For starters, the Digital Song Sales chart differs from the World Digital Song Sales chart as it only measures the weekly U.S. digital sales of all songs, not the ones in the world music category.
With "Still Life" landing at No. 24, BIGBANG has become the fourth K-pop group in Billboard history to rank within the top 25 of the Digital Song Sales chart. The first three K-pop groups to do so are BTS, BLACKPINK, and TWICE.
In addition to making its first appearance on the US chart, BIGBANG's "Still Life" also made it to this week's Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart.
