The group BTS topped the US Billboard Singles Chart for 4 weeks in a row with their second English song 'Butter'.



Billboard announced that BTS' 'Butter' topped the main single chart 'Hot 100' this week.



As a result, 'Butter', released on the 21st of last month, maintained the top of the Hot 100 for 4 weeks, the longest period among BTS songs, and broke the record of the first English song 'Dynamite', which ranked first on the Hot 100 for 3 weeks last year.



The number of BTS's Hot 100 number one has increased to 9 times, from 'Dynamite' to 3 times, the featured song 'Savage Love' remix once, and the Korean song 'Life Gos On' once to 'Butter'.



Since the release of the album, only 54 songs have gone straight to the top of the Hot 100 in the entire Billboard history, and among these songs, there are only 13 songs, including 'Butter', that have maintained the No.



It is also the first time as a group since the rock band Aerosmith's 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' in September 1998.



The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the most popular songs in the United States by adding up indicators such as the number of streams, music sales, and radio broadcasts.



'Butter' succeeded in maintaining the No. 1 spot by maintaining high sales volume even in the 4th week.



According to Billboard, "Butter" recorded 111,400 downloads from the 11th to the 17th of this chart's aggregation period, which is 11 times more than the 2nd song with only 9,600.



In addition, in radio broadcasting, the number of radio listeners of 'Butter' increased by 6% from last week to 25.8 million, and the 'Radio Music' chart ranking also rose three places from 28th to 25th.



The number of streaming was 12.5 million, down 19% from the previous week.



The BTS members expressed their feelings on the official Twitter, saying, "Thank you so much to the ARMY fan club for being number one on the Billboard for 4 weeks in a row."



'Butter' is also at the top of the UK official single chart representing the pop market along with Billboard, ranking 13th in the 3rd week of release and 23rd in the 4th week.
