BTS continues to dominate the global music scene, and this time, it’s Jung Kook and SUGA making waves with their stunning collaboration. The emotional and cinematic track “Stay Alive (Prod. by SUGA)” has officially reached #1 on the US iTunes chart, overtaking brand-new releases from some of the music industry’s biggest names, including Nicki Minaj, Lil Baby, and Ed Sheeran.

Released as the official OST for BTS’ original webtoon “7 FATES: CHAKHO,” “Stay Alive” blends Jung Kook’s ethereal vocals with SUGA’s signature storytelling and atmospheric production. The song serves not only as a soundtrack but also as a haunting reflection of the webtoon’s narrative filled with mystery, fate, and a fight for survival. Fans were instantly captivated by the synergy between the track’s hauntingly beautiful melody and the emotional depth in Jung Kook’s voice.

What makes this achievement even more impressive is the competitive landscape of today’s music charts. With major Western artists constantly releasing new singles, it’s not easy for a soundtrack especially one tied to a digital comic to claim the top spot. Yet, Jung Kook and SUGA have done exactly that, once again proving the global power and reach of BTS.

This isn’t the first time BTS members have topped the iTunes charts as soloists, but it’s a historic moment for an OST to receive such a massive response. Within hours of its release, “Stay Alive” shot up the iTunes charts in multiple countries, and fans known as ARMY rallied around the song with immense support, making it trend worldwide. On platforms like Twitter, hashtags such as #StayAlive and #JungKook trended within minutes, and fans praised the emotionally rich lyrics, cinematic arrangement, and Jung Kook’s breathtaking vocal delivery.

The track’s success is also a reflection of SUGA’s brilliance as a producer and composer. Known for his intricate arrangements and deep understanding of emotion in music, SUGA has consistently delivered genre-defying work as both a BTS member and solo producer. His ability to craft a soundscape that elevates Jung Kook’s vocal color is a testament to his growing reputation as one of Korea’s most respected producers.

“Stay Alive” not only complements the storyline of 7 FATES: CHAKHO but also stands on its own as a powerful anthem of resilience and hope a recurring theme in BTS’ music. The lyrics, expressing a desperate plea to keep going despite the odds, resonate deeply with listeners across the world, especially in uncertain times.

For Jung Kook, this milestone continues his streak of solo success. Whether it’s “Euphoria,” “My Time,” or his recent viral covers and song recommendations, the youngest BTS member continues to showcase his vocal growth, emotional depth, and ability to connect with audiences on a personal level. “Stay Alive” marks another defining moment in his artistic journey.

As ARMY continues to celebrate, fans are already speculating what’s next perhaps more music tied to the webtoon or even solo projects from both Jung Kook and SUGA. But for now, the accomplishment is clear: “Stay Alive (Prod. by SUGA)” has secured its place at the top of one of the most competitive music markets in the world.
