BTS Jimin once again made history by climbing back up on the two main US Billboard charts.

According to the latest chart released by Billboard (dated February 1), Jimin's title track "Who" for his second solo album MUSE  ranked No. 25 on Billboard Hot 100.

"Who," which rose 16 spots from No. 41 last week, has spent 26 weeks on Hot 100, unusually climbing back up during Jimin's inactivity due to military service.

Jimin's "Who" has broken its own record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song since Psy's "Gangnam Style" with 26 weeks, ushering a new era on the Billboard charts as a K-pop solo artist. It set the record for the third longest-charting song in all of K-pop, following BTS's "Dynamite" (32 weeks) and "Gangnam Style" (31 weeks).


The album MUSE that includes "Who" also jumped 42 spots on Billboard's main album chart, Billboard 200 to No.  77 this week. As a result, MUSE has charted for a total of 27 consecutive weeks, setting the record for the longest-charting K-pop solo album. It is also the only K-pop album released in 2024 to chart this long.

Jimin ranked No. 62 on Billboard Artist 100, thus, charting for 34 weeks. He holds both the highest and longest entry for a Korean solo artist, showing off his outstanding performance as a representative K-pop solo artist, 

Meanwhile, Jimin's "Who" is also consistently performing well on the other charts. It ranked No. 16 and No. 22 on the Global 200 and Global Excl. US charts, respectively. On Billboard Streaming Songs, it reached a new peak of No. 11, extending its record as the second longest-charting K-pop song after Psy's "Gangnam Style" to 27 weeks.


On Billboard World Albums, it returned to No. 1 and had now spent 27 consecutive weeks on the chart, including three consecutive No. 1's. MUSE's peak tied that of Jimin's first album FACE, which holds the record for the most No. 1's for a Korean solo album on the chart. MUSE is also the second longest-charting K-pop solo album, following FACE, which spent 63 weeks.

Jimin holds the most and the second most No. 1 entries by Korean solo albums on Billboard World Albums. He also holds the longest and second longest-charting Korean solo album, demonstrating his unrivaled global popularity.
