Melon, South Korea's largest streaming platform, revamped its charts in 2020 to reduce fandom's influence and reflect the taste of the general public. Multiple changes were made, including the Top 100 Real-Time chart, which is now calculated based on the number of unique listeners over the past 24 hours.
Thanks to V's immense talent and popularity, 'Christmas Tree' has remained stable on streaming platforms despite no promotions from HYBE. The OST for the drama series 'Our Beloved Summer' was nominated multiple times and ranked 1st on the 'Melon Weekly Popularity Award TOP 20' on January 24 and 31.
K-media reported that Kim Taehyung is now the 1st male K-pop idol to win 'Melon Weekly Popularity Award TOP 20' for two weeks in a row since Melon's chart reformation in 2020.
While BTS has won many times as a group, V becomes the 1st member to win as a soloist, and all before having an official solo debut! Congratulations, Kim Taehyung!
Watch 'Christmas Tree' MV below.
The most impressive thing is he is achieving all this without promotions. When Taehyung has a proper solo debut, it's gonna be huge.
