April fools is usually a day for pranks and Jokes, but recently, Forbes published a very serious article on K-pop groups or idols who made recent strides in the industry, more particularly being on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart.
On April 1, Forbes released an article about five entertainers who made "essential moves" on the recent Billboard chart ranking. Excitingly, four of the five entertainers were K-pop groups and idols. Here are the K-pop groups featured:
ATEEZ's new single entitled "Still Here" debuts at the 24th spot on this week's Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart. Usually, Japanese songs made by K-pop artists do not usually make this chart, but ATEEZ was able to do it, making this a very big milestone.
Moreover, it was noted by Forbes that ATEEZ almost didn't make it to this week's Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, but luckily, they were able to do it.
