BTS's Jimin writes new Billboard history with the longest chart runs by a K pop solo artist

— by

Jimin of BTS is continuing his powerful solo run by setting historic records on Billboard, drawing major attention ahead of the group’s full comeback.

According to Billboard, Jimin’s second solo album MUSE title track Who re entered the Billboard Global 200 at No. 188, extending its chart run to an impressive 72 weeks.

With this, Who has become the first and only K pop solo song ever to remain on the Global 200 for 72 weeks, after previously reaching No. 1 twice on the chart.

The song also showed strong momentum on the Billboard Global (excluding U.S.) chart, jumping 19 spots to No. 133 and marking 76 weeks on the chart.

This achievement makes Who the first and only K pop solo song to reach 76 weeks on that chart, a milestone made even more notable as it was achieved without any Western artist collaborations.

Jimin’s earlier solo success also adds to the record breaking run. His first solo album FACE title track Like Crazy previously charted for 61 weeks on the Global 200 and 68 weeks on the Global (excluding U.S.) chart, making it the second longest charting K pop solo song after Who.

Meanwhile, MUSE continues its historic performance on the Billboard World Albums chart. The album, which holds the record as the first and only K pop solo album to rank No. 1 eight times, placed at No. 14 this week and reached 77 consecutive weeks on the chart, another unmatched milestone for a K pop solo release.

Adding to the list of achievements, Who also appeared on Billboard’s 2025 year end charts, ranking No. 57 on the Hot 100, becoming the only non collaboration K pop solo song to enter the year end Hot 100.

With multiple long running chart records and consistent global rankings, Jimin is solidifying his position as one of the most successful K pop solo artists on Billboard.
