BTS Is Currently On Hiatus; They Still Chart The No. 1 Song In The World

BTS announced a hiatus a few months ago due to several members taking part in their mandatory military service. In South Korea, all men must fulfill this obligation by a certain age. While the band members are currently busy with their individual endeavors, their popularity and fan base remain unwavering. Demonstrating their global dominance once again, the internationally acclaimed South Korean boy band secures the top spot on the global Billboard charts, solidifying their status as the biggest band in the world.

BTS’s latest single “Take Two” debuts at No. 1 on the prestigious Billboard Global 200 chart. This accomplishment positions their song as the biggest and most consumed track in the world at the moment. The Billboard Global 200 ranks songs based on their overall sales and streaming data worldwide, providing a comprehensive view of the global music landscape.

This isn’t the first time BTS has conquered the summit of the Billboard Global 200. “Take Two” marks their seventh time reaching the No. 1 spot, surpassing every other musician or group in terms of chart-topping hits. With each achievement, BTS extends their lead, as no other act has managed to chart more than three songs at the pinnacle of this highly regarded chart.

Billboard reports that “Take Two” ascended to the No. 1 position on the Billboard Global 200 due to its remarkable performance from the moment it arrived. The song garnered 60.2 million streams globally, showcasing the massive streaming power of BTS’s dedicated fan base. Moreover, “Take Two” amassed a total of 64,000 copies sold worldwide within its first week of availability.

In a testament to BTS’s global appeal, “Take Two” managed to secure the top spot on not only the Billboard Global 200 but also the Billboard Global Excl. US chart. The latter ranking compiles the most-consumed songs globally, excluding all consumption data from the United States. This duality sheds light on the immense influence of the American music market, while also highlighting the diverse musical preferences of audiences worldwide.
