Just below the Hot 100, the septet land new songs “Euphoria,” “I’m Fine” and “Trivia: See Saw” on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 — a chart that was seen as a major career milestone when BTS’ early 2017 single “Spring Day” entered at No. 15. The Bubbling Under Hot 100 acts as an extension of the 25 songs that have yet to chart on the definitive Hot 100 singles chart and are just below the top 100 slots. Like the main Hot 100 chart, rankings are based on sales, radio airplay and streaming data.
