BTS become the first K-pop band to top the US albums chart when Love Yourself: Tear debuts at #1.

BTS draw about 750,000 viewers (in 107 countries) to their Bang Bang Con livestream concert, earning an estimated $20 million in ticket sales, far more than what a traditional concert could earn.

'N Sync release their first new music since 2002 with the single "Better Place," used in the movie Trolls Band Together.

At his concert in Los Angeles, Justin Timberlake brings out his group 'N Sync, who perform together for the first time since the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Along with a medley of their hits, they debut a new song, "Paradise."
