As expected, the 'History Maker'! BTS's Jimin continues his record-breaking streak on the U.S. Billboard charts.


BTS's Jimin has once again shined as a 'History Maker' on the U.S. Billboard charts.


According to the latest chart rankings announced by Billboard, Jimin's second solo album MUSE's title track Who climbed 11 spots on the Billboard Hot 100, landing at No. 33. With this, Who has successfully remained on the chart for 31 weeks, tying with PSY’s Gangnam Style for the longest-charting K-pop solo song in Hot 100 history. The only K-pop song that has lasted longer is BTS’s Dynamite, which stayed on the chart for 32 weeks.
Jimin, who previously became the first K-pop soloist to top the Billboard Hot 100 with Like Crazy from his first solo album FACE, now holds two historic records—he is the only K-pop soloist with both the highest-ranking Hot 100 song (Like Crazy at No. 1) and the longest-charting solo song (Who at 31 weeks).


MUSE, the album featuring Who, ranked No. 23 on the Billboard 200, marking its 32nd consecutive week on the chart. This achievement extends its record as the longest-charting K-pop solo album and makes it the only 2024 K-pop release to remain on the chart for 32 weeks.


Additionally, Jimin has reached No. 1 on the Billboard World Albums chart a total of 11 times—five times with FACE and six times with MUSE—making him the first and only K-pop soloist to achieve this feat. His outstanding performance on the Billboard charts further cements his status as a global powerhouse.


Meanwhile, Jimin has also reached No. 81 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart, spending a total of 39 weeks on the chart—the longest for any K-pop soloist. He holds both the highest ranking and the longest entry record for a Korean solo artist. Additionally, Who ranked No. 24 on both the Global 200 and Global (Excl. U.S.) charts, and No. 22 on the Streaming Songs chart, proving his unwavering popularity across multiple Billboard rankings.
