Shanti Dope's 'Amatz,' BTS' 'Film Out' land on Billboard's Top 10 World Digital Song Sales chart
Shanti Dope's song "Amatz" made it into Billboard's Top 10 World Digital Song Sales chart.
"Amatz" took the 10th spot and was listed as one of the four songs that made its debut on the list, along with BTS' "Film Out," Hoshi's "Spider," and Chanyeol's "Tomorrow."
The news came almost two weeks after the Filipino hip-hop song was played in an episode of Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier."
Four songs debut in the top 10 of this week's #WorldDigitalSongSales chart:

#5, #Hoshi Spider
#9, #Chanyeol Tomorrow
#10, @ShantiiiDope Amatz
The song was previously involved in a controversy following a push by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) to ban the song in 2019 for supposedly promoting drug use.
The management of Shanti Dope denied PDEA's accusation, saying it was "unfair" and "offensive" to the songwriter for the agency to judge the song based only on portions of its lyrics.
The World Digital Song Sales Chart ranks the top 25 international singles in the US based on sales.
