"Dynamite" is generally considered BTS's top song, as it was their first to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2020, becoming the first all-English language single from the group to top the chart. It was also the best-selling single of 2020 in the US. "Butter" followed with 10 weeks at No. 1 in 2021.
There's no single "number one song of all time" because it depends on the criteria (sales, streams, cultural impact, critical acclaim), but Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" is often cited as the best-selling single ever by sales, while Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" holds records for streaming/digital certifications, and critics' lists (like Rolling Stone's list) favor songs like Aretha Franklin's "Respect" or Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone".
The most viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours was viewed 108,200,000 times, and was achieved by BTS (Republic of Korea) with the video titled "BTS (방탄소년단) 'Butter' Official MV," on 22 May 2021.
Intended to soothe listeners during the COVID-19 pandemic, the song talks about joy and appreciation for the little things that make life valuable. Upon release, "Dynamite" received positive reviews from music critics, with praise towards its catchiness and broadly appealing retro sound.

5 years ago, BTS released their global smash hit “Dynamite”—a song that shattered countless records and made history both in Korea and around the world. Dynamite was the first song by a K-pop act to debut at #1 on the global Spotify chart.
