Congratulations Jimin
JIMIN and his fans achieved it... without the support of his company, without big playlists, without high positions in playlists, without radio, without advertising, without promotion... only JIMIN AND HIS FANS 💪💛🫂

The support showcases the deep connection fans feel with Jimin’s music and its global resonance.
The title track from MUSE, Who, also set records. It ranked No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 in its 25th week, making it the longest-charting song by a Korean soloist, surpassing PSY’s Gangnam Style.
Who tied with FIFTY FIFTY’s Cupid as the third longest-charting K-pop track, following BTS’ Dynamite (32 weeks) and Gangnam Style (31 weeks). It also performed strongly on other Billboard charts:
No. 21 on Global 200 and Global Excl. US.
No. 23 on Digital Song Sales.
No. 29 on Streaming Songs.
Beyond its Billboard 200 performance, MUSE climbed to No. 3 on Billboard World Albums, where it has charted for 26 weeks. The album’s success further solidifies Jimin’s status as a leading figure in K-pop.
The achievement follows his debut solo album FACE, which has spent 63 weeks on the World Albums chart, showing Jimin’s consistent impact.
With MUSE, Jimin continues to break barriers, even during his military service. He re-entered the Billboard Artist 100 chart at No. 69, remaining the first and only Korean soloist to top the chart.
