BTS' Butter gave up the top spot to BTS's Permission to Dance.
On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which ranks the most popular songs in the United States, successive songs topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in succession.
This is the first time in 3 years since Drake in 2018, BTS won first place in Batong Touch.
Butter reached #7 this week, placing two songs in the top 10 on the Billboard Singles Chart.
From Dynamite last year to Permission to Dance this time, BTS topped the Billboard with 5 songs in just 10 months and 2 weeks, the shortest record in over 30 years since the King of Pop Michael Jackson.
In addition, the number of so-called #1 debut songs, where the new song immediately entered the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, also increased to four, which is the fourth after Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, and Drake.
The new song Permission to Dance is included on the CD containing butter, and Ed Sheeran, a world-famous singer-songwriter from England, participated in composing it.
It received good reviews for its choreography using international sign language and content mixed with hope that it could overcome the corona crisis.
BTS expressed their gratitude to the fans by posting a photo of them bowing out loudly.
