BTS's V hits a Spotify first: all six tracks on 'Layover' have now cleared 150 million streams, a record no K-pop solo album has matched.
Every track, 150 million streams
V's debut solo album Layover is now the first K-pop solo artist album where all six tracks surpass 150 million Spotify streams. "Slow Dancing Piano Version" crossed the finish line last, completing the sweep.
The album had already set this same record at 100 million per track. 150 million is the next tier.
Total Spotify streams for Layover sit at 2.65 billion. "Love Me Again" leads at 1.151 billion. "Slow Dancing" follows with 598 million, then "Rainy Days" at 388.4 million. The rest trail behind: For Us at 184.7 million, Blue at 177.8 million, and Slow Dancing Piano Version at 150 million.
What the chart record looks like
Layover peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200—the highest position ever reached by a K-pop solo album on that chart. All six tracks entered both Billboard's Global 200 and Global 200 (Excl. U.S.) simultaneously at release. Another first for a K-pop solo album.
(Time Out placed Layover on its Best Albums of 2023 list alongside 29 other titles.)
