[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dong-hyun] The group BTS has once again conquered the main US Billboard singles chart with their collaboration track "My Universe" with Coldplay.

On the 4th (local time), Billboard announced that BTS and Coldplay's "My Universe," released on September 24, topped the "Hot 100" chart dated October 9. The "Hot 100" is Billboard's main chart that ranks singles based on streaming, radio airplay, and digital sales. Since BTS first topped the "Hot 100" with their digital single "Dynamite" in August last year, they have reached number one a total of six times with "Savage Love" remix (featuring), the title track "Life Goes On" from the album "BE," digital singles "Butter," "Permission to Dance," and "My Universe."

Billboard stated on its official website, "BTS has achieved six number-one songs on the chart since 'Dynamite,' including the latest 'My Universe.' Achieving six number-one hits in just over a year is the shortest period since The Beatles (1 year and 2 weeks) from 1964 to 1966."

BTS has further solidified their title as the artist with the most "Hot 100" number-one songs in the 2020s. Among the six songs, five debuted directly at number one on the "Hot 100" chart, tying the record for the most hot shot debuts alongside Drake and Ariana Grande.

According to Billboard, "My Universe" is the first number-one song created by two groups who have previously topped the "Hot 100" chart. BTS also became the first to top the "Hot Rock & Alternative Songs" and "Hot Alternative Songs" charts with "My Universe."

BTS's total number of weeks at number one on the Billboard "Hot 100" chart has increased to 17, starting with "Dynamite" (3 weeks), the "Savage Love" remix (1 week), the album "BE" title track "Life Goes On" (1 week), "Butter" (10 weeks), "Permission to Dance" (1 week), and "My Universe" (1 week).

Meanwhile, "My Universe" also reached number three on the UK Official Charts' "Official Singles Chart Top 100" shortly after its release and is scheduled to be included in Coldplay's ninth album "Music Of The Spheres," set to be released on the 15th.
