BTS Sets New Record for Most No.1s on US Billboard 'Digital Song Sales' Chart
According to the latest chart released on the 14th (local time) by the US music media Billboard, BTS's digital single "Butter," released last May, has claimed its 46th number one on the "Digital Song Sales" chart. With this, BTS became the artist with the most number one rankings in the history of the "Digital Song Sales" chart.
"Butter" also topped the weekly chart of "Hot Trending Songs Powered by Twitter" ("Hot Trending Songs"). Established last October, the "Hot Trending Songs" chart ranks songs most mentioned on Twitter in real-time over the past 24 hours or the past 7 days. Billboard publishes the weekly chart based on data collected from Friday to the following Thursday, separately from the real-time chart.
BTS's collaboration with Coldplay, "My Universe," released on September 24, is also maintaining its popularity on the Billboard charts. The song ranked 59th on Billboard's main singles chart, the "Hot 100," marking its 11th consecutive week on the chart. It also ranked 9th on "Adult Pop Airplay," 8th on "Canadian Hot AC," 22nd on "Pop Airplay," 25th on "Radio Songs," and 27th on "Canadian Digital Song Sales."
BTS placed four songs each on the "Billboard Global 200" and "Billboard Global (Excl. U.S.)" charts, which aggregate streaming and sales data from over 200 countries and regions worldwide. On the "Billboard Global 200" chart, "Butter" ranked 25th, "My Universe" 29th, "Dynamite" 53rd, and "Permission to Dance" 81st. On the "Billboard Global (Excl. U.S.)" chart, "Butter" was 15th, "My Universe" 18th, "Dynamite" 36th, and "Permission to Dance" 53rd.
BTS's fourth full-length album, "MAP OF THE SOUL : 7," ranked 161st on Billboard's main album chart, the "Billboard 200." The album also climbed 14 spots from the previous week to 52nd on the "Top Album Sales" chart. The album "BE," released last November, ranked 83rd on "Top Album Sales" and 41st on "Top Current Album Sales."
