Steve Aoki couldnt be more thrilled to be at number one with his new BTS collaboration.
The 40-year-old is riding high at the top of the global iTunes chart with their latest single Waste It On Me, which fans are clearly loving.
Reacting to the songs success, Steve told TMZ: Number one around the world. I cannot believe it dude. [I found out] like five minutes.
Its so crazy, its literally the craziest day ever. First number one in the US, around the world obviously.
Surprisingly, Steve has never topped the charts despite releasing a string of popular dance tracks and working with the likes of Louis Tomlinson, Migos, Adam Lambert and 2 Chainz.
Continuing to express his excitement over his latest achievement, Steve added: Im losing my mind.
When the reporter references the success of the movie Crazy Rich Asians, Steve said: Its true, thats why its so exciting for all the Asians out here that dont have the role models or people that are touching the world. Its really a powerful time for Asian people and its pretty awesome.
