On December 15, 2023, a new development embraced BTS as another song from their archive hit the No.1 spot on the iTunes Chart. At the time of this article's writing, No More Dreams, a track from the group's debut album 2 KOOL 4 SKOOL, peaked at No.1 in over 60 countries.
This is the third song by the K-pop group to reach the top of the iTunes Chart in a week. Since the members of BTS enrolled in the military on December 12, 2023, fans have been expressing their yearning and love for the group by streaming their older songs.
