This post was found to be inappropriate by the moderators and has been removed.As a BTS stan, I’m happy dynamite was included but I wish that it was not BTS’ entry. Songs like fake love, spring day, tear, black swan, or even blood sweat & tears would have been better choices. But they aren’t in English and this publication only cares about western/english music. I haven’t scrubbed through the entire list yet but from what I’ve seen less than 5 songs are in a language other than English, and none are in a language other than English or Spanish.
I agree with the sentiment that the list is a joke, or at best lazy.
