BTS Jimin's 'Like Crazy' achieves platinum certification from the American Record Association in the shortest time for a K-pop solo artist.
BTS Jimin's 'Like Crazy' has achieved remarkable success in the United States, becoming the best K-pop solo song of 2023.
Jimin's 'Like Crazy' became the first Korean solo song released in 2023 to exceed 1 million unit sales in the United States and received platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
This is the record for the fastest Korean solo singer ever to sell more than 1 million copies in the United States, and is an amazing achievement achieved in just 155 days without any large-scale advertisements, radio promotions, or playlists on global music platforms.
In addition, it is a non-English song that is bound to be disadvantaged on Billboard's main single chart 'Hot 100', where English-language songs are mainstream, and is not only the first Korean song by a K-pop solo singer in history, but also the only song to date to reach number one, and is highly popular in the local market. Wow, it has an overwhelming presence.
In particular, Jimin has achieved RIAA Gold certification for all three solo songs included in the BTS album, 'Lie', 'Serendipity Full Length', and 'Filter', and 'Like Crazy' has received RIAA Gold certification. Just 33 days after its release, it received gold certification and then platinum certification, proving its solo power.
Meanwhile, 'Like Crazy' shook off the momentum of running backwards for three weeks in a row on the latest Billboard chart dated September 2, ranking 50th in the 'Global 200' and 33rd in the 'Global (excluding the United States)', successfully entering both charts for 22 consecutive weeks. 'FACE' extended his record for the longest Korean solo album to 22 weeks by placing 12th on the 'World Album' chart, and ranked 75th on the 'Top Current Album Sales' chart, also charting for 22 consecutive weeks, achieving the best performance for a Korean solo album. It's being uploaded.
