“Ended BTS” — ARMY Celebrate A New Milestone In The Most Unexpected Way
BTS are constantly breaking and setting new records with their music and RM‘s recent solo release, Indigo is no exception.
RM intended for Indigo to be “Especially more ‘Kim Namjoon’ and hopefully a new beginning” as the album chronicles his personal and sincere story over ten songs.
Fans immediately fell in love with the album, resonating with the emotional lyrics and even wanting to “go to war” with RM’s ex.
Given the incredible reception to the album, it is unsurprising that Indigo set the record for “the biggest debut for an album by a Korean soloist in Spotify history.”
RM's 'Indigo' earns the biggest debut for an album by a Korean soloist in Spotify history, with over 20 million streams.
