BTS has another achievement that the ARMYs will be proud of. The group just dominated the Billboard's Twitter Top Tracks chart and beaten the likes of Harry Styles and Niall Horan.

The said tracks chart is a weekly list of the most mentioned or shared songs on Twitter. BTS topped the chart with their single "Not Today" and it bested One Direction's Harry Styles "Sweet Creature." What's more, the idol group's "Fire" also made it to the top five, ranking at number no. 4.

Aside from taking first place on the Billboard's Top Tracks chart, BTS was also listed on the site's Artist 100 chart, placing 10th. In any case, as stated on Billboard, the idol group's "Not Today" returned to its no. 1 spot after falling to no. 24 in the previous weeks.
