BTS's Jimin has shattered global music records, firmly establishing himself as one of K-pop’s most dominant solo artists. Surpassing an incredible 7 billion total streams on Spotify under his individual profile, Jimin’s streaming milestone highlights his vast international appeal and enduring influence in the music industry.

With just 34 tracks released, Jimin ranks as the seventh most-streamed Korean artist and the second most-streamed Korean soloist on Spotify. What truly distinguishes him is that over 5.6 billion of these streams come solely from his 22 pure solo songs, excluding any collaborations. This remarkable achievement makes him the first and only K-pop solo artist to reach such streaming heights.

Leading his solo catalog is the hit single “Who,” which alone has amassed a staggering 1.8 billion streams. The track’s success is further evidenced by its 33-week run on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart. Another landmark achievement is his track “Like Crazy,” which made history as the first K-pop solo song to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and currently exceeds 1.371 billion streams.

The United States remains a critical market for Jimin’s streaming dominance. “Who” has surpassed 370 million streams on Spotify’s U.S. chart, making it the most-streamed K-pop song in the country. This popularity surge has led fans to affectionately nickname the American fanbase “Jimmerica,” reflecting Jimin’s strong connection with U.S. audiences.

Even while fulfilling his mandatory military service, Jimin’s influence continues unabated. As of June 29, “Who” holds the 14th position on Spotify’s Global Chart and has impressively maintained a spot for 346 consecutive days. This consistent chart presence underscores his sustained global popularity and loyal fan support.

With a total of 7.014 billion combined streams and over 80 percent originating from his solo works, Jimin exemplifies a unique blend of artistic individuality and universal appeal. His emotionally resonant music and genre-spanning versatility have firmly cemented his legacy as a trailblazing solo performer in the competitive K-pop arena.

As BTS continues to dominate headlines both collectively and individually, Jimin’s solo accomplishments shine as a powerful testament to his artistic authenticity and exceptional bond with fans worldwide.
