BTS’s Jimin has made another impressive achievement with his song “Who”, as it continues its strong presence on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, now charting for 16 consecutive weeks.
On November 12, Billboard released its latest chart rankings for the week of November 16, and Jimin’s “Who” made a notable jump, rising 11 spots to reach No. 44 on the Hot 100. This marks the 16th week the song has been featured on the chart, a testament to its ongoing global success.
“Who” is now the only Korean solo track to remain in the top 60 of the Hot 100 for 16 weeks since 2013. It also set a new record for the highest 16th-week ranking for a solo Korean artist's song during this time.
The track first debuted on July 19, 2023, at No. 14, then surged to No. 12 in its second week, where it reached its highest position. Since then, “Who” has enjoyed four reentries on the chart, with this latest rise to No. 44 showing its lasting popularity.
In addition to its Hot 100 performance, “Who” climbed 3 spots to No. 13 on the Billboard Global 200 and maintained its position at No. 12 on the Global (Excluding U.S.) chart, marking 16 weeks on both charts.
The song also made a big leap on the Billboard Streaming Songs chart, jumping 16 spots to No. 30, making it the second-longest charting song by a Korean artist in this category since 2013.
Jimin’s success doesn’t stop there—he reentered the Billboard Artist 100 chart at No. 91, becoming the first and only Korean solo artist to top this chart. His solo album MUSE, which features “Who”, also saw growth, moving up two spots to No. 137 on the Billboard 200.
This marks the longest-charting album by a Korean artist on this chart in 2024. Additionally, MUSE held steady at No. 2 on the Billboard World Albums chart.
Meanwhile, “Who” continues to break records, surpassing 983 million streams on Spotify as of November 13. With a total of 1.3 billion streams for “Like Crazy”, Jimin is quickly approaching the 1 billion mark for “Who”, adding another major milestone to his solo career.
