Wikipedia Trail: From Selena to BTS

I started off with Selena because when I was on google earlier I saw she was the google doodle today and I also saw it on the class twitter stream. Although I don't listen to tejano music and don't know any of her songs I thought I should still do this trail starting with her. Mostly because I think she's an inspiration for anyone who wants to be a musician in a genre of music isn't as popular in mainstream US music. She was one of the most influential Latin artists of all time, and I think that's because of the achievements in music that she reached.

Selena's article sent me to the article for the Billboard music awards. I wanted to go this one because because the album it was referring to allowed her to tour in the US, and I was curious to see if she won the awards it was mentioning.

The Billboard music awards led me to the 2017 Billboard music awards page. And if i'm being completely honest its because at this point I realized where I could, and wanted, to end up.

The 2017 Billboard music awards page led me to the BTS, group that won top social artist, Wikipedia page. I chose this page not only because I love BTS and K Pop, but also because it kind of ties in well with the beginning of my search (Selena). BTS is the first K Pop group to win a billboard music award, and recently became the first K Pop artist to have an album make it in the top ten of Billboard Top 200. Both Latin and K Pop are genres that are big in the US, but they're not something you would hear everyday on the radio. Selena and BTS are both artists who in their genres have managed to break through and catch that kind of attention.
