V, a member of BTS, is still shattering records with “Fri(end)s” while serving his country in the military.
As of March 22, 2024, the March release “Fri(end)s” pegged No. 13 on the Top 100 Official Singles Chart. Based on the number of streams, downloads, and CD and vinyl sales, the Official Charts Company—the largest music data platform in the UK—runs the chart.
V beat his own top spot for “Slow Dancing,” the opening single from his debut album “Layover.” Just one week after its September release, the single peaked at number twenty-four.
Along with its No. 2 spot on the Official Singles Sales Chart, “Fri(end)s” topped the Official Singles Downloads Chart.
BTS V’s FRI(END)S ranked #1 on the ‘Official Single Download Chart’, 2nd on the ‘Official Single Sales Chart’, entered the single chart at 13.
