BTS’ collaboration with Snoop Dogg and Benny Blanco debuted at No. 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100, according to the tally dated Aug. 20.

The single “Bad Decisions” featuring Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook of BTS will be the first track from the Brazilian producer’s upcoming third album, due out later this year.

Last month, the septet shared a teaser clip of Blanco calling and asking for a spot via a video call.

“Look, I know we haven’t known each other that long, but I want to be in the band,” says the producer, adding, “I want to sing and dance. I think I could do it.” The bandmates turn him down, but Jimin says, “But we can make a song together.”

BTS became the first K-pop artist to have 10 songs among top ten on the singles chart. “Bad Decisions” topped Billboard’s digital song sales chart and ranked No. 53 on UK’s Official Singles Chart Top 100.

ONF soothes fans with special album

Boy band ONF released a special album on Tuesday while the bandmates are serving their mandatory military duty.

The album “Storage of ONF” is their way of thanking fans who are supporting them throughout their absence. Five members of the six-piece band enlisted at the end of last year, but the band prepared the album beforehand.

The LP consists of 10 tracks: remastered version of its hit songs including “On/Off” and “Complete” as well as five new songs including focus track “Your Song.”

The band’s agency WM Entertainment also will open a pop-up store in Seoul next week to mark the release of the album.

ONF debuted in 2017 and its “Beautiful Beautiful,” lead single from first LP “ONF: My Name,” won the band its first trophy from a television music chart show in March last year.
