BTS makes Billboard history by dominating top two spots on Hot 100 chart

It’s no secret BTS is dynamite on the music charts — and as of Monday, the South Korean boy band has made Billboard history by landing at both No. 1 and No. 2 on the Hot 100.

With “Savage Love� beating out “Dynamite� for the top spot, BTS is the first group to achieve such a feat since the Black Eyed Peas dominated the Hot 100 with “Boom Boom Pow� and “I Gotta Feeling� for four weeks in the summer of 2009.

Jason Derulo, Jawsh 685 and BTS dropped their “Savage Love (Laxed — Siren Beat)� remix earlier this month, while the K-pop sensation‘s hit single “Dynamite� arrived at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in September. The latter — which also happened to be members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook’s first No. 1 track (if you can believe it) — previously held the top position for three nonconsecutive weeks.

“Savage Love� also marks Derulo’s second No. 1 — 11 years after 2009’s “Whatcha Say� — and Jawsh 685’s first.

According to Billboard, “‘Savage Love’ drew 16 million U.S. streams (up 32%) and sold 76,000 downloads (up 814%) in the week ending Oct. 8. It also tallied 70.6 million radio airplay audience impressions in the week ending Oct. 11.�

Other than BTS and the Black Eyed Peas, only three other groups — OutKast, the Bee Gees and the Beatles — have clinched both first and second place on the Hot 100 in the same week.

Coming in at No. 3 on the latest chart is Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s sex-positive banger, “WAP,� followed by 24kGoldn’s “Mood� and Drake’s “Laugh Now, Cry Later� rounding out the top five. “WAP� previously ruled the chart for four nonconsecutive weeks after its splashy August debut.

Other tracks that made the top-10 cut include the Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,� DaBaby and Roddy Ricch’s “Rockstar,� Gabby Barrett and Charlie Puth’s “I Hope,� 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s “Runnin� and 21 Savage, Metro Boomin and Drake’s “Mr. Right Now.�

This summer, “Dynamite� also made history as BTS’ first song sung entirely in English, released in an effort to “have as many people as possible hear it and get a little bit of reassurance and healing from it,� according to Suga.

“As soon as we heard it, we thought it was really fun and exciting, a fun and cheery song that wasn’t that serious,� RM added at an August press conference. “It just made us feel good when we heard it. We really wanted to share this energy with the fans as soon as possible.�
