Jimin’s sophomore album ‘MUSE‘ has been massively successful and has broken numerous sales and streaming records, just like his first solo album, ‘FACE‘.
‘MUSE’ has been especially strong in terms of streaming numbers ever since its release, particularly on the top music streaming platform in the world, Spotify. As of September 4th, the album hit 1 Billion streams on the platform to become the first and only album of 2024 by a K-pop Act as well as the fastest Korean album by a K-pop soloist in history to reach this milestone.
Jimin also becomes the first and only K-pop/Korean solo artist in history to achieve this feat with two albums (‘FACE’ and ‘MUSE’). Additionally, both albums now hold records as the first albums by K-pop Acts to reach 1 Billion streams both in 2023 and in 2024, with ‘MUSE’ achieving it in 47 days, whereas ‘FACE’ achieved it in 153 days.
With his one of a kind talent and uniquely skilled artistry that has brought forth such a captivating discography for both albums, which has seen him make a name for himself and claim his spot as a top, reputable K-pop solo artist, fans have high expectations for his future works, and his exceptional performance is expected to grow further in his 3rd album as well.
Congratulations Jimin!
