This week, it's a 2020 flashback as Billboard takes on perhaps the two biggest pop acts of the first year of this decade: BTS and The Weeknd. Host Andrew Unterberger is joined first by Jason Lipshutz and Billboard K-pop correspondent Jeff Benjamin to go deep on the Bangtan Boys and their global impact as hitmakers and generational spokesmen, then Kyle Denis and Senior R&B/Hip-Hop/Afrobeats Writer Heran Mamo stop by to talk Abel Tesfaye (1:08:05), and how a guy who emerged in the shadows eventually scored the biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit of all time.
