BTS Beats Their Own Record

Jun 22, 2021 | 6:00 AM

BTS’ “Butter” adds a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, becoming the K-Pop group’s longest leading chart topper.

It bests the three-week rule of “Dynamite,” its first No. 1, in September-October.

According to Billboard, the track, released on May 21st, is just the 13th single to spend at least its first four weeks on the chart in the top spot. It’s the first song to earn the honor since Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” spent its first eight weeks at the top of the chart, starting in January.
