“It earns both artists their first career solo entries on the chart,” it posted on Twitter.

Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” is No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart this week.

In addition, “Vibe” is No. 2 on Billboard’s top-selling songs this week.

“Vibe” also debuted at No. 9 on Billboard Global Excl. US chart “with 40.2 million streams and 22,000 sold outside the U.S.”

“Taeyang achieves his first solo entry on the ranking, having appeared as a soloist on Billboard surveys since 2010, while the group in which he broke through, Big Bang, debuted and peaked at No. 3 last April with ‘Still Life,’” Billboard reported.

In addition, “Jimin becomes the fourth member of BTS to have hit the chart’s top 10 as a soloist.”

“The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the U.S,” according to Billboard.

It added, “Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.”
