Kim Seokjin becomes the longest-charting BTS member with his solo song "Moon" after the change of MelOn policy

Jin continues setting new records as a composer and vocalist. His mega-popular song 'Moon' is now the longest-charting solo song from the MOTS7 album on the Top1000 Melon chart - 476 days and counting.

"Moon" by Kim Seokjin becomes the longest charting BTS solo from MOTS7 album on MelOn (the largest music platform in SK). Jin is now the longest charting member since the change of MelOn charting rules (unique listeners + downloads + streams)

What is interesting about MelOn charts is that their policy changed drastically just a year ago. Previously, the chart was getting formed based solely on the number of streams. Now it is basing not only on streams, but the number of unique listeners and downloads plays a major part. It helps the platform to find out what songs really got the attention of the general public, a.k.a the millions of MelOn users. After the change in policy, the majority of songs dropped lower on the chart or even exited it. However, "Moon" by Jin started charting only higher!

Charting on MelOn became way more difficult since the song really should get the love of the diverse public. Kim Seokjin is now the longest-charting BTS member after the change of MelOn policy.

oh i just realized melon finally applied their new rule, it will be hard for literaly every idol bc either the song will be a huge hit or a massive flop, all really depend on unique listeners and fandom power cant push the song to the top spot anymore

#4 Longest charting MOTS:7 song
