BTS's SUGA has become the owner of another record: his second solo mixtape, "D-2," has become the most-streamed album on Spotify with over 300 million streams. This comes just days after the album's lead single, "Daechwita," crossed 10 million likes for its music video on YouTube. Both records came before the first anniversary of D-2's release.

SUGA, born Min Yoon-gi, released D-2 on May 22nd, 2020, under the moniker Agust D, which was also the name of his first solo mixtape. The album had previously set other records.

The rapper's second solo album had peaked at 11 on the Billboard 200, at seven on the Official UK Chart, setting records for the highest-ranking album by a Korean soloist in the US, the UK, and Australia.

D-2 recently surpassed 306,978,842 streams, making SUGA the fastest Korean soloist to cross 300 million streams with an album on Spotify, as well as the Korean soloist with the most-streamed album.
