BTS’ hit “Spring day” has surpassed 1 billion streams for the first time in Melon history.
According to Melon, a major music platform in Korea, on August 13, the title song “Spring day“, released by BTS on February 13, 2017, surpassed 1 billion streams.
“Spring day” is the first song to surpass 1 billion views on Melon. Melon awards the “Beliance Bronze Club” badge to an artist who has accumulated 1 billion views on music streaming. BTS eventually received the badge with a single song, “Spring day“.
“Spring day” has been on Melon’s daily chart (as of August 12) for 2,738 consecutive days. The song set a new record by being on the daily chart for seven years in February of this year. Since then, it has remained on the chart for over seven years and six months. This is also the longest chart in Melon’s history, and BTS is breaking a new record every day.
“Spring day” is an alternative hip-hop song that combines Brit-Rock feeling and electronic sound. The song addresses the message that he will not lose hope while waiting for a meeting with a distant friend.
The album “WINGS 외전: YOU NEVER WALK ALONE” containing “Spring day” entered the US Billboard main album chart at number 61 on March 4, 2017, and then ranked for two consecutive weeks.
The song topped the “Daily Digital Singles Ranking” (December 12, 2023) released by Oricon in Japan last year.
