BTS’s RM — “Nuts” Reaches No. 1 on iTunes in 45 Regions

RM’s solo track “Nuts” (2024), a B-side from his solo album Right Place, Wrong Person, climbed to No. 1 on iTunes’ top songs charts in 45 regions — including Argentina, Brazil and Mexico — a year and a half after its release, according to BigHit Music. The resurgence underscores the power of fan engagement and streaming activity led by ARMY.

Why “Nuts” surged on global iTunes charts

BigHit Music attributed the renewed success to RM’s active communication with fans and ARMY’s immediate response. Recently RM revealed he had earned his driver’s license. Fans noted that “Nuts” contains driving-related lines — specifically “He a pro ridah, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo rider / Must be an A1 guider” — and streamed the song to celebrate and congratulate the rapper, pushing it up iTunes charts worldwide.

ARMY-driven campaigns revive older BTS songs

This is not the first time fans have propelled BTS tracks back onto global charts. Last month, BTS’s 2015 track “Ma City” topped iTunes’ top songs charts in 16 regions — ten years after its release — after an online campaign using the hashtag #BTSInMaCity, where fans posted photos and videos using “Ma City” as background music to encourage the band to play in their cities during future tours.

Earlier this month, BTS’s 2017 hip-hop song “Anpanman” also climbed global charts. The track reached No. 1 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart for the week of Dec. 20 — seven years and seven months after it was released as a B-side on the album Love Yourself ‘Tear’ — and topped iTunes top songs charts in 75 regions.

BigHit Music: Streaming momentum shows support for BTS comeback

BigHit Music said the renewed popularity of “Anpanman” and “Nuts” demonstrates ARMY’s active support ahead of BTS’s planned comeback next spring, highlighting how coordinated fan engagement can influence iTunes charts and Billboard rankings.
