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.
