Plus, BTS’ “Normal” blasts back to the top five of the Billboard Global 200. After debuting at its previous No. 5 high in May concurrent with the chart start of parent album ARIRANG, the song reenters at No. 4 with 26.6 million streams and 48,000 sold worldwide July 17-23, according to Luminate.
On the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100, the song returns at a new No. 33 high, besting its No. 41 prior peak and becoming BTS’ 19th top 40 hit on the chart. Its video arrived July 17. Meanwhile, Interscope Capitol began promoting it to pop radio as of Monday (July 27).
Also building buzz for the song: Ads published in the San Francisco Chronicle July 13 and the New York Post July 14 with the headline, “BTS Seen in Bathroom Amid Mysterious Late-Night Gathering.” The proclaimed “shocking photo” showed the singers standing in a bathroom, their backs to the camera, with copy reading, “Questions have been raised following a late-night photo appearing to show all seven BTS members together in what appears to be an unexpected setting. While the gathering itself remains unconfirmed, some have questioned whether the situation was entirely normal. The image has quickly sparked curiosity and speculation.”
(Careful not to get ink on your hands.)
