Group BTS (BTS, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) added another billion streaming songs on Spotify.

"Life Goes On," the title song of BTS's 7th mini-album "BE," released in November 2020, exceeded 1 billion cumulative plays (as of March 21) on Spotify, a global audio and sound source streaming platform. As a result, BTS will have its sixth total 1 billion streaming songs.

Earlier, BTS had 1 billion streams with "FAKE LOVE," "Boy With Luv" (feat. Halsey), "Dynamite," "Butter" and "My Universe." "Life Goes On" is more meaningful in that it reached the 1 billion mark with Korean-oriented lyrics.

In particular, this record is drawing more attention in conjunction with the success of the new album "ARIRANG," which was released on the 20th. While all the songs of "Arirang" are strong on the Spotify "Daily Top Song Global" chart, "Life Goes On" also re-entered the same chart rankings (as of March 21) about five years after its release, creating a scene where Shinbo and Kubo are loved side by side.

"Life Goes On" is a song that contains a comforting message that "life continues nonetheless," although it faces a situation where it has no choice but to stop while running hard. At the time of its release, it topped the U.S. Billboard's main song chart "Hot 100" (December 5, 2020), creating a global sensation. In the 62-year history of the Billboard chart, the only song focused on Korean lyrics came to the top, leaving a clear mark on the music history.

The music video that Jungkook directed is also constantly receiving love. The warmth that flowed throughout the video, from the appearance of the members spending their small daily lives to the scene of singing calmly, resonated with the fans. Jung-kook warmed his regret and longing for not being able to meet his fans in person due to COVID-19 with his own sensibility.

Meanwhile, BTS unveiled "ARIRANG" on the 20th. The title song "SWIM" topped Spotify's "Daily Top Song Global" for two consecutive days (March 20-21). In Korea, it swept the daily charts of major music sites such as Melon, Genie, and Bugs on the 22nd.
