BTS 25×1B began with two simple truths:
I love BTS, and I have a geeky fondness for watching numbers climb.

 

What started as a little playlist boost for ARMY soon grew into a full project. I once dreamed of “BTS 25×25” — 25 BTS songs each hitting a billion streams by 2025. Life didn’t cooperate, and updating huge charts every week became a battle I couldn’t keep up with.

 

So I simplified the mission:
keep the playlists, keep them updated, keep them useful.

 

Now there’s a playlist for the group, one for each member, a rapline mix, a “least streamed” treasure hunt, and more — all curated weekly to help move BTS steadily toward the Billion Club.

 

I still track the numbers manually, recording each song's stream count and ranking the 25 songs closest to one billion. The numbers are updated weekly, because apparently my geeky fondness for watching numbers climb has become an actual ongoing project.

The goal is simple:
 

Let BTS be the soundtrack of everyday life — cleaning, driving, walking the dog, cooking, daydreaming, everything.

Let skeptics wonder how ARMY does it.
We’ll just keep streaming — quietly, steadily, naturally.

 

Because these playlists aren’t just numbers.
They’re a celebration of music we love, woven into our daily lives like breath.
