Earlier today (August 27), BTS released the latest version of their globe-dominating single “Butter,” this time with Megan Thee Stallion in tow. The South Korean superstars recruited the hip-hop superstar to put a fresh spin on the cut, and while it’s only been out for a few hours, the track is surely headed for big things in a few days...and the featured musician may be on her way to making history.
While it’s just getting started in terms of consumption, there’s a good chance that when Billboard refreshes its charts in a week or so, Stallion’s name will be added to “Butter” on some, if not all of the rankings the tune appears on. That update will occur if her version becomes the most popular, which seems highly likely, as she’s the reason the cut will gain across sales, streams and perhaps even radio play, all metrics that factor into the most important of all the lists, the Hot 100.
Nothing is certain, but it wouldn’t be odd to see “Butter” jump back to No. 1 on the Hot 100 after the Stallion remix has enjoyed a full seven-day tracking frame, during which time it will surely be purchased by tens of thousands of people (if not more than 100,000) and streamed by millions. If the tune does leap to the summit once again, it will earn its tenth stay in the penthouse, and Stallion will collect her third champion.
There have been a number of instances in just the past few years of major stars in the music world hopping on board already successful tracks and earning another No. 1 on the Hot 100, if only just for a week, as the vocals they add help a tune surge in consumption, perhaps hitting the top spot for the first time. Stallion scored her first chart-topper on the tally with her smash “Savage,” which only rose to the peak after Beyoncé lent her talents and name to the cut. BTS collected a second ruler alongside Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo on the previously popular "Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)," which ran the show for one frame after the South Korean band became involved.
If “Butter” does make its way back to No. 1 and Stallion is credited, she will officially nab her third leader on the Hot 100. In doing so, she will break out of a tie with Nicki Minaj for the second-most chart-toppers among female rappers. Right now, the two are sitting pretty with two apiece, coming in behind Cardi B, who has landed five conquering smashes. With a third champion, Stallion will hold on to the title of being the woman in rap with the second-most rulers, while Minaj will be demoted to third, at least for the moment.
Nothing is certain when it comes to the Billboard rankings, but BTS is far and away the biggest band charting hits at the moment, and “Butter” is already the longest-running No. 1 of the year. Currently, the tune isn’t very far from the throne, and all it may need to bounce back to the peak is a little something to reignite interest, and Stallion’s verses could do just that.
