Let's start from conditions, shall we?
1. Promo roll-out was as shitty as it only could be. We found out about pre-release single with only 5 days of prior notice along with unpleasant news about physicals not being count to bb200 whole fandom was a mess and yet instead of focusing on their artist solo debut company decided to drop millions of irrelevant things and to promote some stupid game. I ain't even asking for big push and promo CP pulling for his collab, but at least smth like what was done for Kook and Yoongi ost company could do. But no, the only difference from mixtape drop MORE got is availability on Korean charts and Chinese market. Even pics are actually not so uncommon for mixtape cause both Yoongi and Joon got whole photoshoot in magazine for their first mixtapes (not Hoseok tho, he has always been getting bare minimum from company) and we all know teasing d-2 got. Literally no one from the people he has been working with for 11 years under hybe's roof is hyping or promoting MORE, Bongo (the dude known as Bang PD) is busy playing that seom game instead of caring about his artist's debut
2. MORE is not a collab and has no any feature of any sort. Plus it's not an english song.
3. MORE is a complicated song, not on the easy pop-like side.
So let's see results now.
Global
Reminder: no collab or any feature and basically no promo, it's all only Hoseok's power. Also among Korean artists only BTS, BP, Yoongi, Kook and Hoseok in history managed to gain over 5M streams for a song in its first day of release on Spotify and again Hoseok did it all by himself only. Imagine the power if he got proper promo?
Now let's talk about US. He has the biggest single-day streams for a Korean song by a Lead Soloist on US Spotify
Above him are literally only Bangtan members which went as features on releases of huge western artists, so Hoseok did all this slayage solely by himself and with Korean song. Who is even doing it like him? I've said it many times here on forum already and I'll say it again: US is Hoseok's market and strenght, there are many signs and reasons of it and such results only confirm it so the fact that hube sabotaging Hoseok's slayage on biillboard by not giving proper physicals is so nasty.
Another amazing thing that happened is Japan. MORE got #1 on itunes there, which is amazing cause it didn't happened for CNS, Japan was the only #1 missing there from big markets (tbh I don't even remember that CNS went to Japan itunes), with MORE Hoseok got #1 on intunes in all big markets. He really gained a lot of fans in Japan, I've been suspecting it cause more and more reaction videos appeared about him from Japanese and I am glad to see proof that it actually indeed happened.
Also it seems like Japan along with US, India and Latam region hard carries yotube views
Also just few other mentions)
Obviously Latam King thrived in Latam
China
Pakistan
MORE did amazingly well considering conditions. Couldn't be more proud of Hoseok, he really hard carried this all by himself and his talent.
