BTS's Jimin is making waves again, and this time, it’s for breaking a huge record on the Billboard Hot 100!

On January 21st (local time), Billboard took a moment to celebrate the unprecedented achievement set by Jimin. In a feature about non-English songs reaching the top 10 on the 'Hot 100,' Billboard highlighted Jimin's hit track "Like Crazy" from his solo album FACE.

Billboard revealed that in its 67-year history, only 39 non-English songs have ever made it to the top 10 on the Hot 100, and just 10 of them have ever claimed the number one spot. Among these, BTS's "Life Goes On," the BTS and Coldplay collaboration "My Universe," and Jimin’s "Like Crazy" are the only Korean songs to have topped the chart.

What’s even more impressive? Jimin’s "Like Crazy" is the ONLY Korean solo song in history to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This makes Jimin the first Korean solo artist ever to claim this spot, cementing his place as a true superstar and putting BTS in the same league as legendary groups like The Beatles and The Supremes with multiple number-one hits!

Thanks to this massive achievement, Jimin has earned global recognition. American media outlet SINGERSROOM named him the "Most Famous Singer in Korea," while Interview 365 picked him as one of their top 10 "Good People" in their 33rd edition. Plus, he was included in The New York Times' list of "20 Things That Happened for the First Time in 2023," which only highlights how big his success truly is.

But Jimin's achievements don't stop there. In the same week he topped the Hot 100, he also claimed the number-one spot on the Billboard Artist 100 chart. He’s now one of only nine Korean artists to ever do this – and the only solo artist among them.

Jimin is proving time and time again that he’s an international powerhouse, and fans can’t wait to see what he does next.

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
