For the World Album Artists Chart, BTS ranked fifth, while GOT7 followed closely at the sixth place. Ireland’s Celtic Thunder was in the first place on this chart.

BTS also ranked at No. 34 on the Social 50 Artists Chart, behind The Weeknd and followed by Martin Garrix in the list that was topped by Justin Bieber.

The boy band had a successful year, also featuring on the Twitter Top Tracks Chart with “Save Me” at No. 36 and Fire at No. 26. It was also the only K-pop act on Fuse’s “20 Best Album of 2016 List.”
