BTS' “Butter” has racked up 1.5 billion streams on Spotify, Big Hit Music announced Thursday.
It is the group's third song to accomplish the feat, after “Dynamite” and the Coldplay collaboration “My Universe.”
The group dropped “Butter” in May 2021. It went on to rank No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, as its fourth chart-topper, and spent 10 weeks atop the main songs chart. The music video for the dance number amassed 1.1 billion views on YouTube as of July.
With the digital single, BTS clinched a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2022. In Japan, the single earned diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association in 2024, accumulating 500 million plays.
Meanwhile, the group is set to wrap up the US leg of its “Arirang” tour in Los Angeles with shows this weekend.
