Serving as Coldplay’s second-ever Hot 100 chart-topper and the group’s first since 2008’s ‘Viva La Vida,’ ‘Universe’ stands as BTS’ sixth on the coveted count. Perhaps most notable is that all six of the K-Pop ensemble’s #1s have been achieved since September 2020.

So, how do the numbers stack up?

‘Universe’ amassed 11.5 million U.S. streams and 5.5 million radio airplay audience impressions.
