BTS V has hit a major milestone with his song “Love Me Again,” surpassing 780 million streams on Spotify!
As of August 31, “Love Me Again,” a pre-release track from V’s solo album Layover, has achieved this impressive feat on the world’s biggest streaming platform.
On the same day, “Love Me Again” also topped the iTunes charts in Germany, reaching No. 1 in 102 countries. This makes it V’s sixth song to hit No. 1 on the German iTunes chart, joining his other hits like “Sweet Night,” “Christmas Tree,” “Rainy Days,” “Slow Dancing,” and “Friends.”
With this success, V now holds the record for the most No. 1 singles on iTunes among K-pop solo artists in Germany, one of the top eight music markets globally.
“Love Me Again” blends R&B with a 1970s soul sound, featuring gospel and jazz influences. The track is known for its dreamy feel and V’s soulful vocals, offering a unique sound rarely found in K-pop.
The American music magazine Consequence of Sound named “Love Me Again” as the “Most Jaw-Dropping Single” in their 2023 K-POP Yearbook. They praised the song for its mix of pop and R&B and highlighted V’s deep baritone.
V’s solo album Layover is celebrating its first anniversary on September 8 and will be released in LP format. Pre-orders are already underway, with the second batch of LPs selling out quickly at the BTS Store in the U.S., U.K., and other locations.
The Japanese BTS Store and Universal Music Store have also seen multiple sellouts and restocks.
