How Jimin Broke Spotify's Record With One Song

The Record Nobody Thought Was Possible

If you've been paying attention to Spotify Korea's charts, you already know that BTS's Jimin is absolutely dominating. His song 'Who' from his second solo album MUSE just hit number one for the 70th time on Spotify's Weekly Top Songs chart. Let that sink in for a second because this is genuinely historic.

What Makes This Actually Insane

The craziest part about this record is that 'Who' debuted at number one back in July 2024 and has literally never dropped from the top spot. Not once. For a full year (52 consecutive weeks), this song held the number one position without any competition. That's the first and only time anything like this has happened on Spotify Korea's Weekly Top Songs chart.

Think about what that means. During that entire year, through new releases, seasonal songs, and every other major drop, 'Who' stayed at the top. Now it's at 70 weeks total at number one, and there's no other song in the history of the chart that can claim that achievement.

Jimin Is Basically Untouchable Right Now

Here's where it gets even crazier: Jimin also holds the second most number-one weeks on the same chart with his previous track 'Like Crazy' from his first solo album FACE, which racked up 40 weeks at number one. So the top two most successful songs on Spotify Korea's Weekly Top Songs chart both belong to Jimin. That's absolutely wild.

This isn't just about weekly charts either. On the daily charts, 'Who' is holding strong at number one and just reached 488 days at the top position. That's the record for most number-one days on Spotify Korea's Daily Top Songs chart, and the record keeps growing.

The Streaming Numbers Are Massive

'Who' is now the most-streamed song in Spotify Korea chart history, with over 87.9 million streams. That's the kind of number that shows just how much fans keep coming back to this track. Whether it's for the production, the vocals, or just because it's genuinely that good, people are streaming it constantly.

Why Fans Are So Excited About This

For ARMY (BTS fans), this is validation. It's proof that Jimin's solo work is just as impactful as his group releases. When he dropped FACE and then MUSE, people were curious about how successful he'd be on his own. The answer is undeniably clear: he's doing things on the charts that nobody else has done before.

The fact that 'Who' broke the Christmas charts on December 25th while competing with actual Christmas carols just adds to the legend status. The song has such a hold on Korean listeners that it didn't even flinch when the entire music industry was pushing holiday content.

What This Means Going Forward

At this point, Jimin isn't just breaking records. He's creating a whole new standard for what's possible on music streaming platforms. The next question isn't whether 'Who' will keep climbing, but whether any song will ever be able to touch these numbers again. For a solo artist to accomplish something that hasn't been done in Spotify Korea's entire history? That's the kind of achievement that defines a career.

ARMY has every reason to be proud, and honestly, Jimin deserves all the recognition for creating music that clearly resonates with listeners on such a massive scale. This is the kind of legacy moment that fans will be talking about for years to come.
