Jimin Achieves Historic Milestone on Billboard Hot 100
BTS’s Jimin has reached an impressive new milestone with his solo hit “Who”. For the week ending October 26, the track held steady at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking its 13th week in the Top 40. This achievement places “Who” alongside PSY’s legendary 2012 hit “Gangnam Style” as the only two K-pop solo songs to spend 13 weeks in the Hot 100’s Top 40.
First K-Pop Solo Song to Stay 13 Weeks in Top 40 From Debut
What makes Jimin’s feat even more extraordinary is that “Who” is now the first-ever K-pop solo song to spend its first 13 weeks in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. This distinction sets it apart from “Gangnam Style,” which first debuted at No. 64 before climbing into the Top 40.
“Who” Continues to Dominate Global and U.S. Charts
In addition to his success on the Hot 100, Jimin’s “Who” has maintained a strong presence across other Billboard charts. The track secured its ninth week on the Pop Airplay chart at No. 29, showing strong radio play across U.S. stations. On the global stage, it ranked No. 8 on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 13 on the Global 200.
“MUSE” Album and Artist 100 Success
Jimin’s success extends beyond just his single. His solo album “MUSE” climbed back up to No. 97 on the Billboard 200 and held firm at No. 2 on the World Albums chart. On the Artist 100, Jimin rose to No. 55, marking his 24th week on the chart, further cementing his status as a global music powerhouse.
A Record-Breaking Year for Jimin
With “Who” continuing to break records and solidify Jimin’s place in K-pop history, fans and industry insiders alike are eager to see what more 2024 holds for the talented BTS member.
