Jimin of BTS has set a new milestone in K-pop history by surpassing 6.5 billion streams on Spotify using only solo tracks with no collaborations.
On the world’s largest music streaming platform, Jimin has accumulated over 6.5 billion streams from just 22 pure solo songs released without any featured artists. This achievement makes him the first and only K-pop solo artist to reach this figure solely through non-collaboration tracks.
According to his Spotify profile, Jimin has released a total of 34 tracks including collaborations, which together have amassed 7.945 billion streams. Notably, more than 80 percent of those streams come from his solo songs alone, underscoring his strong individual pulling power as an artist.
Leading his solo streaming success is the title track “Who” from his second solo album ‘MUSE’. The song charted on Billboard’s main singles chart, the Hot 100, for 33 weeks and has recorded 2.25798 billion streams on Spotify as of January 24.
The title track “Like Crazy” from his first solo album ‘FACE’ also stands as a defining song in Jimin’s solo career. The track previously made history by becoming the first song by a Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 and has now surpassed 1.41979 billion streams on Spotify.
His album-level performance is equally impressive. ‘FACE’ has accumulated over 2.69 billion streams on Spotify, while ‘MUSE’ achieved 3.7 billion streams in the shortest time ever for a Korean-language album. Through these records, Jimin has once again firmly established his presence as a global solo artist in the international music market.
