'Permission To Dance' also makes its return to the chart after the announcement of the PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE concerts in Seoul and Las Vegas.
The rest of the list is dominated by members of BTS with the SUGA-produced (and co-written) track 'Stay Alive' coming in second. Performed by Jungkook, the song serves as the official soundtrack of their newly released webtoon 7FATES: CHAKHO and has recently broken the record for most number 1s on iTunes, topping charts in 106 countries as of press time.
Meanwhile, Jin's 'Yours,' the official soundtrack of the hit K-drama Jirisan, is at number 3. The 'Abyss' act also has another entry at number 5, his unexpected viral hit, 'Super Tuna'. Since its release last December, 'Super Tuna' has proven to be an equal rival to 'Baby Shark' spawning hundreds of dance covers from kids and adults alike, plus the likes of Baby Shark and Pinkfong themselves, the Teletubbies, Pororo, and more. Jin's birthday drop has also been a hit in clubs these days, being played across venues in New York, London, and Moscow.
'Christmas Tree' by V, the theme song to the beloved K-drama series, Our Beloved Summer, rounds up the top 10. The soundtrack was created by renowned musical director Nam Hye Seung (also behind the unforgettable OSTs of It's Okay To Not Be Okay, Crash Landing On You, Record of Youth) who only had good things to say about working with Kim Taehyung: "I had V in mind for his amazing tone that fitted with our Kdrama show 'Our Beloved Summer' so I really thank V, Kim Taehyung for working with us with such a talent!"
"Yes, the show no doubt one great show but it was definitely possible to list it as the first OST to make it into Hot 100 due to all your love and especially ARMY for always cheering and always updating me on this! I don't know every individual but we are all one and I am just trying to show my gratitude towards you all ❤ being happy and thanking me for this, but truly I thank you," she wrote in a post on Instagram.
