The track also becomes Aoki’s fifth track to hit the top ten on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, climbing from last week’s debut at #11 to #6 on this week’s chart. This also marks BTS’ first top ten hit for the chart.
“Waste It On Me” marks the third collaboration between the two major Asian artists, and is BTS’ first all-English track. The acts first came together to release last year’s hit “MIC Drop (Steve Aoki remix)”. The track, that also features rapper Desiigner, peaked at #28 on the Hot 100 and spent 10 weeks on the chart.
BTS and Aoki would also collaborate this year again for the group’s third Korean studio album, LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘Tear’, with the piano-based based ballad, “전하지 못한 진심 (The Truth Untold)”.
