According to data from Spotify, Jimin currently owns 22 purely solo songs, bringing in more than 6.5 billion streams. If including collaborative products, the male singer has released a total of 34 songs with nearly 7.95 billion streams, of which more than 80% comes from solo songs. This shows Jimin's strong personal appeal as an independent artist, not just based on the reputation of the BTS group.
Leading Jimin's solo achievement is the song "Who", the title track in his second solo album MUSE. This song not only caused a storm on digital music platforms but also stood firm for 33 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a rare record for K-pop artists. To date, "Who" has reached more than 2.25 billion streams on Spotify, becoming one of the most listened to K-pop songs of all time.
Previously, the song "Like Crazy" - the theme song in his debut solo album FACE - also made history when it helped Jimin become the first Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Hot 100. Currently, "Like Crazy" has surpassed 1.4 billion streams, continuing to affirm Jimin's position in the global music market.
Not only outstanding in each song, Jimin's album performance is also very impressive. The album FACE has reached more than 2.69 billion streams, while MUSE quickly reached 3.7 billion streams in a short time, becoming the Korean album to achieve this record fastest in Spotify history.
Amidst the context that many artists have to rely on international collaborations to increase coverage, Jimin setting a record entirely with solo songs shows his special appeal to global audiences. This achievement not only strengthens Jimin's position as one of the most successful K-pop solo artists of all time, but also proves the sustainable influence of BTS members in their personal careers after the group's period.
