BTS time and time again prove their legend status by breaking records. Last week, they broke multiple records as they charted at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 charts for the fifth consecutive week. Now, they have remained at No. 1 for the sixth week in a row, extending its record as the longest-running No. 1 debut recorded by a single group in Hot 100 history!
With 100 million U.S. streams, despite being down 11%, “Butter” remained at the top of Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, according to MRC Data, in the week ending July 1, sales were up 20% as they sold 153,600, including downloads, vinyl, cassettes, etc., making it the top-selling song. In the week ending July 4, radio airplay was up 2% as they gained 28.3 million audience impressions.
