“A whole year and counting” — Fans celebrate as Love Me Again becomes Taehyung's first song to spend one year on Spotify Global Daily Chart

BTS' Taehyung has made history with his song Love Me Again, which has spent an entire year on the Spotify Global Chart. As of August 12, 2024, the track became the first and only song by a K-pop soloist to remain on the chart for a full 366 days without ever dropping off.

This accomplishment is also significant as it marks the first time a B-side track by any K-pop artist has achieved this feat. Currently, Love Me Again sits at the 98th spot on the chart and has amassed a whopping 745 million streams on Spotify.

This record places Love Me Again in elite company, alongside BTS' My Universe, which also charted for 366 consecutive days. V's debut as a solo artist began with the release of his album Layover and its co-title track, Love Me Again. The song's success on Spotify is just one of several milestones it has reached since its release.

Fans have flooded the internet with their congratulatory messages over this,

“Love Me Again has NEVER left the chart!” a fan exclaimed.

“The queen of all b-sides!!” a fan claimed.

“OH KING TAEHYUNG,” another fan exclaimed enthusiastically.

Some other fans commented,

“LOUDERRRR,” a fan encouraged fellow fans to celebrate the achievement.

“Organic hit!” a fan said.

“Insane impact,” a fan stated.

“CONGRATULATIONS TAEHYUNG,” a fan congratulated the BTS star.
