BTS Jin's 'Moon' Skyrockets to #1 on India's iTunes Following Successful Lunar Landing
BTS's Jin's solo track 'Moon' has made a surprise ascent to the top of India's iTunes chart.
On the 24th, Jin's 'Moon' reclaimed the #1 spot on India's iTunes Top Song Chart. Featured in BTS's fourth full album 'MAP OF THE SOUL: 7', 'Moon' is an upbeat track that showcases Jin's solid vocals and refreshing tone. Jin, who took part in both the songwriting and composition, crafted this track as a love song to fans, likening them to Earth and himself to the moon that orbits it, expressing his unwavering desire to always be with them.
On the 23rd, India's lunar probe Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the moon's south pole, making India the fourth country in the world to achieve a lunar landing and the first to touch down on the moon's south pole. Previously, India had attempted to land the Chandrayaan-2 on the moon in 2019 but faced setbacks. Four years later, they celebrated this monumental achievement. In light of this historic event, Indian fans propelled BTS's Jin's 'Moon' back to the top of the iTunes chart in India as a celebratory gesture.
Jin's self-composed track 'Moon' had previously proven its global appeal by reaching #1 in a total of 111 countries on the iTunes Top Song Chart last year. The heartfelt lyrics of 'Moon', penned by Jin himself, liken fans to Earth and Jin to its moon, expressing a mutual desire to always be close. Lines such as, "Suddenly I wonder, do you truly know yourself? Do you realize how beautiful your existence is?" resonate deeply with fans, earning their immense love and admiration.
As of the afternoon of the 24th, 'Moon' has been streamed over 128.4 million times on South Korea's largest music platform, Melon. Additionally, on the world's largest music streaming platform, Spotify, it has surpassed 189.29 million streams, continuing its powerful performance both domestically and internationally.
