Last week, BTS conquered quite an few Billboard charts with their latest lone, "My Universe," a collaboration between the South Korean powerhouses and U.K.-based pop-rock four Coldplay. The tune cursed in at Nobelium. 1 on rankings like the Stifling 100 and a issue of rock-related lists thanks primarily to its immediate success when it came to fans purchasing the cut. "My Creation" arrived at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales ranking with 127,000 copies sold, and this frame, it's steady on top formerly over again.

With one more workweek at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart to their credit, BTS have broken proscribed of a splice with one of the most victorious musicians of all time and proved, corresponding never before, that they fanny still trade music in an industriousness that has largely moved on from purchasing and focused heavily on streaming.

As "My Population" leads the charge over again, BTS collect their xl-twenty percent workweek at No. 1 along the Member Song Gross revenue chart. That's not just an amazing come, it's the most dazzling sum ever. With another frame in charge of the buy in-only list, the septet breaks out of a tie with Taylor Swift. Last period, the two names were on the identical level as one some other with 44 weeks on top, but nowadays, after geezerhood of claiming this piece of history, Swift has been pushed to second shoes.

Until now, the singer-songwriter has sent 22 variant tracks to the pinnacle. That's the most among all acts out and away, and she remains the only refer to fall 20 or more leadership. BTS have only pushed nine tunes to the peak emplacement—enough to tie them with Bruno Mars and Beyoncé for the 7th-most ever.

Swift's No. 1 hits on the Member Song Sales chart only average fortnight on top, piece BTS's smashes are ostensibly much more stable. The K-pop band's successes live at No. 1 for an average of v weeks apiece, though that number doesn't give credit to some of their biggest wins. BTS currently claim ii for the three longest-linear chart-toppers in the history of the ranking. Their disco-leaning cut "Dynamite" holds the record for the well-nig frames on the throne, with 18, while their own "Butter" is on the unvarying level as Luis Fonsi, Pa Yankee and Justin Bieber's "Despacito" for second place, with 17 weeks atop the tally all.
