“Savage Love (Laxed Siren Beat)” becomes the second Hot 100 No. 1 each for Derulo and BTS, and the first for New Zealand singer Jawsh 685.
BTS, composed of members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, released “Dynamite” last August with a music video that shattered a record for the largest premiere in Youtube history.
Believe it or not, their hit English single is only the K-pop sensation’s first-ever track to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
