BTS member Jin is showing his unstoppable power as a solo artist!
His second mini album Echo, released on May 16, continues to make waves worldwide. The album’s title track “Don’t Say You Love Me” has been holding strong at No.1 on Spotify Korea for two days straight, according to the Spotify chart released on June 10.
That’s not all—Jin also remains at No.1 on the Top Artist chart in Korea, and currently has six songs charting on Spotify Korea’s Top Songs chart—the most among all artists at the moment.
Over in Japan, the song is seeing even more success. “Don’t Say You Love Me” has been No.1 on Spotify Japan for a jaw-dropping 18 days in a row as of June 9. It also topped the Spotify Weekly Top Songs Japan chart for two weeks straight, showing no signs of slowing down.
On a global level, Jin is making history. The song hit No.1 on Spotify Global (dated May 25), becoming the first and only song by an Asian artist to top the chart in 2025 so far. He now joins Bad Bunny and Playboi Carti as one of the only three artists to reach No.1 on Spotify Global with a 2025 release.
Even more impressively, the song held onto the No.2 spot on Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global chart (for May 30 to June 5) for the second week in a row, proving its massive international appeal.
“Don’t Say You Love Me” has now joined a very exclusive club—becoming just the fourth song by an Asian artist to hit No.1 on Spotify Global, Korea, and Japan. The others are Jungkook’s “Seven”, Jimin’s “Who”, and BTS’s “Dynamite”.
The track is also crushing it on Shazam, the world’s biggest music search platform. It stayed at No.1 on Shazam Japan for 20 days straight, and continues to perform strongly on Deezer Japan too. All seven songs from Echo are charting in order, showing the album's overall impact.
To top it off, the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) just announced that Echo has been officially certified Gold for May’s total shipments. This marks Jin’s third Gold certification as a solo artist—after receiving Gold for The Astronaut and Platinum for Happy.
With record-breaking success across charts, platforms, and countries, Jin is proving once again why he's not just a member of BTS—but a global superstar in his own right.
