BTS notched the No. 1 spot on Oricon’s five-year single ranking with its 2021 hit single, “Butter,” according to Big Hit Music on Friday.
The single claimed the top spot on the chart that spanned over five years of the country’s Reiwa era. In 2020, the group’s “Dynamite” ranked No. 4 on the chart.
It is the first time ever for an international artist to top the periodic era ranking, the label added.
“Butter” made a hot-shot debut on Billboard’s Hot 100 and stayed atop the main singles chart for seven weeks before reclaiming the spot three more times. The summer song stayed on the chart for 23 weeks in a row.
The septet performed it at the 2022 Grammy Awards and the live performance made “The 30 Greatest Grammy Performances of All Time” list by Rolling Stone magazine last year.
