BTS‘ Jimin is not only a member of the world’s largest-selling, most popular K-pop group. He’s also a solo artist making a splash in the global music industry. Jimin’s recent achievements on Spotify, the world’s leading music streaming platform, are a testament to his growing influence and popularity.

Jimin‘s debut solo single, “Like Crazy,” has been a sensation since its release. It notched 254,000 pure sales in its first week. Four months after its initial release, the song has only gotten bigger. As of August 5, it earned 400 million streams on Spotify in 133 days. That made it the fastest song by a Korean soloist to hit this milestone, breaking the previous record of 159 days. (Incidentally, that record was set by Jimin’s fellow BTS member, Jungkook, with the Charlie Puth collaboration “Left and Right.”)

But that’s not all. On August 6, “Like Crazy” set another record on Spotify’s streaming charts. The song secured its spot at No. 44 in the Global Daily Top Songs chart based on data from August 5. Remarkably, this marked the song’s 124th day in the Top 50, surpassing Lisa‘s single “Money” which charted for 123 days. This achievement makes “Like Crazy” the K-pop solo track with the longest presence in the chart’s Top 50.

In addition to these accolades, “Like Crazy” is the most-streamed track by a Korean solo artist on Spotify USA, boasting 24.8 million streams. It remains the Korean solo track that has charted the longest on Spotify USA’s Daily Top Songs chart. Additionally, it’s the second-longest charting song by a K-pop solo artist and ranks third among all K-pop soloist songs on the chart.

Jimin’s other achievements on Spotify

Jimin‘s album, FACE, is also making significant strides. It recently became the most streamed LP by a Korean soloist in Spotify’s history, amassing 772 million streams in just 110 days. As of August 5, FACE had already surpassed 900 million streams in 135 days, shattering the previous record of 507 days set by LALISA. This makes FACE the first and only album by a Korean soloist to achieve such a feat.

All these milestones, achieved in just four months of his solo career, hint at a promising future for Jimin as a solo artist. Fans eagerly anticipate more successes in his journey, and given his current trajectory, they won’t have to wait long.
