BTS’ V Makes History On Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales Chart This Week With His Solo Song “Singularity”

Kim Taehyung, better known as V of BTS, continues to leave an unforgettable mark with his iconic solo track “Singularity,” which has now soared to #1 on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart this week,an extraordinary achievement as the song celebrates its 3-year anniversary since its release on BTS’s Love Yourself: Answer album.

Even more impressive, “Singularity” has also made its debut on Billboard’s overall Digital Song Sales chart at #44, ranking among the best-selling songs in the U.S. this past week. The resurgence of this song years after its release proves just how timeless Taehyung’s artistry is, and how powerfully his voice continues to resonate with fans around the globe.

Originally released in May 2018 as the intro track for Love Yourself: Tear before being included in Love Yourself: Answer, “Singularity” was the first taste fans got of the new BTS era at the time. The track was met with widespread praise for its sensual, neo-soul vibe, emotional depth, and the haunting yet ethereal vocals that only V could deliver. Taehyung’s deep, expressive voice carried the song with a quiet intensity that still lingers in listeners’ hearts.

With this week’s chart update, V becomes the only K-pop idol to achieve a #1 spot on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart with two different solo songs a monumental feat. His other solo track, “Sweet Night” (from the Itaewon Class OST), also previously topped the chart and made headlines for its all-English lyrics, self-production, and its record-breaking iTunes run in over 117 countries.

The renewed popularity of “Singularity” comes just days before its anniversary, and fans across the world have been rallying to celebrate the masterpiece that it is trending hashtags like #3YearsWithSingularity, #SingularityByV, and #TaehyungLegend as a tribute to the track and the impact it continues to make in the music world.

Part of the song’s enduring charm lies in its hypnotic choreography and stunning visual presentation, both of which V performed with a dreamlike fluidity. The mask symbolism, the use of light and shadow, and the almost theatrical emotion he poured into the performance made it not just a song, but a full artistic experience.

Critics and music scholars alike have praised “Singularity” as a standout example of how BTS explores diverse genres, and how V’s solo work often leans into jazz, R&B, and classical influences. The song has often been cited in academic discussions, reaction videos, and music analyses as a turning point in BTS’s sonic storytelling.

This Billboard achievement is not only a testament to V’s musical influence, but also to the ARMY’s unwavering love and support. The fact that a solo track from three years ago is still able to chart so strongly shows how BTS’s discography, both group and solo, continues to age like fine wine.

As we celebrate three years of “Singularity”, one thing is clear,Kim Taehyung is a singular force in music, and this track’s success is yet another chapter in his growing legacy as a solo artist within and beyond BTS.

Congratulations to V and to the ARMY who made this milestone happen, here’s to more records and more unforgettable music!
