The chart notes combined sales, streaming, and BGM (meaning how often it was used as background music in various forms of media).
10. Oh My Girl - 'Dun Dun Dance'
While it initially ranked at number four in the June charts, Oh My Girl's fun summer track "Dun Dun Dance" still managed to secure enough sales and streaming numbers to rank in the top ten. They are one of three girl groups to rank at this month's top ten.
9. Taeyeon - 'Weekend'

3. BTS - 'Permission to Dance'
BTS's highest-ranking debut song of the month is their most recent all-English single, "Permission to Dance." The song was able to land a spot in the top three due to its high sales, as it was included in BTS's "Butter" single album. Have you done the "Permission to Dance" YouTube challenge yet?
