BTS member V (Big Hit Music).
V, one of the members of K-pop band BTS, makes his mark on the Billboard charts this week with the release of his debut solo collection, Layover. His name is all over the Digital Song Sales chart this time around, which tracks the best-selling songs in the United States on a weekly basis.
V currently boasts five songs on the Digital Song Sales chart, effectively claiming 10% of all available slots. This feat is typically reserved for a select few superstars, and it’s worth noting that not all chart-toppers translate into great individual song sales. This fact exemplified by Olivia Rodrigo, who currently holds the No. 1 song and album in the United States, does not feature anywhere on the Digital Song Sales chart.
In his latest brush with chart dominance, V came tantalizingly close to securing another No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, narrowly missing the top position by just one slot. His latest single, “Slow Dancing,” debuts at No. 2 on the ranking, with just under 10,200 copies sold, according to data shared by Luminate. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s latest collaborative effort, “Bongos,” clinched the No. 1 spot during the same chart period.
Continuing his impressive run on the Digital Song Sales chart, V’s Layover also secures a pair of debuts on the tally. “Blue” emerges as the second-highest start from the album, entering at No. 12 with nearly 3,700 copies sold. Slightly further down the tally, “For Us” launches with an opening frame of nearly 2,500 copies sold.
Moreover, V’s earlier singles from Layover, released weeks ago but just hours apart, have also made their return to the Digital Song Sales chart as fans eagerly support his solo work. “Love Me Again” makes its way to No. 35, while “Rainy Days” follows closely at No. 36. These songs, originally peaking inside the top five upon their initial chart entry, continue to resonate with audiences, selling 1,944 and 1,856 copies, respectively.
