BTS 'Spring Day' exits the Melon chart, after more than 8 years

BTS' beloved song Spring Day ended its historic run on the Melon Weekly Chart this week. The song, released back in February 2017, remained in the Top 100 for 3,136 days before dropping out on September 15. That's more than eight years, 447 consecutive weeks, making it the longest-charting song in Melon's history. For ARMYs, this feels like closing a chapter, as it wasn't just a song but an amazing milestone.

Spring Day, BTS' one of the most celebrated songs

Released as the main single from BTS' You Never Walk Alone album, a repackage of their 2016 album Wings, the track quickly grew into one of the group's most celebrated songs. The alternative hip hop and pop rock ballad went on to win Song of the Year at the 2017 Melon Music Awards and the Digital Bonsang at the 32nd Golden Disc Awards, while also earning nominations for higher honors. The track's popularity spreads globally. It secured four music show wins, dropped in a Japanese version in 2017, and even got a special SoundCloud remix in 2018.

Spring Day has been close to the hearts of fans for years. One fan posted, "Bring back spring day on melon !! I'm dying".

Meaning that lingers on

For years, Spring Day has been linked to the 2014 Sewol Ferry Disaster. BTS never verified that theory, though leader RM once acknowledged the assumption. "Many meanings can be drawn," RM had said in an old interview.
