BTS’ collaboration with Snoop Dogg and Benny Blanco debuted at no. 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100, according to the tally dated Aug. 20.
The single “Bad Decisions” featuring Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook of BTS will be the first track from the Brazilian producer’s upcoming third album, due out later this year.
Last month, the septet shared a teaser clip of Blanco calling and asking for a spot via a video call.
“Look, I know we haven’t known each other that long, but I want to be in the band,” says the producer, adding, “I want to sing and dance. I think I could do it.”
The bandmates turn him down, but Jimin says, “But we can make a song together.”
