BTS's Jin, currently serving in the military, has achieved yet another milestone in his illustrious music career. His first solo single, 'The Astronaut,' has been making waves on the Argentinian airwaves, showcasing its global appeal. Remarkably, 'The Astronaut' has maintained its top spot on Vega Radio's 'K-POP TOP 40 Ranking' in Argentina for 64 consecutive weeks, a testament to its enduring popularity.
As of January 16 Korean time, 'The Astronaut' has garnered an impressive 126,192 votes on Vega Radio, surpassing the 100,000-vote mark and continuing to climb. This surge in votes is a clear indicator of Jin's growing popularity in Argentina. His dominant presence in the music scene was further solidified by securing first place in Vega Radio's '2023 TOP 40 K-POP.'
In celebration of this achievement, Vega Radio released a special YouTube video last October dedicated to ARMYs, commemorating Jin's record of topping the 'KPOP TOP 40' chart for 50 weeks with 'The Astronaut.' The video captured significant attention upon its release. Additionally, in August, Vega Radio analyzed the reasons behind 'The Astronaut's' success on the 'KPOP TOP 40 Ranking' and lauded the song's timeless appeal, predicting its continued popularity among music fans of all ages.
A year after its release, 'The Astronaut' still resonates deeply with people worldwide, evoking calm and beautiful emotions.
That’s awesome, way to go Jin! Excited for your return! 💜🎉🎊
