The carol ‘White Christmas’, a duet between BTS member V and pop singer Bing Crosby, has topped the iTunes ‘Top Song’ charts in 43 countries around the world. According to the band‘s agency Big Hit Music, the song, which was released on the 6th, topped 43 countries, including France, Japan, and Finland, in less than 24 hours after its release. ‘White Christmas’, a song that became a worldwide hit sung by the legendary singer Bing Crosby in 1942, was reinterpreted and sung by V. Bing Crosby’s voice was extracted from a recording of the 1950s, and V‘s vocals were added, and a new accompaniment was added as if the two were singing together in the recording studio.
