The First 2024 iTunes #1 Was BTS’s V’s “FRI(END)S” Across 100 Countries

Kim Taehyung (V) of BTS set an iTunes record. Taehyung’s latest solo single, “FRI(END)S”, is #1 on iTunes in 100 countries. This is the first 2024 song to reach this milestone. “FRI(END)S” is Taehyung’s 5th solo iTunes #1, following “Sweet Night,” “Christmas Tree,” “Slow Dancing,” and “wherever u r.” The March 2024 pop soul R&B track “FRI(END)S” conveys the desire to “put the ‘end’ in friends” and deepen a lifelong friendship, as the title cleverly suggests.
