BTS member V's solo track "Fri(end)s," released in March 2024, has achieved notable success on the UK Official Singles Chart. As of March 22, the song holds the No. 13 position on the chart, which is curated by the Official Charts Company, incorporating audio and video streams, downloads, as well as sales volume for CDs and vinyl.

"Fri(end)s" surpasses V's previous record set by "Slow Dancing," the lead track from his debut album "Layover," which reached No. 24 on the chart one week after its release in September of the previous year.

Additionally, "Fri(end)s" secured the top spot on the Official Singles Downloads Chart and attained the No. 2 position on the Official Singles Sales Chart.

Meanwhile, the collaboration track "One of the Girls," featuring Jennie of Blackpink alongside The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, has maintained a presence on the Top 100 Official Singles Chart for 17 consecutive weeks. The song gained prominence after being featured in the fourth episode of the HBO series "The Idol," in which Jennie also stars.

On a separate note, Pinkfong's viral sensation "Baby Shark" continues its chart presence, currently ranking at No. 66 after 87 weeks, experiencing a nine-spot decline from the previous week.
