For years now, BTS has ranked as perhaps the most successful musical act of all time on one Billboard tally. The South Korean boy band has earned multiple records on the World Digital Song Sales chart, including the most No. 1s and well over 100 top 10 smashes. Thanks to a new live album from the newly-reformed group, BTS doesn’t just return to the purchase-focused list — it dominates it in a way rarely seen on any Billboard roster.
BTS Dominates the World Digital Song Sales Chart
This week, BTS completely owns the World Digital Song Sales chart. The tally only features 10 spaces, and the septet fills all of them, not allowing any other name to appear. All 10 of the boy band’s wins at the moment are brand new, as they all come from the group’s newly-released album Permission to Dance On Stage (Live).
A Record-Extending No. 1 Smash
BTS earns a record-extending thirty-ninth No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales chart, as “Permission to Dance (Live)” launches in first place. The group’s latest roundup of new wins includes live renditions of some of its most famous singles, such as “On,” “Black Swan,” “Fake Love,” and “Life Goes On.” In many instances, the studio versions of those cuts also performed incredibly well on the same tally, and now the live takes — which are counted separately from the first editions — are successes in their own right.
More Than 100 Top 10 Bestsellers
Throughout the years, BTS has pushed 158 tunes to the World Digital Song Sales chart. When the group first began appearing on the roster, it featured 25 spaces, though some time ago, Billboard shortened it to just 10. The troupe has scored 127 placements within the top 10, including all 10 new arrivals this time around.
Permission to Dance On Stage (Live) also brings BTS to No. 1 on the related World Albums chart. The live set is also a top new title on both the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales rankings as well.
