BTS V's (Kim Taehyung) 'Layover' hits 1 BILLION streams on Spotify on its 4-month anniversary

Despite his hiatus, Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, continues to make significant strides as a soloist, consistently reaching new milestones.

Taehyung's critically acclaimed debut EP 'Layover' has surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform.


In 'Layover,' Taehyung seamlessly blends the classic with the modern while showcasing his distinctive vocal style. He combines his love for jazz, lo-fi, and R&B within the songs, presenting them visually through his vintage-inspired music videos.


The six-track EP, released on September 8, 2023, reached the 1-billion milestone precisely four months after its release.

Upon its release, 'Layover' received praise from critics for showcasing his distinct musical style and artistic vision, diverging from his group's typical sound and prevailing music trends.

As a result, the EP and its tracks firmly secured their positions among the top albums and songs of 2023, recognized by NME, Associated Press, Billboard, TimeOut, Rolling Stone, Consequence of Sound, and more.

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) celebrated this huge milestone by trending #LayoVer1BonSpotify, accompanied by congratulatory messages.

Congratulations, Taehyung!
