V's "Sweet Night" has reached #1 on iTunes in more countries than any track by a Korean soloist in history (87; surpassing the record held by "Gangnam Style").
In 2012, Psy's 'Gangnam Style' swept the worldwide 'iTunes Top Song Chart' and ranked #1 in 86 countries. The record remained stable and unbreakable for eight long years.
This time, V snatched this spot with his self-composed OST 'Sweet Night' breaking Psy's massive 8 year old record in a span of just 2 months , announcing the new status as the 'Best K-pop Player' right now. In addition, it is more meaningful because V made this record with an OST without a music video starring him, without a global promotion or any kind of promotion from his agency.
y’all.....gangnam style was a local hit. played at every function and school dance and has one of the highest viewed mvs of all time. taehyung just broke its record with an unpromoted ost. IM TREMBLING.
Congratulations Kim Taehyung on your achievements as an artist & producer. As a fan of Seo Joon, I'm honored that he is somewhat part of your success, producing & singing "Sweet Night" for Itaewon Class. I'm sure the rest of Wooga squad are proud of you. May you soar higher.
