K-pop artists are also jumping in on the trend, with boyband BTS sweeping awards shows and selling out London's O2 last month. Dua Lipa has collaborated with South Korean supergroup Blackpink, and the Black Eyed Peas have joined forces with K-pop's self-proclaimed "baddest female," CL. According to James Masterton, author of Chart Watch UK, technology has played a large role in making foreign language hits more accessible.
