Although Butter spent 10 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the band did not earn nominations for the Record and Song Of The Year categories. The band’s Permission to Dance follow-up single also entered and peaked at No. 1 on the Hot 100, as well as their recently released collaboration with Coldplay, My Universe.
