The boy group BTS has shattered Japan's Oricon charts.

According to the latest Oricon weekly streaming ranking released on the 10th (dated June 15 / collection period: June 1–7, 2026), BTS's global hit 'Dynamite' has exceeded a cumulative 900 million plays. This marks the eighth work in Oricon history to reach the 900th million milestone and is the first time an overseas artist has achieved this feat.

As of this week, 'Dynamite' has recorded a cumulative 900.95 million plays. With this, BTS becomes the sixth artist in chart history to reach the 900th million view milestone, following local top artists YOASOBI, YURI, Official HIGE DANdism, and Mrs GREEN APPLE. Released during the COVID-19 pandemic, the song offered warm comfort to music fans worldwide with its message to 'find freedom and happiness through dance and song despite difficult circumstances.'

BTS's 'Permission to Dance' also achieved a double celebration by surpassing 500 million cumulative plays in the same chart released on the same day. This marks the group's third consecutive single to reach 500 million streams, following 'Dynamite' and 'Butter.' BTS remains the only overseas artist to surpass 500 million cumulative streams with a single track, once again proving the song's enduring local popularity and global influence even five years after its release.

BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) will hold 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN BUSAN' over two days on the 12th and 13th at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium.
