BTS member Jimin has extended his record run on Spotify, underscoring his global reach.

According to Spotify charts dated Feb. 19, “Who,” the title track from his second solo album “MUSE,” has surpassed 2.3 billion cumulative streams. The milestone came 581 days after the song’s release on July 19, 2024. Jimin is the first and only Asian artist to reach 2.3 billion Spotify streams with a solo track that does not feature a collaboration with a foreign artist.

Nineteen months after its release, “Who” continued to chart at No. 54 on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global chart and No. 1 in South Korea, showing sustained popularity without outside collaborations or large-scale promotion.

The album has also set a new mark. On Feb. 18, “MUSE” surpassed 3.8 billion cumulative streams, the fastest such total for a Korean-language album and the first and only Korean-language solo album to reach 3.8 billion streams.

On U.S. charts, “Who” spent 33 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100, setting the record for the longest run by a K-pop male artist’s solo song. “MUSE” has also logged 34 weeks on the Billboard 200, extending the record for the longest-charting K-pop solo album and still holding that mark.
