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

BTS (방탄소년단) member V has achieved a remarkable milestone by entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart with his rendition of the classic carol 'White Christmas (with V of BTS)' alongside Bing Crosby. According to a chart announcement from Billboard on December 17, the song 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 entered the chart last week at number 99.

All of V's winter releases this season have made it onto the Hot 100. His first winter gift, 'Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)', released on November 29, also secured a spot 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: 'FRI(END)S', 'Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)', and 'White Christmas (with V of BTS)'. Notably, these accomplishments have been achieved without any formal promotional activities, showcasing V's impressive talent and popularity.

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