BTS
K-pop super group BTS made a huge impact with their live U.S. television debut at the 2017 American Music Awards this November, surging mainstream music interest in the seven-member ensemble. The group’s latest single – “MIC Drop” featuring Desiigner – debuted at No. 28 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, marking their highest position to date. BTS’ massive Army fan base dominates social media with over 20 million fans and helped make the band the most-tweeted celebrities of the year.

Why Don’t We
Why Don’t We has created a fandom of millions this year. The quintet – made of teen heartthrobs Daniel Seavey, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais, Zach Herron and Jack Avery – celebrated radio success with infectious singles “Something Different” and “These Girls.” With a sold-out headlining tour and performances at iHeart Radio’s Jingle Ball, the group is primed to have a commanding presence in 2018.
