According to Billboard on December 4, the Steve Aoki remix of "MIC Drop" featuring Desiigner entered the 'Hot 100' chart, and also managed to take a spot in the top 40. This is BTS' first top 40 track on Billboard. It is also the highest-charting entry for a K-Pop group in general as BTS broke their own previous record for "DNA", which ranked No.67 on the 'Hot 100' chart in October.

So far, Psy with "Gangnam Style", "Gentleman", and "Daddy" is the only other K-Pop artist who has charted higher than BTS on Billboard's 'Hot 100'. However, BTS remains the one and only K-Pop group to take a spot in the top 40 on the chart. Overall, the boy group now ties CL as the K-Pop artist with the second most 'Hot 100' songs following Psy.
Congratulations, BTS!
