Kim Taehyung has added one more feather to his illustrious cap of records. V's solo track "Christmas Tree" has got over 100 million Spotify streams within four months after its release.

TaeTae's original soundtrack for "Our Beloved Summer", a K-drama series, was released last year on December 24. Since then, it has gone on to break many records in both the domestic and international markets.

"Christmas Tree" has also become Taehyung's second official soundtrack, after "Sweet Night", to surpass 100 million streams, which makes him the second male act from Korea after BTS to earn the record with multiple OSTs.

Furthermore, V is now the first and only K-pop artist to have five solo tracks that have surpassed 100 million streams, which include his songs under BTS, namely "Inner Child", "Stigma", and "Singularity".

Nam Hyeseung, the music director who wrote 'Christmas Tree' with Kim Taehyung in mind from the planning stages, also shared the milestone achievement via her Instagram story.

Meanwhile, fellow band member Jimin has set his own record by becoming the first artist to have two songs with 110 #1s on iTunes as of April 27. "With You" has become the the fastest track to dominate iTunes charts in 110 countries in iTunes's history.
