Big Bang streams triple as fans revisit old favorites

Big Bang has picked up steam on streaming platforms on the back of its 20th anniversary concerts, according to Melon’s Data Lab on Tuesday.

The largest streamer in Korea said that total streams of the group’s songs skyrocketed 333 percent in August from the previous month.

“Haru Haru” recorded the biggest surge, jumping back into Melon’s Top 100 at No. 91 and climbing up to No. 67, racking up almost three times the average streams it garnered before the trio’s much-anticipated reunion concerts.

Big Bang’s latest single “BiiiG,” dropped on Aug. 19, debuting atop Melon’s Top 100 and daily singles ranking.

The trio of anniversary concerts Aug. 21-23 kicked off the group’s world tour “XX: Cosmos,” which will continue in 18 cities and 32 shows through early next year.
