The game of musical chairs continues between revolving chart-toppers BTS and Cardi B.
Nearly a month ago (as we reported here), the Korean septet unseated Cardi’s Megan Thee Stallion-assisted hit, ‘WAP,’ from the top of charts – a short-lived reign that ended just two weeks later when the GRAMMY winner reclaimed the throne.
Though holding tight to the top spot for the two weeks that followed, this week saw ‘WAP’ sink to #2 thanks to an aggressive promo campaign launched by the ‘Dynamite’ singers.
Delivering explosive showings on the likes of ‘America’s Got Talent,’ NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk Concert,’ and more, BTS filled in the blanks with a number of discounts and alternate versions of their hit – a move that collectively added up to just enough steam to push Cardi and co. from the Hot 100’s summit.
