“My Universe” was not a streaming monster, compared to the tunes that usually top the chart; it amassed 8.5 million streams in its debut week. But that was more than made up for by the track’s sales strength — something that’s to be expected with any BTS track — with 136,000 downloads for the premiere frame.
The news was just as good on the Billboard charts, where “My Universe” bowed at No. 1 on three key charts: the Hot 100, the Global 200 and the Global Excl. U.S. rankings. Worldwide, according to Billboard, the collaboration claimed 95.4 million streams and 142,400 downloads in its first week. Probably needless to say, being at No. 1 is a rarer position these days for Coldplay than BTS. The British group had only reached the top of the Hot 100 once before, with “Viva la Vida” back in 2008. BTS has reached that Billboard peak six times now, all within the last 14 months, with “Dynamite,” “Savage Love ,” “Life Goes On,” “Butter,” “Permission to Dance” and now “My Universe,”Congratulations RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook..love c, g, w, j & p.
