BTS earns their first entry into the Billboard Hot 100 with "DNA," which has debuted at No. 85! BTS is the second K-pop act, following Psy, to have a Korean-language song chart on the Hot 100. “DNA” is the title track for BTS’s latest album, Love Yourself: Her. Before "DNA," "Spring Day" was their closest track to enter the Hot 100 when it peaked at No. 15 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart earlier this year.
The seven-member South Korean boy band adds to its haul this week, earning its first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart: “DNA,” from the new album, debuts at No. 85, fueled by 5.3 million first-week U.S. streams and 14,000 downloads sold, the latter total also good for a No. 37 debut on the Digital Song Sales chart, where BTS also makes its first appearance. (The Hot 100 blends streaming, sales and radio airplay data.)
