ARMY happy after BTS song Butter became the most downloaded song in America

K-pop supergroup BTS has won the honor of being the best-selling digital song of the year in the United States for the second time. “Butter” topped the charts in the country with 1.89 million downloads, according to the annual annual report jointly released by MRC Data and Billboard on Thursday (US Time), Yonhap news agency reported.

The group’s ‘Dynamite’ was the top seller in 2020 with 1.26 million sales.

The synopsis disco-pop song was released as the group’s second English-language song in May and topped the ‘Billboard Hot 100’ chart for 10 consecutive weeks. Only 40 songs, including ‘Butter’, have achieved the feat in Billboard’s history.

Walker Hayes’ Fancy Like came second in the year-end rankings, selling 499,000 downloads. ‘Butter’ was the only song to have been downloaded over 1 million times in the United States last year.

In fact, the South Korean group showed a strong presence in the digital song sales category. It occupied four of the top 10 positions, with ‘Dance Allowed’ in third place with 404,000 downloads; ‘Dynamite’ in sixth place with 308,000; and ‘My Universe’, a collaborative single with British rock band Coldplay, peaked at number seven with 287,000 downloads.

BTS also topped the best-selling physical albums list in 2020 with their fourth full-length album ‘Map of the Soul: 7’, but failed to hit the previous year’s list.
