Bangtan featured on #Fuse's "Best Albums of 2015 So Far"!

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

It has been revealed that BTS is included in American digital cable and satellite television channel Fuse TV’s ranking of the “27 Best Albums We’ve Hear in 2015…So Far.”

On June 23, Fuse TV released a list of its very own Top 27 albums for the first half of this year. BTS’ mini album “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 1” is among the other global artists recognized on this list as the only representative Korean artist.

Also included in this list are Kendrick Lamar, Ciara, Fall Out Boy, Drake, Calvin Harris, and more.

Meanwhile, BTS recently kicked off promotions for their follow-up track “Dope” on music shows this week.

Congrats to BTS on achieving this recognition!

When they hit the K-pop scene in 2013, BTS was an underdog boy band touring a hardcore hip hop sound that at times was too aggressive and at other times felt too weak. But with the release of The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 1, the guys have created their most solid work to date and did so by finding an awesome balance. The album's intro opens with a dreamy production as member Suga gives an Eminem-like rap performance while lead single "I Need U" opens with lush synthesizers and soft coos before moving into it's explosive chorus. Is a Pt. 2 coming? Because we think the guys could break out even bigger with it. –Jeff Benjamin

BoA's album and 4Minute's EP are my faves, but I'll check this BTS one.

Get dem recognition & publicity bbs. Also this is an honest question, is B-Free still pressed over Bangtan?

[areumi.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit curious about that too. I've never heard any BTS-related thing about him after the radio show incident. Not that he matters of course.

not only is the album good, i personally think it might have the best design of the year so far (that i can remember). i looooooove the cover so much. it looks like the diy indie albums that my friends' bands put out or something.

I've heard of Fuse, but I'm not sure how influential they are. In any case, that is quite a collection of artists to be featured amongst, so I'm very proud of the boys. I'm starting to think BTS will only be recognized internationally, so I'm glad to hear they're also slaying in Japan. Too much to pray for War Of Hormones Chinese ver.?

Our Suga-ssi being compared to Eminem. Get it, Yoongi! ^ ^

Nice. Never checked on BTS before I Need U but I agree, this album is reaaaally good and deserves a good spot on lists like that.
I personally really enjoy Boa's album. Good mentions for EXO & Lim Kim. As for minis... way too much actually, I can't llist them all! I'm totally here for girl groups and the first half of the year had great releases.

They totally deserve it.
Awesome that bbs have been getting recognition within and outside SK.

boy band wise, def bangtan and shinee's album.

girl group wise, i liked rainbow's and exid's minis.

Definitely well deserved. I hadn't checked out BTS before I Need U, but when I heard that song, I fell in love. Then I saw the mv for that song, & it broke my heart & hit me right in the feels, since a lot of it reminded me of things I've personally gone thru or experienced with those close to me.

The whole album is really, really, R E A L L Y good, & I'm proud of them being featured on this list. Great job, boys!
