Four solo songs by BTS (BTS) V became popular with gold certification from Canadian Music.
According to Music Canada, a Canadian music industry association, V's solo songs "Christmas Tree," "Slow Dancing," "Love Me Again," and "FRI (END)S" have won gold certification for singles.
The Music Canada Single Gold Certification is awarded to songs that have sold more than 40,000 units, reflecting the sales of digital downloads and physical singles. The certification of each country's music industry associations is made at the request of the record right holder (label). A year after V's solo album "Layover" recorded more than 250,000 cumulative shipments from the Japan Records Association, it obtained gold disc "Platinum" certification.
Released on December 24, 2021, the Christmas season with high entry barriers, "Christmas Tree" entered the U.S. Billboard's "Hot 100" (79th) for the first time in Korean OST, debuted at No. 55 on the Holiday Hot 100 chart, and made a big splash with its global performance of topping the "Holiday Digital Song Sales."
"Christmas Tree" has been listed on Billboard's "Best Christmas Song of the 21st Century" for two consecutive years in 2024 and 2025. This is the only K-pop selection. U.S. media Elite Daily also selected "Christmas Season Song Playlist 24 after Y2K," and British media Edinburgh Live selected it as the most popular Christmas song on Spotify.
V's first solo album, "Slow Dancing" and "Love Me Again," were also certified gold. "Love Me Again" joined Spotify's "Beliance Club" with 1 billion streams on Spotify for the first time in V's solo song. It currently has 1.16 billion streams.
"Friends" debuted at 65th place on the U.S. Billboard's main single chart "Hot 100" without any separate activities or physical albums while V was serving in the military, third place on Billboard Global (excluding the U.S.), and fifth place on "Global 200." It entered the UK Official Singles Chart for the first time at No. 13 and was listed on the chart for two consecutive weeks, and reached No. 3 with only two days of tracking on the 'Official Big Top 40' chart. It is also used as the background music for the popular American drama series "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Season 3 and was greatly loved by the public.
