BTS singles discography
Wikimedia singles discography
South Korean boy band BTS have released 48 singles as lead artist, including five soundtrack appearances; nine singles as a featured artist; three promotional singles; and over 100 other non-single songs. In Japan, according to Oricon and the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), several of the band's singles are among the most-streamed songs of all time in the country and have set various other streaming and certification records that no other artist or group act in the history of either organization has. In the United States, according to Billboard, they had sold over 3.1 million tracks as of 2021, accounting for 72.3% of K-pop digital track sales, and achieved the second most number-one singles (after Taylor Swift's 9) of the 2020s decade with seven as of 2026. They are also the most-platinum certified Korean artist in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
BTS debuted in South Korea on June 13, 2013, with the single "No More Dream", which peaked at number 124 on the Gaon Digital Chart and sold 50,000 copies. To support their first extended play, O!RUL8,2?, the band released "N.O", which met with minor commercial success domestically. They released four singles in 2014, "Boy in Luv", "Just One Day", "Danger" and "War of Hormone", all of which entered the Digital Chart. "Boy in Luv" performed the best of the five and reached the top 50 of the chart—it sold over 200,000 copies by year's end.
"I Need U", released in April 2015, reached the top five of the Gaon Digital Chart, and peaked at number three on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart in the United States. BTS released two more singles in 2015, "Dope" and "Run"—the latter reached the top ten in South Korea.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia singles discography” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q59243320. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2026, 2013 and 2014.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
