BTS V's 'Christmas Tree' broke the Korean drama OST record on Shazam. 

The main OST 'Christmas Tree' of the drama 'Our Beloved Summer' and has surpassed 1.4 million Shazam on May 1. This is the highest record among the Korean OST history, and it is also the highest record set by a male idol soloist.

Shazam Chart is a music platform that reflects streaming based on the number of searches for music. The chart is a list that reflects the trends of real-time listeners, and is used as data in the selection process of American radio broadcasts.

After its release, V's 'Christmas Tree' broke through 200,000 Shazam in 15 days, the shortest period as a K-pop male idol soloist, 400,000 Shazam in 31 days, and 1 million Shazam in 85 days. After that, it recorded 1.4 million Shazam in 127 days, breaking the record of 'Stay With Me', which held the best Shazam record for 5 years, and broke the record for the best Korean OST.

The record set by 'Christmas Tree' in Shazam is splendid. And 'Christmas Tree' is showing off its strongest power not only on Shazam, but also on domestic and foreign music platforms. It has surpassed 100 million streams in the fastest period among K-pop male soloists, and currently has a record of 138.33 million at Sportify, another music platform. 

It also charted in 129 days in a row at Melon, the largest music platform in Korea and has recorded 1.5 million total viewers and 34.1 million streaming, proving its status as a steady seller.

'Christmas Tree' was released on Christmas Eve last year, when legend carol songs took over the charts, and in the season with the highest barriers to entry on the Billboard, it entered the US Billboard 'Hot 100' chart for the first time in Korean OST history.
