BTS is drawing renewed global attention as both its solo releases and group tracks record a wide-ranging resurgence across Billboard charts, amplifying anticipation for the group’s long-awaited full-member comeback.
On December 24, BigHit Music cited Billboard’s latest charts dated December 27, noting that solo tracks by RM, Jin, Jung Kook, and Jimin have secured strong positions across major rankings, reaffirming the group’s formidable presence.
RM’s solo track “Nuts” made a surprise return to No. 2 on the World Digital Song Sales chart, while Jin’s “Don’t Say You Love Me” (No. 83), Jung Kook’s “Seven” (No. 104), and Jimin’s “Who” (No. 161) continued their steady momentum on the Global Excl. U.S. chart.
These results are particularly significant as they reflect sustained long-term performance on the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which are widely regarded as indicators of tangible global demand based on streaming and sales data.
In addition, Jin’s first solo album “Happy” (No. 12) and Jimin’s “MUSE” (No. 18) ranking high on the World Albums chart further demonstrate that each member’s individual musical capabilities have firmly connected with a broad global audience.
The strong response to the members’ solo activities has also led to renewed attention on the group’s earlier releases and anthology albums. Released in 2018, “Anpanman” recently saw sales surge by approximately 50,000 percent, topping the World Digital Song Sales chart, while the anthology album “Proof” continues its long-term run at No. 8 on the World Albums chart.
This trend suggests that global fandom support is once again coalescing around BTS’s broader musical narrative as the group’s full-member return comes into clearer focus.
In this context, international media outlets including U.S. business magazine Forbes described the phenomenon as “a clear example showing that America is enthusiastic about everything related to BTS,” highlighting the group’s overwhelming brand value.
Ultimately, the combination of each member’s individual achievements and the simultaneous resurgence of group tracks is drawing attention as a clear numerical and cultural indicator of the far-reaching impact expected from BTS’s full-group activities, including a new album release and world tour slated for next spring.
Meanwhile, BTS has officially entered full-scale preparations for a new album and a large-scale world tour targeted for next spring, recently sharing glimpses of rehearsal room scenes through various channels to further heighten global fan anticipation.
