Hello, everyone. I was inspired by dizzcity to make an analysis of BTS' charting on Gaon Digital from debut-now.
I did a b-side line chart, singles line chart, and a combined line chart. I tried to vary colors to make it visually accessible and interesting.
If you want to ask me the data for a specific song, go ahead!

- * = still charting
- N.O, despite not showing up on the graph, peaked at #92 for one week.
- Make It Right is only counted for the Persona version, not the Lauv collab.
- Fire, despite having the 4th shortest time in the top 100 out of their singles, has proven to be one of their most enduring hits. (4.2M Melon ULs, over 700M YT views, 175M+ Spotify streams, etc.)
- Run charted in the top 100 for a longer time in the top 100 than INU, though INU is more remembered today.
- ON, despite the lowered amount of listeners due to COVID, charted for only 2 weeks less than FAKE LOVE (and has more weeks in Melon top 100 than Fake Love). It's really not a flop at all.
- Their turning point for longevity was the release of Blood Sweat & Tears.
- Seeing IDOL's and DNA's longevity, I wonder why people don't consider either of them among the top hits of 3rd gen, especially DNA.
