Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart:In a truly incredible comeback moment just before their much-anticipated group return, the popular BTS song Run BTS has made a triumphant return to the top of the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, winning back the No. 1 position almost four years after it was first released.
BTS’s “Run BTS” Tops At No. 1 Again
The chart for January 10, 2026, shows the excited response of the worldwide fanbase, or ARMY, who are the band’s most devoted supporters and have brought the song back into the spotlight as anticipation for new music grows.
Run BTS was initially released in 2022 and included in BTS’s album Proof, which contains their greatest hits from the band’s career. It is the song’s second life that has been a testament to its durability, something that very few songs manage to pull off after the end of their first cycle. Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales ranking is based on the sum of the international digital purchases, thus making it an obvious indication of the strong engagement of fans worldwide.

The most striking feature of this comeback is the influence of the BTS fan community in pushing Run BTS back into the limelight of chart-topping. Even before Billboard’s announcement, the song had conquered the iTunes Top Songs chart in no less than 61 countries and regions, among them Brazil, Finland, Mexico, and Greece, during the first week of January. In celebration of the return of BTS in 2026, fans had voluntarily streamed and purchased the track.

This is not the first occasion when the BTS group had older tracks re-enter charts due to fan support, but it clearly indicates the high demand for the next chapter of the group.
Whether through nostalgia for past releases or through new solo projects, BTS fans are still very much present in all the main streaming platforms and digital markets worldwide. On Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global chart, Jimin’s “Who” ranked 32nd, Jin’s “Don’t Say You Love Me” placed 38th, Jungkook’s “Seven” came in at 62nd, and “Winter Ahead,” a duet by V and Park Hyo-shin, reached No. 102.

BTS’s Full-Group Comeback
The BTS phenomenon has come back and industry experts are not merely viewing this as a nostalgia trip; rather, quite the contrary, BTS’s worldwide attraction is still as strong as ever. Along with a new seasonal world wide concert tour, the release of the group’s fifth studio album on March 20, 2026, is going to be one of the most significant comebacks in K-pop history and this performance on charts is already signaling that.
