BTS’ power: Septet scripts history as Spring Day becomes FIRST song ever to surpass 1 billion streams on MelOn
BTS has reached yet another milestone. Their 2017 song Spring Day has amassed 1 billion streams in MelOn, becoming the first track ever to achieve the feat.
BTS continues to demonstrate its immense influence and dominance as a leading K-pop boy band. Almost 7 years later, their 2017 hit, Spring Day, has added yet another achievement to their long list. It has surpassed 1 billion streams on MelOn.
According to a recent update, BTS’ Spring Day has racked up a whopping 1 billion streams on MelOn. With this, the 2017 hit became the first and only song to attain the milestone in the platform’s history. This amazing achievement once again proved BTS was and will remain one of the best boy bands that reshaped K-pop history.
Congratulations BTS!
Released on February 13, 2017, Spring Day is the title track for You Never Walk Alone, a repackaged album of the septet’s second full album, Wings. The song has one of the most profound lyrics, and fans have long speculated that it partially signifies the tragedy of the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster.
Overall, this emotional ballad reflects the longing for lost love and the agony people continue to live without it. Through its nostalgic tune, Spring Day keeps the memory of those alive who lost their lives in the 2014 tragedy.
Needless to say, the song brought huge commercial success for BTS, who had debuted for 4 years at that point. It reached a benchmark as the fastest music video by a K-pop act to rack up 10 million views on YouTube at that time. Spring Day won the group several accolades, including the MelOn Music Awards, Golden Disk Awards, and more.
ARMYs now rejoice as, many years later, the hit track continues to soar high as one of the best K-pop tracks ever made.

In June 2025, the remaining members will be discharged and return to BTS activities. Although the septet’s last album Proof arrived in 2022, each member has been advancing in their solo career since then.
