240216 Rolling Stone: 500 Best Songs of All Time (Spring Day and Dynamite are ranked at #280 and #346)

Reposted because I missed Spring Day, thank you u/atxbuddy1 for the observation!

**Spring Day**

> A timeless meditation on friendship, sorrow, and regret, “Spring Day” is a brilliant example of BTS’ unique ability to channel complex emotions into universal pop songs.

**Dynamite**

> BTS’ first-ever U.S. Number One, as well as their first full English-language song, “Dynamite” was a landmark, hegemony-shattering moment for the world-conquering South Korean group.

Woah, I know these Rolling Stone lists are questionable and the whole idea of ranking songs is in itself antithetical to music, but it’s wild to me how Western media has latched on to BTS’ Korean hits. I still don’t expect for songs like Spring Day to be included in lists like this. I wonder when BTS return if their English songs will even start to fall away in critics notice and be replaced by their marquee Korean hits that they are most known for.
