BTS' "Dynamite" spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
A week earlier, "Dynamite" debuted at the Hot 100's summit, marking the group's first No. 1 and the first leader on the list ever for an all-South Korean act.
"Dynamite," released on BigHit Entertainment/Columbia Records, continues atop the Hot 100 on the strength of 17.5 million U.S. streams (down 49%) and 182,000 downloads sold (down 31%) in the week ending Sept. 3, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It also drew 16 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 38%) in the week ending Sept. 6.
"Dynamite" spends a second week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart and drops 3-9 on Streaming Songs.
(Of the 43 songs that have entered the Hot 100 at No. 1 all-time, "Dynamite" is the 20th to have remained on top in its second week.)
Helping "Dynamite" in its second week of availability, "Poolside" and "Tropical" remixes of the song were released Aug. 28 and sale-priced to 69 cents during the tracking week. They joined the original version, EDM and acoustic remixes and an instrumental version (also each sale-priced to 69 cents during the week), released Aug. 21.
With 182,000 downloads sold in its second week after opening with 265,000 downloads sold in its first frame, "Dynamite" is the first song to have sold over 180,000 downloads in consecutive weeks in nearly four years, since The Chainsmokers' "Closer," featuring Halsey (208,000, Sept. 17, 2016; 199,000, Sept. 24, 2016).
"Dynamite" is additionally the first song to have sold over 180,000 downloads in its first two weeks of release (unlike "Closer") since Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!" (379,000, May 28, 2016; 204,000, June 4, 2016).
Plus, on the mainstream top 40-based Pop Songs radio airplay chart, BTS hits a new career-best rank, as "Dynamite" rises 20-18. The track also becomes the group's first entry on the adult top 40-based Adult Pop Songs airplay chart, where it debuts at No. 29.

I'm just in shock. I can't even imagine how they feel. 
EDIT: this is how they feel:

I wonder will this become a commonplace thing in K-pop in the future? In particular for groups that are seeking a placement on the chart? Obviously they'll never secure a position like BTS or even close, but you have to think having lots of discounted versions could help groups with decent sized fan-bases to push acts who struggle/just miss out to chart onto the Hot100.

YG is smart, in spite of some evidence to the contrary, so they might. They are also under UMG who are usually on top of this kind of thing.
No doubt about it this strategy will give a massive boost to charting potential and personally keeping my fingers crossed RR will have something like this in the works for my faves next comeback. This, combine with a radio spins deal and a Friday release and I'm confident we could secure a decent 1st time ranking.
But that's just a dream atm lmao.
