BTS's Jimin has solidified his remarkable solo power by charting on the U.S. Billboard for a consecutive 30 weeks with his song 'Like Crazy.'
According to the latest Billboard chart dated October 28, Jimin's 'Like Crazy' secured the 106th position on the 'Global 200' chart, marking an incredible 30-week streak on the charts. This achievement is a historic milestone in the history of Korean solo artists.
'Like Crazy,' which became the first solo song by a Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Hot 100, also made history in the U.S. by selling over one million copies in 2023, becoming the first K-pop solo song to achieve this feat. It continues to hold the record for the highest sales among all Korean solo songs.
Additionally, on the 'Global (Excluding the U.S.)' chart, Jimin reached the 71st spot this week, further extending his charting streak to 30 weeks. He now holds the record for the longest-charting solo artist on this chart among all South Korean soloists. Furthermore, on this week's 'World Digital Song Sales' chart, 'Like Crazy' re-entered at the impressive fourth position, setting a new record for the longest charting streak for a South Korean solo artist in 2023, with 17 consecutive weeks on the chart.
Jimin's album 'FACE,' which includes 'Like Crazy,' is the only album by a South Korean solo artist to make an appearance on the 'World Albums' chart this week. It climbed one spot higher than the previous week to reach the 13th position, achieving a 30-week streak on the chart and breaking the record for the longest charting by a South Korean solo artist.
'FACE' not only holds the record for the longest-charting solo album by a South Korean artist for four consecutive weeks on this chart but also continues to be the album with the longest presence on the charts among all albums released by South Korean artists in 2023. This achievement firmly establishes Jimin as the undeniable reigning king of K-pop.
