BTS Popular Song Ranking [2026] (11–20)
FOR YOUBTS15rank/position
A heartrending love song themed around a long-distance relationship, it topped the Oricon weekly chart.
Produced by UTA, the music video also features the members transforming into various part-time job roles—another highlight.
The vocal range in “FOR YOU” isn’t very high, but it feels like the lower register is emphasized more than the high notes.
Be careful not to overuse your throat when singing low notes.
Compared to your speaking voice, aim for a slightly more polished tone; lifting your eyebrows helps keep the resonance from dropping too much into the throat, preventing a muffled sound and making it easier to sing.
It’s also recommended to sing as if you’re placing a bundle of breath right in front of you.
ONBTS16rank/position
A globe-trotting superstar group, BTS’s 2020 number.
It’s included on the album “MAP OF THE SOUL: 7,” released in February.
Layered, powerful brass and percussion pleasantly stimulate the ears.
With its freely unfolding sound and driving rhythm, this is a track that’s sure to captivate you more each time you listen.
It conveys lessons and growth gained from overcoming hardships, delivering an encouraging message that makes your heart flutter—and somehow eases those uneasy feelings, too.
It’s a uniquely BTS song that feels like it opens up a whole new world—perfect for starting your day!
Permission to DanceBTS17rank/position
BTS’s “Permission to Dance” is a danceable track released during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the memorable lyric “you don’t need permission to dance.” It features many movements—especially in the chorus and throughout—that are easy for beginners to imitate, making it well-suited for use in dance classes.
Dancing along to the music can help develop a sense of rhythm and let learners experience the joy of expressing themselves through dance.
Try using this song to combine basic steps and enjoy creating your own choreography!
IDOLBTS18rank/position
It blends South African house music with traditional Korean music to express a stance of self-love.
At the time, the music video broke the world record for most views in 24 hours, featuring vividly colorful visuals and powerful dance, and it’s said to include direction that reminds fans of works from 2014.
Even in the Japanese version, there’s a mix of English and Korean, so first-time listeners might find it hard to catch, but it’s recommended for those who enjoy English and Korean.
Since the rhythm is steady, you might find it surprisingly satisfying if you play around and try fitting the lyrics as you sing.
It’s a cool track, so definitely try to learn it.
Airplane pt.2BTS19rank/position
This song incorporates elements of bossa nova, Latin, tango, and Mexican samba, expressing the struggles behind a hectic, globe-trotting life and success, and is characterized by an addictive rhythm driven by syncopation.
Syncopation means that, if you’re counting in four beats where the 1st and 3rd beats tend to be accented, the accents instead fall on the 2nd and 4th beats—reversing the strong and weak beats—or the 4th beat is sustained into the next measure without a break.
If you’re strong with rhythm, you’ll naturally be able to groove to it.
‘Airplane pt.2’ doesn’t have a high vocal range, so it’s highly recommended for those who want to enjoy the rhythm!
RUNBTS20rank/position
When you want to cheer someone on, RUN is the perfect choice.
It’s a song with an impressive, exhilarating sound.
I’ve heard it was written with the intention of encouraging people to take on challenges without fearing failure, and the lyrics are crafted to inspire listeners.
Also, the chorus repeats the same phrase, making it easy to remember and allowing you to focus on singing.
Give it a try! By the way, the original version is in English and Korean, while the Japanese version is in Japanese and English.

Released in April 2019 as a pop song infused with elements of funk and nu-disco, this collaboration between BTS—one of South Korea’s leading artists—and American singer-songwriter Halsey sparked a major global response.
Blending a bright, buoyant melody with BTS’s distinctive vocals and Halsey’s soft voice, the track centers on small everyday joys and love.
It peaked at No.
8 on the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100 and earned Platinum certification in the United States, becoming a breakthrough hit worldwide.
Its poppy, catchy sound and lyrics that gently express the feeling of being in love make it a great pick for anyone seeking a mindful, feel-good moment.
