Republic Records topped the Billboard Hot 100 label for five years in a row, until last year. This year's rankings will be announced later.

The label is home to numerous world-famous artists, including Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, DNCE and The Weeknd.

TXT is the first band Big Hit Entertainment has introduced in six years. It debuted on March 4 with the album "The Dream Chapter: Star." The music video of the title song "CROWN" reached 10 million views in just 13 hours.
