Forbes predicted that BTS will regain the no. 1 spot on the Digital Song Sales chart after the New Year since numerous Americans, reportedly, bough more copies of "Dynamite" in the previous tracking period. Nielsen Music, as per the business-centered news outlet, shared that BTS has sold a total of 16,000 copies of the track recently.

BTS previously proved that they are champions in their own rights when their latest single called "Life Goes On" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Unfortunately, the song has shockingly disappeared on the list after a few days.
