BTS singer V has made a notable return to the Billboard charts this week with his latest release, despite taking a break from music to fulfill his military duties in South Korea. His new track, titled 'Fri(end)s,' has garnered significant attention from American fans and has achieved impressive rankings.
'Fri(end)s' has particularly excelled in terms of sales, a common trend for BTS and its members. The track debuted at an impressive No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart, which tracks the songs that have sold the most copies in the U.S. during each tracking period. With nearly 19,500 copies sold in America, V's latest release has marked his seventh entry into the top 10 on this chart.
By achieving this feat, V has now tied with two of his fellow BTS bandmates, J-Hope and Jimin, for the third-most top 10 placements among South Korean solo artists. Jung Kook currently holds the record for the most top 10 hits on the Digital Song Sales chart among solo South Korean artists, with an impressive 13 appearances in the top tier.
Following closely behind Jung Kook is another BTS member, Suga, who has secured nine top 10 hits on the Digital Song Sales chart under both his own name and his alter ego, Agust D. When considering all South Korean musical acts, BTS as a group has amassed a total of 36 top 10 wins on the Digital Song Sales chart, including an impressive 12 No. 1 hits.
These achievements further solidify BTS's global dominance in the music industry and highlight the individual successes of its talented members, including V's latest triumph with 'Fri(end)s' on the Billboard charts.
