place on the Pop Songs chart in 2020. The tune stalled in last place, at No. 40, for one week in the spring before falling off.

It would be months before another song by a Korean band appeared on the Pop Songs radio chart, but once that spell was broken, history was made in a very important fashion.

Qué clase de periodista es el que contrataron para que escriba ese artículo? Tan bajo cayó Forbes

PopBangHugh I'm not going to waste time insulting you, keep barking hater. This work of art doesn't need your approval or anyone else. ✨STREAM AL ABOUT LUV BITCH AND STAN MONSTA X FOR A BETTER LIFE✨ Peace.

PopBangHugh Is seriously? Now they call this article? They can't imagine what the hard work is, nor the reach that these bands have done internationally so that they talk SO softly about them. Pathetic. They should be sorry for not offering the necessary apologies.

Well that was certainly Writing, if not good, it was still written. Didn't even try to hide your bias here, maybe check for the tone of writing, and fact check before publishing.

PopBangHugh Respect Monsta X, the journalist is so unprofessional!!!!!

PopBangHugh lemme just tell your idiotic arse that It was the FIRST ENGLISH ALBUM MADE BY KOREANS

PopBangHugh You literally used Monsta X name just to make a disrespectful comparative, I don't have any problem with the other bands, but, man, monsta x literally released a complete album in English and you don't even mention it.

PopBangHugh Unprofessional

Hello? You're a brand with quite a rep and you have people so unprofessional to write a biased view of popularity growth on music that discredit other artists efforts on making their own name in the industry?

There are way to write and the way you wrote it it's so mean, you could literally PRAISE every artist just like what you did with the 2 others groups but no you choose to discredit Monsta X who work really hard to show us how much they love us with AAL, plz take down that article

A very unprofessional and 'biased' way of writing about MONSTA X. Do better.

This is the way you have to write your f*ck news; poor journalism, if you don't want do it don't do it we don't forced to do it ,we don't need it OfficialMonstaX don't need this, don't mention them anymore if you don't respect they. You sucks... Read good ,you really sucks

Vete a la puta mierda

PopBangHugh PopBangHugh I'm still expecting a good review of monsta x, And I see better journalists than you constructively criticizing music or pop and kpop groups I hope it gets better over time or apologies even if Can

'And Suga'

LES HACE FALTA PROFESIONALISMO BOLA DE INRRESPETUOSOS

I'm not opinion this shit 😎. Monsta x made 2020 historical and we don't need your approval.

You need to put MONSTA X's picture tho!

PopBangHugh truly it does, it feels like Monsta X is the first kpop group in 10 years to release a full english album that even charted on 5 BB200

'and SUGA' OMG I'M FAN 💙💙💙💙💙

PopBangHugh You write as shit anyways

PopBangHugh Our boys OfficialMonstaX deserve an apology. Nothing less nothing more ❤️

PopBangHugh Worst article ever 🤮🤢

TF IS WRONG WITH YOU Don't write about Monsta X if you don't want to! The fucking unprofessionalism in this!

The disrespect and unprofessionalism. Do better and research more. Poor journalism

PopBangHugh Did you do this on purpose? Like you wanted MX fans to come at you, right? You could have been positive but you wanted to be an asshat. 🐍

PopBangHugh huge boo to the writer. BOOOOOO

Are you a failed journalist ? 📰 - 🚮 PopBangHugh

PopBangHugh This piece didn’t just insult Monsta X, but it also downplayed the hard work of every other Kpop group. The whole article just downplayed the success and break through a that not only these Kpop groups have made but also past ones from the 2nd gen.

Damn Hugh, that was a bit low, wasn’t it? You could’ve written this without the subtle not so subtle insults and downgrading... Put some respect when you mention Monsta X next time, please...

truly it does, it feels like Monsta X is the first kpop group in 10 years to release a full english album that even charted on 5 BB200

PopBangHugh truly it does, it feels like Monsta X is the first kpop group in 10 years to release a full english album that even charted on 5 BB200

PopBangHugh

PopBangHugh

PopBangHugh ¿Ese tipo es un periodista en verdad? Que falta de profesionalismo, es una vergüenza, al menos deberia perdir disculpas pero de seguro es un cobarde que tiene acceso a una columna en una revista para tirar mierda a quien me plazca, deberian despedirlo a ese idiota, es un inútil

Shout out to PopBangHugh for recognizing OfficialMonstaX amazing all English album All About Luv & S. Korean artist’s success👏🏼 2020 was a great year for Monsta X. Monbebe are excited for 2021.

?

truly it does, it feels like Monsta X is the first kpop group in 10 years to release a full english album that even charted on 5 BB200🤷🏼‍♀️..........

PopBangHugh fact check the stories you post. The dismissive and denigrating tone of PopBangHugh piece is offensive. OfficialMonstaX released 'All About Luv' on 2/14/2020, and was the first Kpop group to release a full English language album in a decade. It reached 5 on BB 200.

when will u apologize actually PopBangHugh

i'm so proud of my man achievement ❤❤ OfficialMonstaX but your writing skills so unprofessional 😌

Wow what a disrespectful non compliment that was to Monsta X! Why even bother mentioning them at all? They had an entire English album full of unskippable songs, the first all English album of it's kind in a decade and this is the write up Seriously disappointed .

PopBangHugh Junk article 🙄 Learn to write without bias-ing. Shame on you

PopBangHugh The choice of words for mx was so bad. The title is positive, you expect to read something positive, then you proceed to write with another words 'well they did this BUT it didn't go so well, so..' I'm not expecting anything from this journalists and they still disappoint me, smh

u ain't gonna do my baby girl AAL dirty like that and leave scratch free

PopBangHugh Poco profesionalismo amigo te faltó colocar que el que escribió el artículo es un completo idiota. Ya la regaste y mínimo discúlpate ten tantita ética,se supone que eres un profesional pero no lo noto.

PopBangHugh MONSTA X has a long list of hits, very little professionalism shown in the article trying to downgrade the work of an artist.

PopBangHugh someone needs to take your job away mayo packet 💕

PopBangHugh You call yourself a journalist?

PopBangHugh are you even a journalist 😐😐😐

PopBangHugh You write a Article as if i didn't study that profession it didn't suit u, poor thing u need to learn more look what u make it's disgusting!!!. Sorry not sorry

PopBangHugh This is how u should write a Article Do a research 😂 Im just tryna to help you 😂 😂

PopBangHugh Is this a Sample of School making article Lmao hey i guess i can do your job well 🤣🤣 lmao how did u get that job? What a unprofessional ... RESPECT MONSTA X bitch 🙄

this is not an article, this is more like monsta x haters are making articles. can't you make articles without dropping other grub. this is so unprofessional

PopBangHugh If you don't have better things to say about our boys and you underestimate their work, say nothing and be the professional you are supposed to be. Your article sucks and is disrespectful. Thanks for nothing. Whatever, MONSTA X always shines! Copio porque no se inglés!

MONSTA X was not the first group to release an all English album for you to slander them in your article

Anyway...

OfficialMonstaX are amazing. I'd love to see more comprehensive coverage of them in the future.

BIASED ARTICLE. MEH. NOT A GOOD READ AT ALL. 😐

Unfair. Disappointing. Title says 'helped make 2020 a historic year for korean acts' then you go about with the anti behavior on MX. Why is it that the group who works their asses off, having multiple comebacks in 2020 and just overall being hardworkers get treated like shit. 😐

PopBangHugh truly it does, it feels like Monsta X is the first kpop group in 10 years to release a full english album that even charted on 5 BB200 OfficialMonstaX MONSTAX

Very poor wording and zero effort put into the Monsta x description. They have so many accomplishments yet you decided to put it like that.

PopBangHugh Try to write good please... You're really wrong

Wow PopBangHugh This has to be the worst article 'highlighting' achievements. What research was actually done on your part for this? Are you seriously thinking we wouldn't see it? This has to be the most disrespectful writing I've seen ever.

PopBangHugh truly it does, it feels like Monsta X OfficialMonstaX is the first kpop group in 10 years to release a full english album that even charted on 5 BB200

PopBangHugh why is ALWAYS the white bitches that be saying too much? Lol miss girl you did a poorly job writing this shitty article, try harder

It looks like an article writting by someone who doesn't even know about charts... are you sure your writters are professional enough? Quality control. For example JacksonWang852 charted 39 with 100WAYS in 2020 OfficialMonstaX 5 in Billboard 200 Trash article...

PopBangHugh What's your job? Devalue the work of artists that you think is appropriate? I did not know that you could be paid to do something so low and be so mediocre

PopBangHugh Sooo who's paying this white dude for being so unprofesional What a waste of Internet

u didn't need to belittle monsta x's achievement for the sake of the article. everyone has their own achievements just write the statistics as it is without the bias hugh mcintyre

you know how much all these K pop groups, and those before them, worked for these results? this is what makes K pop so respected by international fans. these idols don't eat, sleep, they live to work, are super talented+make their own songs yet they are humble + respectful

buddies you need to do some more research before writing an article on K pop bcs it is not only about numbers you know. or anyone could write and work OfficialMonstaX is the first K pop group to take out a FULL ENGLISH album. members participated to the songs

Dios🙄 the way that you wrote this article was sooo unprofessional🤢 actually ALL ABOUT LUV has been a perfect masterpiece and very famous indeed, they could be able to caught the attention of new people because of their beautiful and engaging songs!!

Nonsense! How much were you paid to write such 'incredible' thing? Unfortunately, I can't dislike this article but it's the worst one I've read. Dear PopBangHugh , please, never ever write about k-pop because you don't know anything about it. Wish you nothing but the best!

delete

...and SUGA •́ ‿ •̀ SUGA 슈가 방탄소년단슈가

Be polite!!!!!!

PopBangHugh Just being that rude shows how much unprofessional you are If you have problem with mx just fck off man We don't want your rude article

váyanse a cagar pedorros

PopBangHugh Many parts of this article were extremely unprofessional and rude. We understand that you’re trying to write an informative article, but you could have used much better word choice. Extremely disappointing to see how you managed to downplay such big achievements.

Respect the work of the all artist!!!!!

Really? Is that all you had to say about OfficialMonstaX? Better don't write anything... So unprofessional 👎🏻

ALL ABOUT LUV de Monsta X es ARTE Y PUNTO.

Try to write good please... You're really wrong, be careful you really suck at this🙄 CORRECTION!!! ALL ABOUT LUV FROM OfficialMonstaX DEBUTED ON 5 PLACE ON BB200 AND WRITED A ENTIRE ENGLISH ALBUM WAS ON 10 BB CHARTS OKAY? AAL IS A MASTER PIECE IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT

PopBangHugh PopBangHugh you should really be ashamed of writing or contributing to something like this. Talking about OfficialMonstaX efforts if it were nothing? They made history, A WHOLE ENGLISH ALBUM, which is not their mother tongue. Wash you mouth before you talk about them again.

PopBangHugh you really should learn how to properly write, being professional and giving intelligent criticism. You could’ve written a good article but you preferred to be shady.

I don't know the purpose of this article. If you are gonna write about others artists, at least be respectful with their work.

hijosdelagranputa desgraciados

You're so funny PopBangHugh 😆

PopBangHugh Now why do you hire salty disrespectful people and give them a platform ? Your standards can’t be THAT low ? Embarrassing

PopBangHugh Really Forbes ? This is the best you can put out ? Aren’t you embarrassed The lack of professionalism in this article is crazy

PopBangHugh This is such a bad written article , don’t you even proof read the articles before publishing them ? You are giving platform to xenophobic people and you’re okay with that ?

PopBangHugh Forbes is run out of good columnists? Dear , please, consider to hire professionals to write about K-pop. We don't like to see such a shady articles. 'All About Luv' by OfficialMonstaX is a great album, a gift for fans, so we'd like to see a bit of respect, thank you.

PopBangHugh Maybe you should learn being professional before calling yourself a journalist.

PopBangHugh I know you’re aware that the tone of your article was quite disrespectful Perhaps you should, oh I don’t know, take it down? Fix it?

PopBangHugh Seems like it is really difficult for White men to respect asians. Did your fragile white ego got hurt?

PopBangHugh Was it necessary to disrespect them? Is it called journalism or clout chasing? You just wanted to get some clout, so you decided to drag a group who brought us 1st English album of the decade by a K pop group. Explain what is the point of this?

ALL was a very complete album that positioned itself very well in terms of sales and captivated many,getting many more people to join us and acquire affection for this group of talented boys I think any other word is unnecessary,it was,is and will be an excellent production

PopBangHugh using bts and blackpink for clout and straight up bashing MonstaX, be ashamed of your self

PopBangHugh I hope that next time you will have a little more professionalism

PopBangHugh hun find another job, this ain't it for you. you should have SERIOUSLY shown respect to MonstaX. bub people know them ,who tf knows you?

disappointed but not surprised, whats the point of writing about our boys success then turn out as disrespecting them.. y'all is just disgusting-🤢🤢

forbes you have opinion pieces correct but do good journalism by having proper fact checks on how music is charted dont be disrespectful

you need to do a serious facr cheeck on this article thanks

PopBangHugh What is with this shitty article? PopBangHugh The disrespect is astounding 🤢🤢🤢

Well that doesn’t seem very professional does it? 🤨 Up your writing skills next time...you need to attend a journalism class

Los amo! Mis pequeños OfficialMonstaX official__wonho

If you don't have better things to say about our boys and you underestimate their work, say nothing and be the professional you are supposed to be. Your article sucks and is disrespectful. Thanks for nothing.

PopBangHugh if you are disrespecting people but also an artist , so what's the point of becoming an artist ?

YES OUR BOYS, OfficialMonstaX MADE HISTORY HOWEVER, IF YOU COULD JUST HAVE WRITTEN THIS ARTICLE BETTER WITHOUT THIS LOW-KEY INSULT, WE WOULD BE HAPPY. I MEAN, WHY IS THIS? WHAT'S THE PURPOSE? ANYWAYS THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO EDIT AND THIS SHITTY ARTICLE AND STOP THE INSULT.

So proud of Monsta X!!! 🥰 PS Stream All About Luv 🥰 OfficialMonstaX official__wonho

“which didn‘t go on to be a serious smash‘ - sorry what? Can you write something respectful about every artist? Shouldn‘t this be written by a professional? Mention that they’re the first kpop group in a decade to release a full English album instead of putting down YCHMH ~

I'm so proud of OfficialMonstaX they're so talented they made a WHOLE ENGLISH ALBUM that ROCKED THE WHOLE WORLD. Fix your article and change it to compliments and positivity :)

proud of you OfficialMonstaX official__wonho , always showing how strong they are! All about luv is incredible 💗

What Is wrong with you? I thought you were better than this!

how are you going to so called 'praise' Monsta X while bashing them ? It doesn't make sense to me. Their AAl album is a major break through :/

how unprofessional.

Whats wrong with you! Hate the way you wrote this article

SUGA

Monsta X name looks so pretty on that tittle OfficialMonstaX

Journalists at Forbes, please do better at writing articles without downplaying a certain group. The biasness is so evident.

Ada apa dengan jari jurnalis ini Kesleo kah?

Jurnalisnya siapa ni Bisa ngomong baik'kan Coba jelaskan kalimat yg km tulis pas bagiannya monsta x Sini-sini... Ngomong ama aku... Ada masalah apa

Monsta X my loves MONSTAX

Another thing...it would be great if you appreciate all idols hard work because those words- the choice of words could be better! What does that even mean? It was a big success. The album even charted on 5 billboard200. Why is it necessary to denigrate success in the next moment

Now. Who wrote this ?))))))

I am nor opening your article but let me tell you something, learn to respect and write as the professional you are supposed to be. There is no need to shade others to praise one or another, there is no need to “meh they okay” if you can’t do that really...give up.

the hell shady af
