Success with the single "Dynamite" and the song "Life Goes On" which was released last year, BTS (Bangtan Boys) released the single "Butter" on 21 May. The single is now believed to be topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
You could say, the competition for first place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart is quite tough. BTS released "Butter" the same week as popular singers like Katy Perry, Migos, Lil Nas X, Pink, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and several others releasing new music on May 14 and 21.
Even so, looking at the provisional acquisition of the single "Butter," BTS is believed to still be able to beat them all and top the charts. A post on the online community site Theqoo also highlights this.
This post contains score predictions for this week's Billboard Hot 100 chart. On the list, "Butter" is predicted to take first place followed by "good 4 u," "deja vu," "Levitating," and "Leave the Door Open." This post also drew comments from other netizens.

"Given the huge scale of the fandom, there is no reason to separate the public and the fandom, if the scale of the fandom is large, it is the public," commented the netizen. "If the population is 5,000 people, but there are 4,000 BTS fans, then it's public ... How do you know that the public and the fandom are separate?" said another netizen.
"Children who say that BTS only rely on fandom is sad ... In fact, the fact that the Korean singer is # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 is a big achievement in the history of the Korean music industry," said another.
"I like the song, so I support BTS," said netizens. "I support BTS even though I'm not ARMY," commented another. "Because I'm Korean, I want BTS to be # 1 kekeke," added another netizen. (wk / dewi)
