SHINee’s beloved maknae, Taemin, has once again showcased his incredible artistry and global appeal with his latest achievement. His track “Guilty” has just surpassed 50 million streams on Spotify, making it his fifth and fastest song to reach this milestone. Released as the title track of his fourth mini-album, Guilty, on October 30, 2023, the song hit this impressive number in just nine months. This is a notable feat, as his previous fastest track, “Advice,” took 13 months to achieve the same milestone.
As of August 14, 2024, Taemin’s top five songs on Spotify are:
- “Guilty” with 50,063,611 streams
- “MOVE” with 115,891,386 streams
- “Advice” with 69,946,758 streams
- “Criminal” with 61,320,462 streams
- “WANT” with 50,715,645 streams
This milestone comes just in time for Taemin’s 10th solo debut anniversary, which he will celebrate on August 15, 2024. The excitement doesn’t end there—Taemin is set to release his highly anticipated fifth mini-album, ETERNAL, on August 19, 2024. The album promises to push his musical boundaries even further.
ETERNAL will feature two title tracks, “Sexy In The Air” and “Horizon,” both of which are expected to make a significant impact in the music scene. Taemin has composed all seven tracks on the album and has also penned lyrics for two standout songs, “Deja Vu” and “Say Less.” The other tracks are “G.O.A.T,” “The Unknown Sea,” and “Crush.”
With Taemin’s impressive track record, it’s exciting to see which song from ETERNAL might become his sixth track to surpass 50 million streams. Given his history of hit title tracks, either “Sexy In The Air” or “Horizon” could join the elite club. Taemin’s knack for crafting memorable music suggests that his new release will likely be another streaming sensation.
Earlier, on July 28, Taemin announced the details of his upcoming release, setting the stage for an exhilarating return. His fans are eagerly counting down the days until ETERNAL drops on August 19 at 6 p.m. KST, ready to support and celebrate the next chapter of Taemin’s extraordinary solo career.
