BTS “It’s ours, but it’s absolutely yours”… 1st place on the ‘Billboard Hot 100 Chart’ for 10 consecutive weeks

BTS’ ‘Butter’ has become the longest-running song on Billboard’s main single chart this year. ‘Butter’ surpassed the record held by Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Drivers License’ (8 weeks in total) and became the title of ‘The longest-running Hot 100 song of the year’. Released on May 21st, two and a half months after release, ‘Butter’ has not missed the first place, except for one week, when it handed over the first place to another BTS song ‘Permission to Dance’. At the same time as the release, it ranked first for 7 weeks in a row, and after passing the top baton to ‘Permission to Dance’ last month, returned to write a record of keeping the top for 2 weeks in a row. ‘Butter’ and ‘Permission to Dance’ took the first place alternately, and BTS’s dominance in the Hot 100 continues for the longest 10 weeks. 
BTS’ Hot 100 No. 1 songs are ‘Dynamite’ (3 times), ‘Savage Love’ Remix (1), ‘Life Gos On’ (1), ‘Permission to Dance’ (1), and ‘Butter’ ( 9), etc., increased to total 15. As a result, two BTS songs entered the top 10 for three weeks in a row.
For the previous nine weeks, Rodrigo’s ‘Good 4 U’ was a competitive song, but during this chart counting period, American rapper Lil Nas X’s new song ‘Industry Baby’ competed for the top spot with ‘Butter’. ‘Industry Baby’ recorded 40.6 million streams, five times more than ‘Butter’. However, ‘Butter’ in sales volume exceeded 10 times that of ‘Industry Baby’. ‘Industry Baby’ sold 19,900 copies in one week.
