K-Pop band BTS’s new single Butter has made it to the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.Butter is their fourth chart-topping single to date.

We released Butter to bring a fun song that anyone can enjoy. We’re happy and honoured that the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 again. We wouldn’t have gotten our fourth chart topping song without everyone’s love and support. Thank you for enjoying ‘Butter’ and we will keep working hard to deliver refreshing and passionate music, the group said in a statement.
