[+112, -34] So cool how BTS starts to rise since 2014. 2. [+102, -30] Wow, BTS rises slowly. 3. [+92, -120] It's just BTS. 4. [+82, -27] EXO is amazing. 5. [+71, -8] I'm curious, why are people downvoting comments mentioning EXO? Isn't it amazing to be #1 in 13, 14, 15, and 16? They still did well in 2017 and 2018. = Annual top 5 female artists 2010 1) Girl
