K-pop group Seventeen is rivalling with Taylor Swift and making history in the UK. Here's why they're so popular

ABC  

Who's the most popular music act in the world right now? "K-pop describes this way of creating music and artists with talent spotting, then training and the packaging of the group, and the marketing," Dr Keith said. For many people, K-pop is synonymous with catchy songs with colourful music videos like Gangnam Style and BTS's Butter, but Jen said that it was much more diverse than that. Seventeen's FML sold 6.4 million units worldwide in 2023, more than double Taylor Swift's 1989, which sold 2.8 million units, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry Global Album Sales Chart. "Some fandoms and fans collectively organise to purchase K-pop albums so that their artist performs well in the charts," Dr Keith said.
