While there has been a lot of news in recent days about K-Pop songs and albums ranking on Billboard charts, it’s not an entirely new thing to happen! In fact, K-Pop has been charting on Billboard lists as far back as the late 2000s, and while they’re definitely ranking higher than they used to, there were a lot of older artists that helped pave the way!
