K-pop superstar BTS¡¯s new song ¡°Dynamite¡± zoomed to No. 30 on Billboard`s Pop Songs radio airplay chart, marking the boyband¡¯s highest debut rank on the list.
Released last Friday, Dynamite started on Pop Songs with 2,301 plays on its first three days, surpassing the record set by its previous song ¡°Boy With Luv,¡± which began at No. 35 on the chart with 1,230 plays in April 2019.
Billboard said Dynamite was ¡°blowing up,¡± with the septet making its ¡°grandest entrance yet¡± on the Pop Songs radio airplay chart.
The bright disco-pop track is an all-English song by the Korean boyband to help it gain broader appeal with the global audience.

BTS had previous hits that also landed on the chart¡¯s top 40 upon release. The two 2018 songs ¡°MIC Drop¡± and ¡°Fake Love¡± debuted at 37th and 38th, respectively. ¡°Make It Right¡± placed 39th when it first came out in 2019.
Eyes are now on Dynamite¡¯s entry ranking on Billboard¡¯s Hot 100 chart next week. The Billboard Hot 100 is the premier singles chart in America, measuring the week¡¯s most popular songs based on airplays, album sales and streams.
BTS in February had hit a No. 4 high on the Hot 100 with the release of ¡°On,¡± the lead track of its last album ¡°Map of the Soul: 7.¡±
Billboard expected Dynamite to debut on the Hot 100 chart dated Sept. 5, following its first full tracking week for all metrics.
