The boys of BTS are surely in the stars tonight as they are the first all-South Korean act to top the Billboard Hot 100 for “Dynamite.”
“Dynamite” is the group’s first song fully recorded in English.
BTS also performed the song at the MTV Video Music Awards, where they won all the categories they were nominated in. They took home the awards for Best Group, Pop, K-Pop, and Choreography for “On.” “On” reached the No. 4 in the Billboard Hot 100 last March.
According to Billboard, “‘Dynamite,’ released Aug. 21 at midnight ET, roars in with 33.9 million U.S. streams and 300,000 sold in its first week, ending Aug. 27, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It also drew 11.6 million radio airplay audience impressions in the week ending Aug. 30.”
The website added, “BTS earns its first Hot 100 No. 1, and fourth top 10, among 12 visits to the chart. The group previously reached the top 10 with “On” (No. 4, where it debuted, this March); “Boy With Luv,” featuring Halsey (No. 8 debut/peak, April 2019); and “Fake Love” (No. 10 debut/peak, June 2018). The act first appeared on the chart dated Oct. 7, 2017, with “DNA.””
BTS boasts four career No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart and holds the records for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Social 50 chart.
