“My Universe” (Coldplay x BTS) lands at No. 1 on Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Songs chart! This marks BTS’ first No. 1, and they become the first Korean act to top the chart.
Congratulations BTS!
“My Universe” is a pop-funk love song — “You, you are, my universe/And I, just want to put you first” — with arena ambitions; it’s co-written and co-produced by the Top 40 luminary Max Martin. The track amassed just 8.5 million streams, but like many BTS singles, it sold an impressive number of downloads, over 136,000. Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy,” which features Future and Young Thug, earned roughly three times as many streams, but only 4,100 downloads, falling to Number Two.
