K-pop boy band BTS has made history by topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 

Billboard said that BTS's first English-language song "Dynamite" debuted at No. 1 on its Hot 100 chart on Monday.

The Billboard chart for the top 100 popular songs in the United States is based on online streams, sales and radio play. 

It's the first time a South Korean artist has topped the chart. Previously, BTS' "ON" peaked at No. 4 earlier this year, while PSY reached No. 2 with "Gangnam Style" for seven straight weeks in 2012.

"Dynamite," a bright, upbeat disco-pop track, is the seven-member boy band's first-ever English single.
