BTS is on hiatus as a band, as all seven members are currently enlisted in the South Korean military. Some of the seven singers that make up the chart-topping boy band have released music on their own during this period, but for the most part, the group has been quiet.
As fans all around the world wait to hear from the outfit in full, they haven’t stopped listening to the septet. This week, one of the band’s earliest releases is not only back on a Billboard chart, it actually manages to hit a new high.
BTS’ “BTS Cypher Pt. 3: Killer” returns to the World Digital Song Sales chart this frame. Billboard publishes the tally every week to illustrate which individual “world” tunes sold the most copies throughout the U.S. in the prior tracking period.
“BTS Cypher Pt. 3: Killer” reappears at No. 3 on the ranking this frame. That’s a new best showing for the cut, which had previously peaked at No. 10 before fans recently purchased it in large enough quantities to make it a bigger win than ever before.
BTS released “BTS Cypher Pt. 3: Killer” in 2014. The tune was featured on their debut full-length Dark & Wild, which dropped in August of that year. The collection and the tracks featured on it are about to turn 10 years old, and fans clearly wanted to honor the group and this special upcoming anniversary.
“BTS Cypher Pt. 3: Killer” is one of BTS’ 117 top 10 hits on the World Digital Song Sales chart. Of that sum, 37 tracks have climbed all the way to No. 1. The band has placed a total of 148 titles onto the list, though now the ranking only features 10 spots, so any new wins will automatically be top 10 smashes.
The South Korean all-male vocal group came close to securing another No. 1 hit with “BTS Cypher Pt. 3: Killer” this week, only missing out on doing so by two spaces. Tyla’s “Water” rules the World Digital Song Sales chart for an eighteenth frame. Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’Ole’s “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” is up to No. 2, which is an incredible placement for a title that’s now lived on this ranking for nearly 750 weeks.
