BTS Narrowly Misses No. 1 Spot On World Digital Chart

BTS holds record for most No. 1 hits on the chart with 37.

BTS, the popular South Korean boy band, continues to make waves on the music scene despite not releasing new music recently. Their track '2! 3!' has made a strong comeback on this week's World Digital Song Sales chart, landing at an impressive No. 2 position.

Although BTS narrowly missed the top spot, they hold the record for the most No. 1 hits in the history of the ranking, with an impressive 37 chart-toppers. Their loyal fan base has been instrumental in supporting the group during their hiatus, keeping them in the spotlight.

Tyla, a South African musician, reclaimed the No. 1 position on the chart with her single 'Water,' which recently earned her a Grammy award. Despite falling short of the top spot this week, BTS remains a dominant force on the World Digital Song Sales chart.

'2! 3!' had previously reached No. 1 on the chart in November 2018 and has now made its mark once again, showcasing the enduring popularity of BTS's music. The track's return to the chart demonstrates the band's consistent appeal to fans worldwide.

Alongside BTS and Tyla, K-pop girl group Le Sserafim also made their mark on the chart with their debut entry 'Smart' at No. 9. Tyla's other hit, 'Truth or Dare,' also re-entered the chart at No. 8, further diversifying the lineup of top-performing songs.

While BTS may not have clinched the top spot this week, their recent resurgence on the World Digital Song Sales chart with 'Fake Love' highlights their enduring popularity and the unwavering support of their dedicated fan base. The group's consistent presence on the charts underscores their status as one of the most successful acts in the music industry.
