BTS' 'Dynamite' Adds to Record Run Atop Billboard's Global Charts
BTS' "Dynamite" returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and holds atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. survey.
The song has now led both lists simultaneously for four total weeks, the longest double domination of any title. It rules the Global 200 for a record-tying fourth week and the Global Excl. U.S. chart for a record-extending eighth frame.
Record-Tying 4th Week atop Global 200
BTS' "Dynamite" rules the Billboard Global 200 for a fourth week despite a 3% drop to 55.6 million streams and a 15% dip to 18,000 sold worldwide in the Jan. 1-7 tracking week. The song matches the reign of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" for the longest since the chart premiered. ("Christmas" departs the chart this week directly from No. 1; a week earlier, it added its fourth frame on top, with the Jan. 9-dated ranking having reflected the Dec. 25-31 tracking week.)
Bad Bunny and Jhay Cortez's "Dákiti" holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, after three weeks at No. 1, with a worldwide-best 64.1 million streams in the tracking period.
Record-Extending 8th Week atop Global Excl. U.S.
BTS' "Dynamite" remains in the top spot on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, with 48.3 million streams (down 3%) and 15,000 sold (down 7%) in territories outside the U.S. in the Jan. 1-7 tracking week. The song reigns for a record-extending eighth total week.
"Dynamite" has now led the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts simultaneously for four total frames, the longest concurrent rule of any title. It surpasses Bad Bunny and Jhay Cortez's "Dákiti," which has topped both charts simultaneously for three weeks.
------------------------------------
Its interesting that Dynamite is still selling so much, almost 5 months after release, with no army push or no new remixes released.
