BTS’s Jimin has reached yet another remarkable milestone with his solo track “Who,” which has now earned its place as the second longest-charting K-pop solo song in the history of the UK’s Official Singles Chart.
For the week of January 16-22, the song remained steady at No. 13, marking its 20th week on the prestigious chart.
This achievement has propelled Jimin to surpass PSY’s “Gentleman” and solidify “Who” as one of the most successful K-pop solo songs to ever chart in the UK.
“Who” now stands as the second longest-charting K-pop solo track, only trailing behind PSY’s iconic global hit “Gangnam Style,” which dominated charts worldwide back in 2012.
When considering the broader landscape of K-pop music, “Who” holds an even more impressive rank, now sitting as the fourth longest-charting K-pop song in UK chart history, following not just “Gangnam Style” but also BTS’s record-breaking single “Dynamite” and the viral success of FIFTY FIFTY’s “Cupid.”
This remarkable achievement in the UK comes on the back of Jimin’s continued international success.
His track “Who” has not only made waves on streaming platforms but also achieved substantial commercial success.
In addition to maintaining a spot in the top 20 of the Official Singles Chart, “Who” re-entered the Official Singles Downloads Chart at No. 14, marking its ongoing popularity among fans and music buyers.
Also, it held onto a position on the Official Singles Sales Chart at No. 17, while also retaining its place on the Official Streaming Chart at No. 22.
Jimin’s success with “Who” is not just a testament to his artistry and global fanbase but also underscores the ever-growing influence of K-pop across international music markets.
His ability to maintain a steady position on the UK charts, despite the competitive nature of global music charts, highlights the undeniable impact of BTS and its members on the global music scene.
This success comes after a series of other groundbreaking achievements for Jimin, such as breaking records on the Billboard 200, where his solo album entered at an impressive position, and continuing to lead K-pop’s global presence.
As a member of BTS, Jimin has always been a fan favorite, known for his unique voice and charismatic performances, but his solo career has allowed him to further showcase his personal artistry and musical versatility.
With each new accomplishment, Jimin is steadily proving that his musical career has far-reaching potential beyond the success of BTS as a group.
Fans are eagerly anticipating what he will do next, whether it be through new music, performances, or other ventures, as Jimin continues to set new standards for K-pop artists on the international stage.
Jimin’s “Who” stands as a shining example of the growing influence of K-pop and its ability to transcend boundaries and connect with global audiences.
As the song continues to climb the charts and make history, it is clear that Jimin’s journey in the music industry is just beginning, and the world is watching as he solidifies his place in music history.
