BTS's V Makes Billboard Hot 100 History with Christmas Carol

BTS (방탄소년단) member V has achieved a remarkable feat by entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart with a Christmas carol. According to a chart announcement made on December 17 by Billboard, V's rendition of 'White Christmas (with V of BTS)' alongside Bing Crosby has debuted at number 93 on the Hot 100 for the week of December 21. This marks V's second consecutive week on the chart, following his duet 'Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)', which also made its debut last week.

All of V's songs released this winter have successfully entered the Hot 100. His first winter single, 'Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)', released on November 29, secured the 99th position on the chart despite the strong competition from traditional carols.

With this latest achievement, V now holds six entries on the Hot 100 as a solo artist. This year alone, he has placed three digital singles on the chart: 'Friends', 'Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)', and 'White Christmas (with V of BTS)'. The fact that these accomplishments were achieved without any official promotional activities highlights V's impressive talent and popularity.

Released on December 6, 'White Christmas (with V of BTS)' is a reinterpretation of Bing Crosby's timeless classic from 1942, which continues to be beloved worldwide. V's warm baritone voice beautifully complements Crosby's, creating a moving experience for music fans around the globe.
