• BTS’s Jimin Makes History with 22-Week Streak on Billboard’s Main Charts: ‘Who’ Breaks Records and Dominates

    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!
