BTS's Jimin has scored a big win with his song 'Who,' which has been chosen as the official summer song for this year! The global nonprofit organization RED selected 'Who' as the top track in its '2024 Song of the Summer' chart, which focuses on disease treatment and prevention programs.

RED is known for providing vaccines to underserved communities worldwide and running various health programs. The '2024 Song of the Summer' poll was done in collaboration with the record account 'ChartData' and the news outlet 'flat.'

In this voting, Jimin's 'Who' competed against songs from other famous artists, including Sabrina Carpenter's 'Please, Please, Please,' Megan Thee Stallion's 'Mamushi,' Kendrick Lamar's 'not like us,' and 'Freedom' by Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar.

Released on July 19, the first day of summer, Jimin's 'Who' debuted at third place on Spotify's global daily chart with 7,901,507 streams on its first day and maintained the number one spot for 20 consecutive days. It later ranked third on the Weekly Top Song Global chart for the period from September 20 to 26.

As of the latest update on September 29, 'Who' remains in third place on the global daily chart with 6,214,827 streams, extending its record as the longest-charting K-pop solo song in the Top 10. The album featuring 'Who,' titled 'MUSE,' also hit eighth place on Spotify's 'Weekly Top Albums Global' chart, marking its 10th consecutive week on the charts.

With its outstanding performance on major global charts since its release, 'Who' continues to gain popularity worldwide. It reached a peak position of 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the ninth week since its release, making it the highest rank for a K-pop solo song.

Additionally, Jimin's 'Who' previously topped the 'SONG OF THE SUMMER 24' poll by Seattle radio station Channel R Radio, and it continues to be loved as we transition from summer to fall.

BTS’s Jimin is unstoppable! His song Who has officially earned a Gold certification in Spain, making him the first and only K-pop solo artist to achieve this milestone twice.

On February 12, Spain’s PROMUSICAE, a member of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), awarded Who the prestigious Oro (Gold) certification. To receive this honor, a song must sell 30,000 units, including streaming equivalents.

Jimin previously earned his first Gold certification in Spain with Like Crazy in July 2024. Now, with Who also achieving Gold status, he has cemented his place as a true global superstar, proving his incredible popularity not just in Korea but all around the world.

His impact in Spain has been undeniable! Who made history by ranking No. 96 on Apple Music’s Top 100: Spain year-end chart, becoming the first and only song by an Asian artist to enter the list.

This marks the first time a K-pop song has ever appeared on Spain’s annual Apple Music chart.

The song’s performance on Spotify Spain has also been nothing short of legendary. Who has stayed on the Spotify Spain Weekly Top Songs chart for 30 consecutive weeks, making it the longest-charting K-pop solo song in the country.

It has also remained on the Daily Top Songs chart for an incredible 203 days, continuously extending its record.

Jimin’s influence in Spain continues to grow, and fans can’t wait to see what record he breaks next.
