BTS’ Jimin is once again proving he’s a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene. On July 12, 2025, his solo single Who hit an incredible milestone—spending 50 consecutive weeks on both Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. US charts. It’s a rare achievement only a few artists around the world have managed, and Jimin is the first Asian act to ever do it with two different songs.

Who, the lead track from Jimin’s second solo album Muse, is still going strong. Even after nearly a year since its release, it ranks at No. 108 on the Global 200 and No. 66 on the Global Excl. US chart. Fans continue to connect with the song’s raw emotion, polished production, and Jimin’s distinct vocal style—elements that have helped it hold steady on global charts week after week.

This success builds on the path Jimin paved with Like Crazy, his first solo hit from the album Face. That song has already made history by staying on the Global 200 for 61 weeks and the Global Excl. US for 68 weeks—longer than any other K-pop solo song. It also became the first by a Korean soloist to top Billboard’s Hot 100. Now, with Who joining the ranks, Jimin stands alone as the only Asian artist to have two separate songs chart for 50 weeks or more on both major Billboard global charts.

Who didn’t just shine internationally—it also made waves in the U.S., spending 33 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaking at No. 12. That run was the longest for any K-pop soloist at the time and added yet another milestone to Jimin’s growing list of records.

These accomplishments reflect more than just chart success—they show the strength of Jimin’s artistry and the dedication of his fanbase. His supporters continue to stream, share, and promote his work all over the world, keeping his music at the top even months after its release.

Looking ahead, as BTS prepares for a highly anticipated group comeback and a world tour in 2026, Jimin’s solo era continues to stand tall. With two blockbuster singles behind him and millions still tuning in, Jimin’s legacy as a global music powerhouse is only growing. And if the past is any clue, more record-breaking moments are almost certainly on the way.
