"Bangtan Style": BTS becomes the 1st and only act in history to have a song reaching #1 on World Digital Song Sales chart consecutively for 9 years

In the absence of K-pop sensation BTS, a significant accomplishment has surfaced regarding their standing on the World Digital Song Charts, a global ranking system administered by the renowned organization Billboard.

As of January 30, 2024, the most recent disclosure indicates that nine years in a row, at least one of the group's songs has remained at the top of the charts.

This achievement not only sets them apart but also establishes them as the first and only artist in history to attain such a feat. What makes this accomplishment even more noteworthy is that, during the past nine years, there have been two years where the group was not actively promoting together. Despite this hiatus, the consistent chart-topping performance is what defined BTS in the global music scene.
