On Tuesday, Big Hit Music confirmed that V of BTS has set a remarkable record on the UK's Official Top Singles Download Chart and Singles Sales Chart with his solo song, "Slow Dancing." The lead single from his debut solo album, "Layover," has maintained its position on the charts for an impressive 11th week on the Official Top Singles Download Chart and 10th week on the Singles Sales Chart. This achievement establishes V as the K-pop solo artist with the longest consecutive presence on both charts, and notably, the first to top them simultaneously.

In addition to his solo success, V's collaboration with American singer and songwriter Umi, titled "Wherever U R," made a notable debut on the British charts, securing the No. 6 and No. 9 spots on different charts. The single, released in celebration of V's birthday last month, also claimed the No. 1 spot on Oricon's daily digital singles ranking.

Furthermore, V's impact extends to the streaming platform Spotify, where he has amassed an impressive 2 billion streams. This milestone includes not only the six tracks from his solo album but also the songs he contributed to BTS's collective discography. V's continuous chart dominance and streaming success underscore his global influence in the music industry.
