BTS member Jimin has proven that his popularity knows no bounds, especially in Russia, where his solo track "Who" is taking over the music scene!
On December 23, Russian media outlet RBC revealed that K-pop music, particularly Jimin’s songs, is dominating the local charts. His hit song “Who” has been making waves, and it's easy to see why!
“Who”, from Jimin’s second solo album MUSE, earned an impressive 4th place on Russia’s Apple Music "Top 100 of 2024" chart.
This made it the most popular K-pop track in the country for the year. Not only that, but his first solo song “Like Crazy” also made it to the 97th spot, proving Jimin’s incredible influence with two tracks on the list.
But that’s not all! “Who” claimed the second spot on the Apple Music “Top 100” chart in Russia, marking the highest rank ever for a Korean artist’s song there.
It also became the first and only Korean track to break into the top 5, showing the world just how powerful Jimin's solo music is!
On Apple Music’s city charts, “Who” has spent a record-breaking 158 days at #1 in Moscow and 163 days in Saint Petersburg.
The music video for “Who” also made history by staying at #1 on Apple Music's “Top Video Russia” chart for 135 days, the longest #1 streak in 2024.
Jimin’s success doesn’t stop there. “Who” topped TNT Music’s “Top Chart” for 5 weeks, spent a total of 19 weeks on the chart, and even claimed its 6th #1 spot on MUZ TV's Like FM Chart.
Plus, “Who” maintained its reign on “Love Radio’s” Big Love 20 chart for 5 consecutive weeks, earning Jimin the title of “Best Foreign Singer of the Year” at the 2024 Love Radio Awards.
Even while serving in the military, Jimin’s song “Who” has been unstoppable, remaining on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for an incredible 22 weeks straight and surpassing 1.277 billion streams on Spotify.
Jimin’s record-breaking success in Russia and around the world is a testament to his global influence and the power of his music!
