BTS once again makes history by extending its record. The band’s latest single Butter has been at No.1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for over a month now. They just added another week to their record. Butter has charted on BB Hot 100 for 5 weeks now.

The song released on May 21 and has been charting since. The FESTA (June) month started with Butter’s debut at No.1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart earning the band their fourth peak. ARMYs were planning on giving this No.1 as a gift to BTS on their eighth anniversary and they didn’t just manage to do that, but it has also been on No.1 for five weeks now.

Butter is the first song since Ed Sheeran’s Shape of you in 2017 to achieve more than 100,000 sales in each of its first 5 weeks of release.

With Butter, BTS now holds the record for first number 1 debut by a single group in Billboard Hot 100 history to be on the top spot for five continuous weeks. Also, the last band to hold the record was Aerosmith, with their song ‘I Don’t want to miss a Thing’ that came out in 1998. It is just the 11th song in Billboard Hot 100 history to debut at No.1 and spend the first 5 weeks on the top spot.
