BTS member Jimin has once again made history on the iTunes charts. On July 14th, Jimin's solo track 'Filter' claimed the number one spot on the UK iTunes Top Songs Chart, achieving an all-kill across 119 countries and regions worldwide.
'Filter' is Jimin's solo track from BTS's fourth studio album, making BTS the first group ever to achieve an iTunes Top Songs Chart all-kill thanks to him.
Previously, Jimin reached the number one spot on the Billboard 'Hot 100' with 'Like Crazy,' contributing to BTS's six number ones and solidifying his role as BTS's frontman alongside legends like The Beatles and The Supremes.
Global media outlets noted, "Jimin's 'Filter' achieving an all-kill in 119 countries cements BTS as the first and only group to achieve a global iTunes all-kill," highlighting, "'Filter' showcases Jimin's artistic duality and confidently displays his multifaceted talent."
Jimin has set records with previous tracks like 'Like Crazy,' 'Closer Than This,' and 'With You,' all topping iTunes charts in 119 countries. With 'Filter,' he sets a new record as the first artist to have four songs top the iTunes Top Songs charts worldwide. Attention now turns to his latest release, 'Smeraldo Garden Marching Band,' which is on track to achieve a fifth all-kill, currently leading in 117 countries.
Additionally, bolstered by its success on the UK iTunes, 'Filter' re-entered the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart at 102nd place, maintaining a presence for 77 days. It also re-entered the European iTunes Song Chart at 70th place, charting for 45 days.
Moreover, 'Filter' surpassed 445 million streams on Spotify, setting a record as the solo track with the highest streaming numbers from that album.
