\n\t\u201c\u2018Butter,\u2019 you know, it\u2019s summer,\u201d BTS<\/a>\u2019 RM told\u00a0Billboard<\/a> in 2021.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s very, kind of like seasoning. It\u2019s [an] upbeat, fresh dance-pop track, a summer anthem. Just all positive vibes and upbeat energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe celebratory song glided in atop the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> dated June 5, 2021. It went to become not just a summer anthem, but that year\u2019s biggest, ruling the chart for 10 weeks and wrapping atop<\/a> the Songs of the Summer recap.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cButter\u201d became BTS\u2019 fourth Hot 100 No. 1 in a span of exactly nine months, dating to its first, \u201cDynamite,\u201d on the Sept. 5, 2020, tally. The act ruled again with \u201cSavage Love (Laxed \u2013 Siren Beat),\u201d with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo, that October and \u201cLife Goes On\u201d that December. Among groups, BTS completed the fastest run to four initial No. 1s since the Jackson 5 in 1970.<\/p>\n

\n\tBTS has since added another three Hot 100 toppers, including two more in 2021: \u201cPermission To Dance,\u201d that July (interrupting the reign of \u201cButter\u201d), and \u201cMy Universe,\u201d with Coldplay, that October. Upon the latter\u2019s coronation, the group had landed six No. 1s over a year and a month-plus. That marked the quickest accumulation of six leaders since The Beatles over a year and two weeks in 1964-66.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis April, BTS \u201cSwim\u201d cannonballed in at No. 1<\/a> on the Hot 100. Simultaneously, parent album ARIRANG launched at No. 1<\/a> on the Billboard 200. The ARIRANG World Tour kicked off April 10, propelling the group to the summit of Billboard Boxscore\u2019s April Top Tours<\/a> recap.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the same Billboard interview in 2021, in which BTS stoked anticipation for its live premiere<\/a> of \u201cButter\u201d on that year\u2019s Billboard Music Awards, the group\u2019s Suga reflected on the 2013 debut of septet\u2019s debut release, and its future. \u201cEight years feels quite a short time for me,\u201d he considered. \u201cI initially thought it was long, but looking back, it feels short. And I think there\u2019s so much left for us to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
