In the world of BTS, every fan knows that the group's songs have a magical way of resonating with their feelings. Whether you're navigating the blues with "Spring Day" or dancing your heart out to the infectious "Dynamite," there's a perfect BTS track for every mood.

The solo journeys of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook have also gifted fans with unforgettable music. Each member has carved out a unique artistic identity, showcasing their individual styles and talents.

With Jin marking a significant milestone by being the first member to enlist in the South Korean army in 2022, the band's journey into solo projects has taken on new meaning. As they all complete their military service by June 2025 and prepare to reunite in Seoul, it seems like the ideal time to dive into the world of their solo tracks.

Setting the Ground Rules for Our Ranking

Before we unveil our rankings, let’s clarify a few important points:

1. We're focusing on songs released after the formation of BTS in June 2013. Early creations by the members, like RM's teenage tracks, won’t make the list.

2. We're counting songs where a BTS member is credited as the main artist. While featured tracks don’t qualify, collaborative works where they share the spotlight do.

3. Solo versions of previously released BTS songs won’t be included, but mixtapes and solo albums are very much fair game.

4. Additionally, appearances where members performed songs as subunits or during special shows, like their iconic moment at Seo Taiji's anniversary concert, won’t be counted either.

5. We’ll use current stage names—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook—for consistency.

The BTS Universe: Where Individuality Meets Collaboration

The BTS universe is a spectacular tapestry of emotional, thought-provoking, and catchy music that transcends traditional pop boundaries. While the members harmonize brilliantly as a collective, their solo works reveal even more about their artistic souls. This ranking is a tribute to their solo endeavors and the diverse narratives they create.
