Plus, some notable debuts dot Billboard ’s radio airplay rankings. On Pop Airplay, BTS’ “NORMAL” opens at No. 40. It’s the group’s second entry from its album ARIRANG and follows the septet’s 10 prior charted hits at the format dating to 2017, including the LP’s lead single, “SWIM.”
On Alternative Airplay, venerable punk-rockabilly band Social Distortion enters at No. 39 with “Tonight.” As “Born to Kill” arrived in March, and reached No. 28 in May, the group boasts multiple debuts on the chart in a single year for the first time since 1992. Formed in Orange County, Calif., in 1978, the act logged its first three titles in 1990, including its cover of Johnny Cash’s classic “Ring of Fire.”
Meanwhile, Madonna notches another hit from Confessions II as “Danceteria” debuts at No. 30 on Dance Airplay. A week earlier, “Love Sensation” became the album’s second No. 1 on the chart, after “I Feel So Free.” Plus, her Sabrina Carpenter collab “Bring Your Love” (promoted to pop formats) also made the survey.
