BTS’s V has just earned a spot on Billboard’s Honor Roll for R&B and Hip-Hop of the Year, highlighting his impressive place in the music world!
On September 9, Billboard shared on Instagram, “Shout out to the 2024 Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Honor Roll.”
Billboard announced that the Honor Roll includes artists who scored at least one No. 1 on the Billboard R&B, Rap Songs, or Album charts between August 1, 2023, and July 31, 2024.
V joins a stellar list of R&B and Hip-Hop stars like Beyoncé, Doja Cat, Drake, and legends such as Michael Jackson and Usher. He made headlines by topping the Billboard R&B Digital Song Sales chart with “Wherever U R” on January 13 and became the first K-pop male artist to hit the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart. UMI, the neo-soul artist V worked with, is also on the Honor Roll.
BTS’s RM is also featured, making V and RM the only Asians on this prestigious list.
V has shown his love for R&B through solo tracks in BTS albums like “Stigma” and “Singularity,” highlighting his passion for neo-soul music.
Last September, V released his solo album Layover, which blends pop R&B with jazz and soul. The album received high praise and was named Best Album of 2023 by several top international music magazines.
Since then, V has continued to explore pop-soul R&B with hits like “Wherever U R” and “FRI(END)S.”
Fans are celebrating V’s latest achievement, showcasing his growing influence in the R&B genre!
