BTS Charts A Brand New No. 1 Hit In America
Later this month, on July 18, BTS will release its first-ever live album, Permission to Dance on Stage – Live. The collection marks the South Korean group's first release in years, as all seven members have finally completed mandatory military enlistment in their home country and are once again available to promote projects.
Fans will have to wait until early 2026 for brand new music, but in the meantime, this live collection, as well as the band's older material, should satisfy millions of followers eager to celebrate BTS's reunification. Listeners in the United States have focused their consumption on one track in particular, giving the group another champion.
"Home" Reenters the World Digital Song Sales Chart
"Home" reenters the World Digital Song Sales chart this week. The tune returns at No. 1 on Billboard's ranking of the bestselling world tracks throughout the United States. The cut isn't new to the list, but it's never climbed so high before.
BTS Claims Thirty Eighth Champion on the Tally
BTS claims a thirty-eighth champion on the World Digital Song Sales tally as "Home" reappears. The group has long reigned as the most successful when it comes to accumulating rulers in this arena, and the musicians only extend their lead with another bestseller.
Blackpink, another K-pop outfit, claims the second-most leaders, with nine — less than one-seventh as many as BTS has accrued over the years.
"Home" Debuted Years Ago
"Home" is new to the top spot on the World Digital Song Sales chart, but it arrived on the roster for the first time more than half a decade ago. The BTS tune debuted on the World Digital Song Sales chart in April 2019. Seven weeks into its lifespan on the list, it finally reaches the summit.
"Home" Stands as BTS's Only Hit in America
At the moment, "Home" is BTS's only hit song in America right now, but the group fills several spaces on the related World Albums chart. On that tally, Proof holds at No. 9, while Map of the Soul: 7 declines four spaces to No. 24.
The band may experience something of a surge when Billboard refreshes its rankings in a few days, as excitement around the end of the K-pop act's hiatus could impact the weekly lists.

Box Office Queen Becomes the Highest-Grossing Lead Actor of All Time
Box Office Queen Becomes the Highest-Grossing Lead Actor of All Time originally appeared on Parade. Scarlett Johansson just made box office history. The Oscar-nominated actress, 40, has officially become the highest-grossing lead actor of all time, surpassing her fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe alums Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., according to verified data from The Numbers. The milestone comes on the heels of a massive opening weekend for Jurassic World Rebirth, which debuted July 3 and earned $147.3 million domestically and $318.3 million globally through Sunday. That colossal opening pushed Johansson's total global box office haul for leading and ensemble-lead roles to an astonishing $14.61 billion — edging Jackson's $14.60 billion and Downey Jr.'s $14.3 billion. What's more: Johansson got there with just 36 films playing lead roles, compared to Jackson's 71 and Downey's 45. Her average worldwide gross stands at $405.9 million per film, significantly outpacing both actors. Many of Johansson's biggest hits have come from her decade-long portrayal of Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in the MCU, including Avengers: Endgame ($2.7B), Infinity War ($2B), The Avengers ($1.5B), and Age of Ultron ($1.4B). Outside of Marvel, Johansson headlined major earners like The Jungle Book ($951M), Sing ($631M), and Lucy ($457M). Her latest win comes from a new franchise. In Jurassic World Rebirth, Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a hardened mercenary brought into the action by a pharmaceutical executive (Rupert Friend) to team up with a paleontologist (Jonathan Bailey) on a high-stakes mission involving dinosaur DNA. Clearly, Johansson is no longer just Marvel's most elite assassin. She's Hollywood's most bankable star. Period. Jurassic World Rebirth is now playing in theaters nationwide.

Pepsi Pops Off in Pointed Message About 'Iconic' Coca-Cola Campaign
Pepsi Pops Off in Pointed Message About 'Iconic' Coca-Cola Campaign originally appeared on Parade. Pepsi is taking direct aim at its biggest competitor—The Coca-Cola Company—in its new campaign. On Thursday—just days after Coca-Cola delighted fans with confirmation that Diet Cherry Coke would be returning to shelves—the beverage giant headquartered in Purchase, N.Y., revealed it would be releasing limited-edition Pepsi bottles featuring shoutouts to "popular eats like burgers, hot dogs, wings and more" in a play on its business rival's famous "Share a Coke" campaign. "Real flavor magic happens when Pepsi meets great food, elevating every bite with bold refreshment," Pepsi's VP of marketing Gustavo Reyna said in a statement. "That's why our limited-edition 'Share a Pepsi' bottles showcase fan-favorite grill classics, inspiring everyone to grab their go-to dish and enjoy it with an ice-cold Pepsi." Since the Coca-Cola Company's "iconic" ads officially returned earlier this summer, with both names and casual phrases (like "Bro," "Dude," "Sis," and "Friend") jacketing select bottles, Pepsi is now arguing that promo got it all wrong, suggesting it's the food—not the people—that make the experience of drinking the bubbly beverage better. Related: "The best way to share a cola is with a taco, not a Tom, and with a pizza, not a Paige," the company teased in its June 12 announcement. "With its unique flavor and sweetness, balanced with a refreshingly crisp fizz, Pepsi is the perfect accompaniment to cut through delectable eats. 'Share a Pepsi' encourages fans to savor the bold flavors of Pepsi and their favorite foods first, then bring friends and family together - because unforgettable taste creates lasting memories." Those looking to grab a "custom" Pepsi bottle can do so by entering for a chance to win a free 20-ounce Pepsi Zero Sugar by sharing which foods they'd #ShareAPepsi with on select Pepsi social media posts. Fans can also enter for a chance to win "the better tasting zero sugar cola, Pepsi Zero Sugar," online via the official contest page. Fans attending the EEEEEATSCON food festival in Los Angeles, Calif., June 28—29 are instructed to stop by the Pepsi activation to play a game in exchange for a complimentary 'Share a Pepsi' bottle, only while supplies last.
