Stay Gold tops iTunes Top Songs in 82 countries; 1st Korean act to have Japanese single top US & UK chart

US & UK CHART

If you're a fan of BTS, these past few months have been exciting as the septet is rolling out so much new content for us to be entertained by. Whether it be their docuseries, Break The Silence or even the celebrations for the 7th anniversary, i.e. FESTA 2020, we've been pampered left, right and center by the K-pop band. ARMY was left with no breathing space yet again (Not that we're complaining in the least!) with Bang Bang Con: The Live, where we got to see the members perform a few songs fromMap of the Soul: 7 like Respect andFriends. Moreover, ARMY is now gearing up for the release of Map of the Soul: The Journey, which is BTS' fourth Japanese album. While there is less than a month for its release date, i.e. July 15, 2020, the fandom was treated early with the release of the lead single, Stay Gold, yesterday, i.e. June 19, 2020. Fans went gaga over the vocal line's impeccable harmonisation while the rap line's sing-song verses also got a nod. It was the soothing balm effect of the track that really worked for ARMY and helped calm our troubled minds. ARMY made sure to give a big return gift to BTS as Stay Gold as topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in 82 regions, which include the US, the UK and even India. What's interesting about BTS topping the US and the UK iTunes chart in that they are the first Korean act to reach #1 on both charts with a Japanese single.
