\n\tIn the 15 years since K-pop\u2019s early international pioneers\u00a0BoA<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Wonder Girls<\/a>\u00a0made their respective marks on the\u00a0Billboard 200<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Billboard Hot 100<\/a> charts\u00a0back in 2009, the Korean pop industry has made significant strides on the Billboard<\/em> charts \u2014 and never has its crossover success been more apparent than now.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2023 alone, 35 different K-pop albums entered the\u00a0Billboard 200<\/a>, and five took the No. 1 spot. TOMORROW X TOGETHER\u2019s\u00a0The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION<\/em>\u00a0hit the top spot in February, Stray Kids\u2019\u00a05-STAR<\/em>\u00a0reigned for a week in June, NewJeans\u2019\u00a0Get Up<\/em>\u00a0took over in August, Stray Kids scored a second No. 1 this year with\u00a0ROCK-STAR<\/em>\u00a0in November, before ATEEZ snagged their first chart-topper with\u00a0The World EP.Fin: Will\u00a0<\/em>in December.<\/p>\n

\n\tOver on the\u00a0Hot 100<\/a>, Jimin of BTS opened a new chapter of K-pop history when he became the first South Korean solo artist to hit No. 1 on the chart with his solo single \u201cLike Crazy.\u201d His bandmate Jung Kook followed soon after when \u201cSeven\u201d (featuring Latto) debuted atop the Hot 100 and set the stage for the star to set a new record with three top five solo hits so far. Elsewhere, artists like BIGBANG\u2019s Taeyang, NewJeans, FIFTY FIFTY, Stray Kids and Jennie of BLACKPINK all earned their first Hot 100 entries, while TWICE and BTS members J-Hope, Agust D and V all added additional entries to their Hot 100 collections.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf course, many artists also spent time connecting with their global fans, thanks to massive tours across the globe. Acts like SEVENTEEN, ENHYPEN, NCT, TWICE, aespa, LE SSERAFIM, (G)I-DLE, ITZY, Agust D and more played the largest venues of their career, further displaying K-pop\u2019s impact on the live market.<\/p>\n

\n\tAhead of the launch of Billboard Korea<\/em><\/a> \u2014 with a kick-off event in Seoul set for May, where the artists on this list will be invited as the guests of honor, and the first issue, Billboard K Vol.1<\/em>, scheduled for release in June \u2014 we\u2019ve compiled the inaugural Billboard K-Pop Artist 100 list, with rankings based on activity on the Billboard 200 albums chart, Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and Billboard Boxscore (touring) data for the charts dated Jan. 7, 2023, through Dec. 30, 2023.
