BTS, the globally popular boy group, set a new record by becoming the first and only group to have 33 songs reach the No. 1 spot on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart. Forbes reported that their track "We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal" climbed to the top, surpassing "Polar Night," a solo song by BTS member Suga, which previously held the top position.
The record includes solo tracks by BTS members like Jimin's "Who," Suga's "Polar Night" and "Haeguem," RM's "Come Back to Me," and V's "FRI(END)S." On August 23, Suga's solo track "Polar Night" from his debut solo album "D-DAY" reached No. 1 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart, holding the spot for two days before being overtaken by "We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal."
As of August 26, a total of 23 songs by Suga re-entered the chart, making him the most consumed artist worldwide across all digital platforms. Suga has also achieved the distinction of being the most consumed Asian artist globally on all digital platforms. He made history with 23 of his songs re-entering the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart and the European iTunes Song Chart.
According to the World Music Awards, Suga is the first and only Asian solo artist to have three albums simultaneously ranked in the Top 5 on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart. His albums "D-DAY," "AGUST D," and "D-2" secured the No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 spots, respectively, on the chart.
Despite recent challenges, including an incident on August 6 involving a DUI, Suga's fans have shown strong support, leading to a renewed interest in both his solo work and BTS' music.
Songs like "Snooze" and "Nevermind" gained significant popularity, contributing to their remarkable chart success.
