H.O.T., ‘Candy’ (1996)Just as the Backstreet Boys were honing the idea of the contemporary boy band in the U.S., H.O.T. Diva, ‘Yo Yo’ (1999)A midcareer hit from Diva, which made its mark as one of the first successful female rap outfits in the country. By this point, the trio’s music was polished, and some of the bite of its early singles had been quelled, but “Yo Yo” still had verve and snap. “Lies” is one of the group’s biggest singles, a throbbing ballad with a slow-burn music video that’s unerringly sad. BTS, ‘DNA’ (2017)Peak hypercolor pop from the current boy band kings.
