BTS's Jimin is proving his global popularity once again! His title track "Who" from his second solo album MUSE has made a splash on the UK Official Singles Chart, staying on the chart for 13 consecutive weeks. According to the UK Official Chart released on the 19th (KST), "Who" is currently in 38th place on the Official Singles Top 100 chart.

With this milestone, "Who" sets a new record for the longest run by a K-pop solo song on this chart since it was revamped in 2014. The song debuted at 4th place on July 19 and has stayed in the top 55 for the past 13 weeks, including an impressive 7 weeks in the top 40, showing just how popular it is.

"Who" also made a strong entrance on the Official Singles Download and Singles Sales charts, hitting number one and keeping that spot for three weeks in a row. In its 13th week since release, it ranked 5th on both charts, maintaining a position in the top 25 throughout its entire run. This achievement extends the record for the longest simultaneous chart run for a Korean solo song on these charts to 13 weeks.

The song has not only dominated in sales but has also secured its place with 10 entries in the top 10 of both the Official Singles Sales and Singles Download charts. It is now the first and only Korean song to have 10 weeks in the top 10 simultaneously.

Additionally, "Who" has made its presence known on the Official Audio Streaming Chart at 43rd place and the Streaming Chart at 47th place, proving its popularity across various platforms.

As of October 17, Jimin's "Who" reached 48th place on the UK Apple Music Daily Top 100 chart, marking a new high for a K-pop solo song on that chart. This achievement showcases Jimin's strong appeal and unwavering popularity in the UK!

BTS’s Jimin is showing no signs of slowing down as a solo artist! His second album, MUSE, and its title track, Who, continue to dominate the U.S. Billboard charts, cementing his place as one of K-pop’s biggest global stars.

In the latest Billboard update (December 28), Jimin’s hit song Who ranked 47th on the Hot 100, marking its impressive 22nd consecutive week on the chart. This makes Who the longest-charting song by a Korean solo artist, surpassing the record previously set by Psy’s Gangnam Style. And it’s not just that—Who is the first K-pop solo song to spend its first 22 weeks in the Hot 100’s Top 60.

But the success doesn’t stop there. Jimin’s album MUSE, which includes Who, also continues to shine. It’s ranked 136th on the Billboard 200, securing its 22nd week on the chart. This makes MUSE the only K-pop album released in 2024 to have stayed on the chart for such a long period.

On top of that, Who has been making waves on several other Billboard charts. On the Streaming Songs chart, it holds the No. 32 spot, marking its 22nd week. This achievement makes it the second-longest-charting K-pop track, just behind Gangnam Style. The song also stays strong on the Global 200 and Global (Excluding U.S.) charts, sitting at No. 25 and No. 30, respectively.

The success of Who is also reflected in MUSE’s performance. The album recently reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the World Albums chart and is currently at No. 2. MUSE has now extended its record as the second-longest-charting K-pop solo album, just behind Jimin’s first solo album, FACE (which charted for 63 weeks).

These accomplishments have earned Jimin praise from U.S. media outlet AsianEAC, which dubbed him a “living legend.” They highlighted that Jimin achieved all these milestones despite having “no promotions in the U.S. during the Christmas season, no high-profile collaborations, and while serving his military duty.”

Jimin’s success is a true testament to his talent and global impact!
