“It’s the 7 again”: ARMY’s congratulate BTS as Take Two lands at number one on Billboard's Global 200 + Global Excl. U.S.

BTS have cracked yet another Billboard achievement with their latest song, Take Two. On June 21, Billboard officially announced that the septet’s recent anniversary special song debuted at the first spot on both Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts.

The charts rank songs based on two factors: streaming and sales activity from around 200 regions around the world. The charts are a solid indicator of the song’s popularity on a global level, particularly Global Excl. U.S. charts gauge a song’s popularity outside America.

Take Two was released as a gift for ARMYs on Bangtan’s 10th debut anniversary. It was written by 94-liners RM and J-hope and composed by SUGA and EL CAPITXN, with the vocal line members participating in the song. The song was released on June 9, a month before ARMY Day, which is on July 9, and encapsulates BTS and ARMYs ten years together and how they are ready to usher in a new chapter in the septet’s career.

BTS breaks multiple Billboard records with their latest song Take Two

BTS is the first act with seven number-one songs on Billboard’s Global 200 singles chart, more than double the next artist. The Bangtan singers have also become the first artist in the aforementioned chart’s history to rank a new song at number one every year since Billboard first launched the chart in 2020.

The only other artist who ranks number one every year is Mariah Carey with her Christmas song, - All I Want for Christmas Is You, which ranks first on U.S. charts every holiday season as the nation’s favorite Christmas song.

ARMYs are unsurprisingly proud of the Bangtan members and have taken to social media to react to their latest Billboard achievement. "It’s the 7 again," "As Expected BTS," "BTS is back," and "Tannies" are currently trending worldwide on Twitter.

Additionally, the Take Two singers are the only artists to score number one on the Global Excl. U.S. chart every single year. The septet has outstretched its own record with the most No. 1 songs on the Global 200. They first topped the Billboard chart with their disco-pop song Dynamite, followed by Savage Love, Life Goes On, Butter, Permission to Dance, My Universe, and now Take Two is the seventh addition to this list.

Bad Bunny is the second artist to have scored the most number-one hits on the Billboard Global 200, with three songs. BTS is also the first artist to rank seven new songs at the number one spot on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, having topped the chart with the same seven songs as the Global 200. BLACKPINK comes in second for having charted three songs at number one on the Global Excl. U.S.
