On 10 April 2021, “Dynamite” by BTS (South Korea) spent an 18th non-consecutive week at No.1 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart, thus eclipsing the 17-week chart-topper “Despacito”, by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber, in 2017.


“Dynamite” debuted at No.1 on the chart dated 5 September 2020 and remained in pole position for nine weeks in a row. It returned to No.1 on 14 September 2020 (1 week) and again on 2 January 2021 (2 weeks) before its ongoing chart-topping run began on 6 March 2021 (6 weeks as of 10 April). “Despacito” first topped Digital Song Sales on 13 May 2017 (1 week) before its 16 successive weeks at the top from 27 May to 9 September 2017.

In 2020, BTS occupied the top two positions on Digital Song Sales on a record four separate occasions: 7 March (“ON” and “My Time”); 17 October (“Dynamite” and the remix of “Savage Love (Laxed - Siren Beat)”); 5 December (“Life Goes On” and “Blue & Grey”); 19 December (“Life Goes On” and “Dynamite”). On 5 December 2020, BTS held the first six positions simultaneously, with “Life Goes On”, “Blue & Grey”, “Stay” “Telepathy”, “Dis-ease” and “Fly to My Room”. All six tracks were new entries that week.

Digital Song Sales debuted on 22 January 2005 and ranks the best-selling digital songs in the US, as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan.
