BTS & Megan Thee Stallion, possibly 2021’s most unlikely pairing, have seen their names propelled to the top of real-time sales tallies worldwide thanks to their updated joint take on the former’s smash, ‘Butter.’
Could it be just what the doctor ordered to push the song back to the top of the Hot 100?
Released August 27 (as we reported here), the tune almost hit the cutting room floor after Stallion’s label tried to halt its unveiling – to no avail.
Upon its release, the song rocketed to the top of iTunes in over 70 countries including the United States, United Arab Emirates, Mexico, Norway, Turkey, Australia, and more. At writing, it remains the week’s hottest-selling song in the world – besting the likes of The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber‘s ‘Stay,’ Ed Sheeran‘s ‘Bad Habits,’ The Weeknd‘s ‘Take My Breath,’ and other current global megahits.
With the blazing start in sales and streaming, ‘Butter’ – which is already the year’s longest-running Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper – could add yet another week to its reign thanks to the Hot Girl Coach.
If accomplished, it will mark Stallion’s third race to the top following 2020’s ‘Savage’ and ‘WAP.’
