Slow Dancing, a single from BTS’s Taehyung’s debut solo album Layover, has surpassed 300 million streams on Spotify, marking yet another impressive achievement for the artist. His achievement, which he announced on February 15, 2024, cemented his position as Spotify’s first and only K-soloist with four singles that had accumulated more than 300 million streams.
It took 160 days for Slow Dancing to reach 300 million, but once it did, it became the second-fastest song by V and the fourth to do it overall. The fact that the BTS member has accomplished this solo, without the help of any other musicians or producers, deserves special mention.
Beyond proud of him💖#SlowDancing300M
CONGRATULATIONS TAEHYUNG https://t.co/gFwJZJL6ME
