New York: BTS’ new English single Butter is now sitting atop the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, unseating Olivia Rodrigo’s Good 4 U, which held the spot last week.
The song marks the superstar South Korean septet’s fourth Hot 100 No. 1, all in the last nine months, marking any act’s quickest accumulation of four initial leaders since Justin Timberlake a decade-and-a-half ago. Among groups, BTS has landed its first four No. 1s the fastest since the Jackson 5 in 1970.
BTS has now also become the seventh artists to earn their first four Hot 100 No. 1 in less than a year, joining the likes of The Beatles and Mariah Carey, according to Billboard.
The song starts with the highest weekly worldwide streams and sales since the surveys began last September. Plus, BTS adds its fourth and third No. 1 on each respective ranking, the most of all acts so far.
