All US Number 1s From 2021 Ranked Worst To Best

11. Butter - BTS

BTS are indeed a curious case. By all accounts, they are the biggest pop act in the world right now, yet the average person isn't acquainted with their music. The K-pop sensation's fanbase is always hard at work to ensure their idols live at the top of the charts, but for years now, the world at large had seemed reluctant to let them cross over into the Western mainstream.

That started to change with Butter. Since its release, the song has been featured in numerous ads and gotten extensive airplay, becoming the group's first bona fide world smash; one you could not escape. They have yet to reach the pole position in the UK (though they've gotten close a few times), yet this was their fourth chart-topper in America.

The song takes a few listens to get into, but since it has been played everywhere, you'll find yourself waking up many a morning with it stuck in your brain
