Just a few weeks after Billboard launched its latest chart, only one name has claimed the No. 1 spot: BTS. The South Korean boy group has appeared in the penthouse every frame since the company introduced its Hot Trending Songs ranking, which lists the tracks that people on Twitter can’t stop talking about. This time around, the band’s “Butter” is steady at No. 1, while their other recent smash “Permission to Dance” closes out the top 10.
Just one new tune debuts inside the top 10 on this week’s Hot Trending Songs chart, and it’s by one of the members of the most successful act in the ranking’s short history.
Up from No. 7 to the runner-up space is NCT 127’s “Favorite,” the lead single from the re-released edition of their latest album Sticker. The cut nearly claims the top spot, but nobody could best BTS, at least not this frame. Right behind that win comes Mew Suppasit’s “Spaceman,” which is a non-mover at No. 3
Kazakh musician Dimash Kudaibergen enters the top five on the Hot Trending Songs chart for the first time with “Fly Away,” which last week opened at No. 6 and this frame rises to No. 4. Also new to the upper half of the top 10 on the tally is SB19’s “Bazinga.” The Filipino boy band’s latest smash arrived at No. 9 last period and is now present at No. 5.
The sole debut inside the top 10 on this week’s Hot Trending Songs chart comes from Jin, one of the seven members of BTS. The singer’s solo hit “Yours” has quickly become a standalone smash on a number of Billboard lists, and he becomes the first musician from the globe-dominating act to appear inside the upper reaches of this ranking on his own.
