About to go to bed? There’s a good chance you will be falling asleep to the dulcet tones of K-pop giants BTS.
Data from almost 600 sleep-related Spotify playlists has been analysed by British hotel chain Premier Inn, and it discovered that the BTS members were the most popular artists on the playlists.
US singer-songwriter Billie Eilish was in second place and British boy band One Direction were third.
In total, the playlists contained 43,000 songs and BTS appeared more than 1,700 times, with their tunes appearing an average of three times on each sleep-related playlist. BTS tracks such as Dynamite, The Truth Untold and Your Eyes Tell were among the most popular tracks to doze off to.
