Previously among South Korean solo artists, PSY reached a No. 2 best with \u201cGangnam Style\u201d for seven weeks in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of Asian acts atop the Hot 100 dates back to the chart\u2019s early years, as Japanese-born Kyu Sakamoto became the first to lead, with \u201cSukiyaki\u201d for three weeks in 1963. In 2010, Far*East Movement reigned with \u201cLike a G6,\u201d with the act\u2019s lineup at the time including two members of Korean heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BTS members solo on the Hot 100:<\/strong>&nbsp;Jimin scores not only the first Hot 100 No. 1 by a BTS member solo, but the first top 10, or even top 20, hit on the chart.
