According to Billboard, "BTS has achieved its Hot 100 No. 1s over a span of 10 months and two weeks. That's the quickest accumulation of five leaders since Michael Jackson tallied five, all from his album Bad, over nine months and two weeks in 1987-88: 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You', with Siedah Garrett, 'Bad', 'The Way You Make Me Feel', 'Man in the Mirror' and 'Dirty Diana'."

'Permission To Dance' earns BTS their fifth career No. 1 hit, and helps them become the first act to replace themselves at No. 1 on Hot 100 since Drake in 2018.

"Permission To Dance" drew 15.9 million U.S. streams, 1.1 million radio airplay audience impressions and sold 140,100 downloads in the week ending July 15.

They’ve already achieved four No. 1 hits in less than a year with 'Dynamite', then 'Savage Love' remix with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo, followed by 'Life Goes On', and 'Butter'.

Just like SUGA said last week on Weverse platform after their seventh consecutive week on Hot 100 with 'Butter', it's baton touch. Like relay games, when one player passes the baton to another plan to finish the race, BTS passes the baton to themselves after grabbing another No. 1 in their impressive career.
