BTS member Jimin continues to shine with his enduring global popularity, as his songs have recently re-entered the Billboard U.S. and Billboard Japan charts.
According to American music magazine Billboard, Jimin’s song “Who” climbed seven spots to No. 128 on the Billboard Global 200 and jumped nine spots to No. 89 on the Global (Excl. U.S.) chart for the week of October 25, marking a notable rebound.
“Who,” which previously topped both the Global 200 and Global (Excl. U.S.) charts twice, has now remained on both charts for 65 consecutive weeks since its release on July 19, 2023, maintaining a remarkable long-run success.
Jimin has become the first and only Asian solo artist to have multiple songs (“Like Crazy” and “Who”) chart for over 65 weeks on Billboard’s Global (Excl. U.S.) chart. Notably, “Who” has now surpassed his own record held by “Like Crazy” (61 weeks) to become the longest-charting K-pop solo song on the Global 200, extending the record to 65 weeks.
Meanwhile, Jimin’s second solo album “MUSE,” which became the first and only K-pop solo album to top the Billboard World Albums chart eight times, ranked No. 9 this week, marking its 65th consecutive week on the chart. This achievement surpasses his previous record with “FACE” (63 weeks), making “MUSE” the first and only K-pop solo album to chart for 65 consecutive weeks on the Billboard World Albums chart.
