BTS’s Jimin Enters Billboard Japan Hot 100 in 2025 Year-End Chart as the Only Korean Male Artist

BTS member Jimin showcased his unparalleled presence on Billboard Japan’s 2025 year-end charts.

According to Billboard Japan’s 2025 annual rankings released on December 5 (tracking period: November 25, 2024 to November 23, 2025), Jimin’s solo second album MUSE title track “Who” ranked No. 73 on the comprehensive singles chart, the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

With this achievement, Jimin was recorded as the only Korean male artist to appear on the chart this year. “Who” also ranked No. 61 on Billboard Japan’s year-end Streaming Songs chart, further demonstrating the sustained love the song received throughout the year.

In addition, MUSE, which previously ranked No. 41 on Billboard Japan’s main album chart Hot Albums in 2024, placed No. 87 on the same chart this year. As a result, MUSE became the first and only K-pop solo album to enter Billboard Japan’s year-end Hot Albums chart for two consecutive years.
