Jimin‘s influence in the K-pop world is increasingly recognized every day, highlighting his significant impact on the genre. Recently, Jimin has achieved new records on Tidal and Deezer, becoming the first Korean/K-pop act to accomplish specific milestones on these platforms.
Jimin’s solo tracks, particularly ‘Lie’ and ‘Filter’ from the albums ‘WINGS’ and ‘Map of the Soul:7’, have shown remarkable success on Spotify, making them the most streamed solo songs from their respective albums. ‘Lie’ has sold over 500,000 units in the USA, making Jimin the only K-pop solo artist to have three songs reach this milestone in the country [source] and [source]. ‘Filter’ also made history by debuting on the UK Singles and Billboard Hot 100 charts and is the longest charting K-pop B-side track on the Digital Song Sales chart [source] and the first official audio by a Korean soloist to surpass 100 million views on YouTube [source]. He is the most streamed BTS member on India’s largest music streaming platforms, Gaana and Jio Saavn [source].
‘Filter’ is also the most streamed solo song by an idol group on Melon, and along with ‘Friends,’ they were nominated for ‘Song of the Year’ at the Gaon Music Awards 2021. This nomination marked ‘Filter’ as the first BTS solo song to achieve this and ‘Friends’ as the first song produced by a BTS member to be nominated [source]. Jimin’s talent in both vocals and dance has captured the hearts of fans worldwide.
Jimin’s official solo debut has further solidified his status in the music industry, showcasing his achievements and influence across major music platforms and charts, including Spotify, the Billboard Hot 100, Artist 100, Pandora, and iTunes. Recent weeks have seen him dominate Tidal and Deezer, with four of his songs charting on Deezer’s Top 100 Worldwide chart. ‘Like Crazy’ notably spent its 15th day at #1 on this chart, setting a record as the first and only song by a Korean/K-pop act to do so and marking Jimin’s 20th consecutive day as the biggest artist on Deezer worldwide [refer here].
However, his official solo debut has propelled his name to much higher heights, positioning him as a force to be reckoned with. Having already registered major historic feats and conquered numerous music platforms and charts like Spotify, Billboard Hot 100 and Artist 100, Pandora, and iTunes, here is an account of two more platforms, namely Tidal and Deezer, which Jimin has dominated in the past few weeks.
On Mar 7, Jimin had 4 songs charting on Deezer’s Top 100 Worldwide chart where ‘Like Crazy‘ spent its 15th day at #1 and extended its record as the first and only song by a Korean/K-pop act to reach #1 and spend 15 days atop this chart [refer here]. Jimin also spent his 20th consecutive day as the biggest artist on Deezer worldwide.
Additionally, out of the top 5 markets with the most Deezer users, Jimin is ranking on the charts in 3 of these 5 countries.
On a different platform, on March 3, Jimin made history to become the first and only Korean/K-pop act in history to have two songs charting simultaneously on TIDAL’s Top Video Hits playlist, a playlist that ranks the hottest videos on the platform, ‘Like Crazy’ at #3 and ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’ at #14.
This was the second week for ‘Like Crazy’ on this playlist and the first for ‘Set Me Free Pt.2′. The two songs made it onto this ranking of the hottest music videos on the platform given that they were charting in different countries’ Top 100 Videos charts, such as Switzerland and even on some of the biggest music markets like the USA (ranked #1 in the world), the UK (ranked #3 in the world) and Brazil (ranked #9 in the world) to mention a few.
In addition, for TIDAL USA‘s Top 100 Videos chart, Jimin had 7 entries as of Feb 26, again making history as the first and only Korean/K-pop Act to have this many music videos charting simultaneously on this chart. All 7 entries have stayed on the chart till the latest update on Mar 6.
It will be thrilling to watch Jimin grow and make more history with his future works.
Congratulations Jimin!
