LAS VEGAS, NV – May 01: BTS performs on stage during the 2019 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand. … [+]
BTS is now in the business of blocking itself from the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Korean pop septate this week launched a new “Savage Love (Luxed – Siren Beat)” remix (one voice and one instrument) with Jason Derulo and Jashsh the5 topping the singles charts, dynamite with their previous chart-topper. ”Claims at No. 2 spot. “Savage Love” also topped the Billboard Global 200, making BTS the first work to earn multiple No. 1 hits on a new chart. The Superstar Boy Band also became the fifth group to simultaneously occupy the top two spots on the Hot 100, joining a prestigious club that includes the Beatles, Bee Geese, Outcast and Black Eyed Peas.
The chart-topping success of “Savage Love” is a surprising, multicultural achievement on many levels. It is a well-earned victory for Josh, born in Jahosh 685, whose “Lakshmid – Siren Beat” ticketed earlier this year. The 17-year-old New Zealand stage moniker is a tribute to her Samoan and Cook Island origins, as “685” is the Samoan calling gender code, and her song “Siren Jams” is usually blasted from a car or New Zealand and others. Bike speakers in the Pacific Island regions. Derulo hit the floor in May when he sampled “Luxed – Siren Beat” on Tiktok without obtaining clearance or crediting Jashsh 685, and people feared the newborn producer’s contribution would be erased as the song continued to gain momentum. Instead, the Polynesian tee is happily collecting her first number one hit on the Hot 100 this week with a South Korean boy band, similar to the “Savage Love” -based chorus.
BTS, meanwhile, continues to fulfill my September prediction that the No. 1 hits will become their new normal. Perhaps after seven consecutive weeks of “dynamite” placing itself in the top two places in the Hot 100, no one questions the group’s professionalism, “Savage Love” should put an end to their doubts once and for all. BTS’s latest chart-topper is even more remarkable than “Dynamite”, as it sings them in their native Korean, while they introduced “Dynamite” in full in English. Moreover, it uses traditional shifts in a way that BTS can affect the Hot 100 potential of the song.
Over the years, U.S. Radio ignored playing BTS because their stateside profile has been expanding. His collaborations with Western pop stars and producers helped him get on the radio and Hot 100. Steve Aoki’s “Mike Drop” remix became his first Top 40 hit (No. 28) in 2017, and became a Hussey-assisted “boy with love”. Ranked 8th last year, career best at the time. Other high charting hot 100 singles such as “Idol” (No. 11) and “On” (No. 4) were also with remixes featuring Nicki Minaj and Ciana respectively. This collaboration gave BTS legitimacy in the eyes of programmers, critics and casual listeners who denied its global popularity and hitmaking potential.
BTS took advantage of the specialty on their songs from the Western Western Stars. Now, the tables are turned again, and the seven-part Korean boy band is the kingmaker on the Hot 100.
For proof, look no further than the sale of “Savage Love”. Trek sold 76,000,000 digital downloads this week, an increase of 8114% over the previous week, and ranked second on the digital song sales chart behind the silly “dynamite” (94,000,000). “Savage Love” has maintained a strong radio presence and reached number 5 on this week’s Radio Songs chart, thanks in large part to the original version. But, according to Billboard, Most of this week’s sales came from the BTS remix while BTS and non-BTS were evenly distributed between versions. Billboard It eventually ruled that “its overall activity during the period supports Javash 685 / Derulo / BTS versions so BTS is now officially listed on the Hot 100 as the Bill Act on the song for the first time.” Incidentally, “Savage Love” also enjoyed the biggest jump to No. 1 on the Hot 100 (8-1), as the weekend’s “hearty” rose to 32-1 last December.
The reason for the “Savage Love” chart bump is simple, even if it is surprising Atheist: BTS fans support BTS music. Pop music is an inherently volatile industry, and a few precious artists have enough name recognition and the power to rock at No. 1 just by showing a star song on it. BTS – and, by extension, the passionate BTS is an exception to the ARMY rule. When news of the “Savage Love” remix broke, fans rallied to help BTS get another No. 1 in less than two months and simultaneously occupied the top two slots on the Hot 100.
That’s not to say Each A song with BTS feature will automatically go to No. 1; It is an unrealistic and unbearable expectation. What he says, however, is that BTS has a midas touch when it comes to breaking new ground. The success of “Savage Love” was a complete storm of ticket ok virality, a radio-friendly makeover of the tentpole pop star (Derulo), and a guest voice by the world’s largest group at its commercial peak. BTS is still following the success of “Dynamite” as they prepare to release their new album, B.E., Next month; That he managed to hit No. 2 in the interim, which speaks to his almost unparalleled stardom and ever-growing fanbase. Don’t be surprised if BTS is now flooded with requests from other Western pop artists to show some love to their songs – otherwise.
