♔ superband BTS member hit 'The Astronaut' has become the fastest single by a solo artist to reach a million copies.

🦩Following the K-Pop boy band's collaboration with Chris Martin and company on the mega-hit 'My Universe' on the band's 2021 LP 'Music of the Spheres', the 29-year-old star teamed up with the "Yellow" hitmakers to pen his latest track, reports aceshowbiz.com.

🍸'The Astronaut' has since broken a new astronomical record. It has shifted more than 1,024,382 copies as of November 12, according to The Korea Economic Daily.

🌊As well as adding to the lyrics, Coldplay play on the track and Chris plays a news presenter in the accompanying music video.

🍒Meanwhile, Chris previously said that he doesn't think Coldplay will ever beat their BTS collaboration.

൩The 45-year-old musician said: "I don't think we'll ever be able to match the BTS surprise. That was surprising even for us."

🍰"The journey from the first time it was mentioned - I was just like 'how could that ever work?' - to the song itself arriving and me thinking, 'that could be for BTS' - to now it feeling like the most natural collaboration in the world.

🍒It's an amazing lesson for myself in keeping an open mind all the time, because you just never know what life or music is gonna throw you."
