The single ‘Dynamite’, released by BTS before ‘Butter’, was ranked number one for three weeks.

The number of times they have topped the Hot 100 so far includes ‘Dynamite’, ‘Life goes on’, ‘Savage Love’, a collaboration song with Jason Derulo, and ‘Butter’ for a total of 10 times. Billboard said, “There are only 54 songs in Billboard history that entered the Top 100 on the Hot 100. This is a 15% increase from the previous week and 14 times higher than Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Good for You’ (9,200 cases), the second place.

BTS has also announced the release of a CD with additional new songs along with ‘Butter’ on the 9th of next month.
