K-pop in the Rankings
K-pop has a shelf of its own on RList. Its rankings cover the most-viewed music videos (PSY’s Gangnam Style is still #1), the highest-grossing concert tours, the most daesang awards, the luxury brands that sign idols as ambassadors, and four rankings of the tallest idols and K-drama stars.
BTS turns up across several of them, with the most daesang wins and, as of October 2026, the top-grossing tour, the Arirang World Tour, which is still on the road. The table below shows who leads each one.
