A top 5 list of BTS' most popular hits is quite difficult to write, owing to the massive popularity of the band itself and the virality of every song they've put out. The 7-member K-pop band under Big Hit Entertainment is a hot and trending topic, constantly in demand.
Taking into account their non-stop releases, it may be difficult to keep up with their pace. For that purpose, we've listed our personal take on the top five most popular BTS songs as of 2021.
