BTS track HOME reached No. 1 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart for the very first time, six years after its release. Announced on July 2, 2025, this new peak gives the group their 38th No. 1 hit on the chart. According to the X account @TheePopCore, this extends their record as an act with the most No.1s. Notably, this milestone makes BTS the first and only act to top the chart for 10 consecutive years, from 2016 through 2025.
This achievement comes just a day after the septet surprised fans with their first full-group Weverse live since 2022.

Many streamed the group’s older songs in celebration.
The 2019 track, HOME, touches on the feeling of belonging and comfort found in loved ones. It has quickly gained attention for its meaningful timing, especially now that the group is finally back together post-military service.
