BTS Takes No.1 Spot on July 2021's Brand Reputation Rankings for Boy Groups
Once again topping the monthly brand reputation rankings for their 38th consecutive month is none other than BTS! For the month of July, BTS accumulated a total of 14,995,148 for their brand reputation index, a 1.3 percent decrease from their brand reputation index of 15,187,718 in June.
In addition, the seven-member boy group's highest-ranking phrases for the group's keyword analysis include "Butter," "Hot 100," and "Billboard." And it's not surprising to find that these are the phrases and keywords associated with BTS.

Since the release of their hit digital single, "Butter," last May 21, the song had topped Billboard's Hot 100 for six consecutive weeks from the song's debut. With that, BTS made history, such as becoming the longest-running No.1 debut song by an Asian act, which they had broken when "Butter" had remained at the top in its fourth consecutive week.
Additionally, the group's highest-ranking related terms include "record," "release," "and "surpass." Which again, is no surprise as BTS has consistently been breaking and surpassing numerous records.
Meanwhile, BTS recently released their new English song, "Permission to Dance" on July 9.
