BTS RM’s “Mono” Mixtape Has Surpassed 400 Million Streams On Spotify!

RM’s Mono has now surpassed an incredible milestone of 400 million streams on Spotify, prof to its enduring impact and the appreciation it continues to receive from fans worldwide. Released on October 23, 2018, Mono is RM’s second solo mixtape, following his 2015 self-titled debut, RM. This mixtape marks a more introspective phase for RM, with a softer, more reflective tone compared to his earlier works.

Mono consists of seven tracks, including collaborations with notable artists such as the South Korean indie rock band Nell and British electronic duo Honne. One of the standout tracks, “Forever Rain,” also received an animated music video that visually complements the emotional depth of the song, showcasing RM’s vulnerability and the introspective mood that pervades the mixtape.

RM has described Mono as a “playlist,” highlighting how the mixtape is more about mood and vibe than a traditional album structure. This approach gives Mono a unique feel, with each track flowing seamlessly into the next, yet still offering distinct emotional moments. Tracks like “Tokyo,” “Seoul,” and “Badbye” explore RM’s thoughts on his personal journey, the weight of fame, and the struggles of solitude, making the mixtape deeply relatable to his listeners.

The success of Mono can be attributed to its raw honesty and RM’s ability to convey complex emotions with his signature poetic lyricism. The mixtape is a reflection of his growth as an artist, moving beyond the confines of K-pop to create something that resonates globally with audiences of all kinds.

Whether through the mellow vibes of “Moonchild” or the deep self-reflection of “Forever Rain,” RM’s Mono has earned its place as a significant work in his solo discography and continues to inspire listeners years after its release. Reaching 400 million streams is no small feat, and it solidifies Mono as a defining moment in RM’s career, showcasing his ability to connect with people on a deeply emotional level through his music. This achievement also demonstrates the widespread recognition of his artistry outside of BTS, with his solo work standing strong in its own right.
