BTS V's "Blue" Surpasses 100 Million Streams, Cementing His Solo Stardom

Kim Taehyung, better known as V from BTS, continues to break records and set new milestones in his solo career. His song "Blue" has recently surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, making it the ninth track under his solo profile to achieve this feat.

"Blue" is part of Taehyung's debut solo album, 'Layover,' and is the fifth track from the album to reach the 100 million stream mark. This achievement follows the success of his previous solo hits, including "Sweet Night," "Christmas Tree," "It's Definitely You," "Love Me Again," "Rainy Days," "Slow Dancing," "FRI(END)S," and "For Us.”

The song "Blue" pays homage to old school R&B, infused with a modern twist. It begins with a simple guitar riff and gradually builds up with a blend of drums and Taehyung's sensual vocals. This combination creates a unique and captivating sound that resonates with listeners.

The music video for "Blue" is equally compelling, presented in grayscale. It portrays Taehyung driving around in search of someone, growing increasingly impatient with each unanswered call and knock. The video culminates with him sitting despondently on a swing, only to be joined by a woman who lets a dog, presumably his, run towards him.

"Blue" is more than just a song; it's an emotional journey exploring themes of obsessive love and unmet desires. The lyrics delve into deep emotional territory, expressing despair, hope, and inner turmoil. The grayscale video visually captures the melancholic essence of the song, symbolizing the relentless pursuit of love.

As a member of the global sensation BTS, Taehyung's solo success highlights the expanding influence of K-pop on the international music scene.
