In the absence of BTS members Army (fanbase) displaying devotion toward BTS, their debut track ‘No More Dream’ has reached a remarkable milestone, ascending to the top of the iTunes US Charts ten years after its first release. This significant accomplishment coincides with the individual members of the septet beginning their military service, reinforcing the global reach and timeless appeal of BTS’s music.
As Jin, J-Hope, SUGA, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook set off on their respective military paths, their music continues to defy the constraints of time. ‘No More Dream’, which was released in 2013, has become the group’s 32nd song to achieve the No.1 spot on iTunes US, highlighting the song’s persistent popularity and the steadfast support of their loyal fanbase, ARMY.
