The race for the No. 1 spot on the Warm 100 this week was nearer than it has been in a even though, as Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow manufactured a serious enjoy to debut their collaboration “Industry Baby” atop the all-encompassing list of the most-consumed tracks in the U.S. The pair miss out by just 1 rung, dropping the fight to BTS’s unstoppable “Butter,” which so considerably in its profitable run at No. 1 has only relented to make area for another monitor by the identical band.
As “Butter” earns yet another continue to be in the Very hot 100’s penthouse, the tune becomes the longest-operating leader of 2021 and can help BTS break out of a tie with Olivia Rodrigo for the most months invested in first spot on the tally so much this calendar year, but the track itself also hits an critical milestone. The summer smash has now been current on the ranking for 10 weeks, which stays a extremely scarce accomplishment for any piece of tunes pushed by a musical act from South Korea.
In simple fact, “Butter” is a person of only 6 music by South Korean musicians to spend 10 months (or a lot more) on the Hot 100, and by achieving double-digit frames on the record, the cut ties with a different track from the same septet and earns the honor of getting a single of the fifth-longest-charting releases by an act from that aspect of the entire world.
With 10 weeks spent on the Scorching 100 previously, “Butter” is now tied with fellow BTS strike “Mic Fall,” which also put in 10 turns on the tally in advance of falling off. That observe, a collaboration with rapper Desiigner, was a key get for the band, as it was a scarce prime 40 hit amid South Korean artists when it peaked at No. 28 again in 2017.
BTS also declare the longest-charting music among the productions released by South Korean musicians, as their disco-leaning keep track of “Dynamite” broke the all-time file previous calendar year when the No. 1 smash reached 32 months on the tally. That topped the previous best showing by K-pop functions by a one frame, as Psy’s “Gangnam Style” when lived on the Hot 100 for 31 durations.
At existing, Pinkfong’s viral feeling “Baby Shark” stays the 3rd-longest-charting Hot 100 hit by a South Korean musical act of any variety (Pinkfong is kind of a band/model hybrid), with 20 weeks used on the record. Yet another Psy tune, “Gentleman,” used 15 frames on the roster in advance of disappearing.
Viewing as “Butter” is continue to jogging the clearly show on the Hot 100, there’s no telling how much for a longer period it will uncover space on the chart. The cut will likely continue on to rule, and then its decrease may be slow. Billboard has a rule in spot that will likely remove it from the tally must it tumble beneath No. 50 (after paying out 20 weeks on the listing), but in advance of it reaches that issue, it could quickly rewrite this rating a number of more instances.
