It also attracted 27.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, up 6%, in the week ending June 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track posts a fifth week atop the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/digital-song-sales\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Song Sales<\/a>&nbsp;chart, rebounds 24-18 on&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/streaming-songs\" target=\"_blank\">Streaming Songs<\/a>&nbsp;and rises 25-22 on Radio Songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sales for &#8220;Butter&#8221; in its fifth week reflect availability for its original and instrumental versions released May 21; a &#8220;Hotter&#8221; remix released May 28; &#8220;Cooler&#8221; and &#8220;Sweeter&#8221; remixes released June 4; and an &#8220;alternate single cover&#8221; digital single released June 24 in the group&#8217;s webstore (sparking the song&#8217;s top Sales Gainer award on the Hot 100 this week), all discounted to 69 cents throughout their availability. Two other versions on sale via BTS&#8217; U.S. webstore, a 7-inch vinyl single, for $7.98, and a cassette single, for $6.98, are scheduled to count for next week&#8217;s charts, dated July 10, a week later than originally expected due to a shift in their shipping schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, &#8220;Butter&#8221; has sold at least 100,000 in each of its first five weeks (128,400, after 111,400, 138,400, 140,200 and, in its debut week, 242,800). It&#8217;s the first song to link such a streak since Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee&#8217;s &#8220;Despacito,&#8221; featuring Justin Bieber, cleared 100,000 in 12 consecutive weeks in May-August 2017. &#8220;Butter&#8221; is the first song to sell more than 100,000 in each of its first five weeks of release since Ed Sheeran&#8217;s &#8220;Shape of You,&#8221; which did so in its first five frames in March-April 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, &#8220;Butter&#8221; has spent its first five weeks on the Hot 100 at No. 1. Of the 54 titles that have&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/photos\/426225\/billboard-hot-100-number-1-song-debuts\/\" target=\"_blank\">launched at No. 1<\/a>, &#8220;Butter&#8221; is just the 11th to spend at least its first five weeks on the chart at the summit. It&#8217;s the first to earn the honor since Olivia Rodrigo&#8217;s &#8220;Drivers License&#8221; logged its first eight frames on the Hot 100 in the pole position beginning in January. Only one song by a group has topped the Hot 100 for more weeks from its debut than &#8220;Butter&#8221;: Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men&#8217;s &#8220;One Sweet Day,&#8221; which spent its first 16 weeks on the chart at No. 1 in 1995-96, a record reign from a song&#8217;s entrance among all titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rodrigo&#8217;s &#8220;Good 4 U&#8221; keeps at No. 2 on the Hot 100, five weeks after it&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/news\/9577508\/olivia-rodrigo-good-4-u-number-one-debut-hot-100\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">debuted at No. 1<\/a>. It posts a sixth week atop Streaming Songs (32 million, down 11%); rises 6-5 on Digital Song Sales (9,200, down 5%); and charges 14-7 on Radio Songs with 47.5 million impressions, up 27%, as it claims the Hot 100&#8217;s top Airplay Gainer award for a fourth week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rodrigo sends two tracks to the Radio Songs top 10 simultaneously, as, joining &#8220;Good 4 U&#8221; in the region, &#8220;Deja Vu&#8221; rises 12-10 (43.5 million, up 14%). She ups her career total to three top 10s on the ranking, after &#8220;Drivers License&#8221; dominated for five weeks in March-April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TUVcZfQe-Kw\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dua Lipa&#8217;s &#8220;Levitating,&#8221; featuring DaBaby, holds at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, as it ascends to No. 1 on Radio Songs, with 80.7 million in audience, down 1% (its second-best weekly total, after reaching 81.1 million a week earlier). Lipa lands her second Radio Songs leader, after &#8220;Don&#8217;t Start Now&#8221; ruled for four weeks in March-April 2020. DaBaby tops the tally for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Levitating&#8221; leads in its 37th week on Radio Songs, completing the longest climb to No. 1 in the chart&#8217;s 30-year history.
