V’s Musical Reign: Shattering Records & Rewriting History
In a jaw-dropping musical journey that’s setting 2024 ablaze, BTS’s V has done the unthinkable – becoming the only solo Korean artist to chart three songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024.
His chart-conquering lineup?
- “Fri(end)s”: Blazing in at #65
- “Winter Ahead” (ft. Park Hyoshin): Rocketing to #99
- “White Christmas” (with Bing Crosby): Securing #93
But wait, there’s more! V didn’t just chart – he dethroned pop royalty! In a holiday music miracle, he knocked the legendary Mariah Carey off her traditional Christmas music throne. His collaboration track, “Winter Ahead,” with Park Hyoshin, seized the Holiday Digital Song Sales chart charting at number 1 in the second week of December, ending Carey’s long-standing winter music dominance.
From K-pop idol to global musical phenomenon, Kim Taehyung is proving he’s not just making music – he’s making history. One chart-topping track at a time.
