“It’s all thanks to #BTSARMY!”
This is a post from BTS’ Twitter account as the K-pop superstars’ single “Butter” garnered the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the fifth consecutive week.
Billboard reported that “Butter,” released on May 21, is on top of Hot 100 for the July-3 dated chart, “encompassing its entire run on the chart so far, dating to its debut in the top spot.”
The Hot 100 chart is based on US streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales.

Billboard added that “Butter” is the 11th song to stay at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for at least five weeks among 54 tracks that debuted at No. 1 on the chart.
“It's the first to earn the honor since Olivia Rodrigo's ‘Drivers License’ logged its first eight frames on the Hot 100 in the pole position beginning in January. Only one song by a group has topped the Hot 100 for more weeks from its debut than ‘Butter’: Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's ‘One Sweet Day,’ which spent its first 16 weeks on the chart at No. 1 in 1995-96, a record reign from a song's entrance among all titles,” according to Billboard.
It added, “Notably, ‘Butter’ has sold at least 100,000 in each of its first five weeks (128,400, after 111,400, 138,400, 140,200 and, in its debut week, 242,800). It's the first song to link such a streak since Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's ‘Despacito,’ featuring Justin Bieber, cleared 100,000 in 12 consecutive weeks in May-August 2017. ‘Butter’ is the first song to sell more than 100,000 in each of its first five weeks of release since Ed Sheeran's ‘Shape of You,’ which did so in its first five frames in March-April 2017.”
“Butter” also topped the Digital Song Sales chart for five consecutive weeks, climbed to 18th place from 24th on Streaming Songs and rose to 22nd from 25th place on Radio Songs.
