The much-anticipated annual #SpotifyWrapped, a comprehensive feature that analyzes and compiles top-performing songs and artists on Spotify, has recently been released. Spotify enjoys unparalleled popularity and usage worldwide, making it the foremost music streaming platform globally. In the current era of digital music consumption, featuring prominently on #SpotifyWrapped signifies a remarkable achievement for artists, marking them as leading figures in the music industry and highlighting their tracks as some of the most streamed on the platform each year.
This year has been particularly noteworthy for Jimin, marking his official debut as a solo artist and witnessing an extraordinary trajectory of success. He has set numerous streaming records across various music platforms, particularly on Spotify, making his prominence in the #SpotifyWrapped2023 a predictable yet impressive feat.
Significantly, in 2023, Jimin has risen as one of the most streamed artists on Spotify in South Korea. Achieving this milestone in less than a year of his solo career is a testament to the phenomenal impact of his debut. Adding to this accolade, Jimin has consistently topped Spotify South Korea’s Daily Top Artists chart for a total of 147 days as of November 29, making him the longest-charting artist at number one in the history of this chart. His success in this domain solidifies his status as a formidable and influential figure in the global music landscape.
Additionally, ‘Like Crazy‘, his lead single for his solo debut album, was added to Spotify’s “Top Tracks of 2023” playlist, which ranks the top songs released this year, again depicting the extensive demand for Jimin’s music worldwide just by making it onto the list. To ascertain this demand further, ‘Like Crazy’ is the only solo song by a Korean solo artist and the most streamed Korean song on the list. This notable fact distinctively elevates the song and its success relative to all releases from K-pop this year.
The song was able to achieve this feat after surpassing 700 million streams on Spotify just a few days earlier, as the fastest Korean song and fastest solo song by a Korean soloist to achieve this milestone in just 249 days.
Additionally, ‘Like Crazy’ has now spent 250 days on Spotify Global Daily Top Songs chart, thereby extending its record as the longest charting solo song by a Korean soloist on the chart (overall, the 3rd longest charting song by a Korean soloist).
In other news, ‘Like Crazy’ has also extended its record as the longest-charting song by a Korean/K-pop soloist on Billboard Global 200 and the longest-charting solo song by a Korean/K-pop soloist on Billboard Global Excl. US after spending 35 weeks on both charts so far.
‘CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN’ trended at #1 Worldwide on X along with #SpotifyWrapped as fans showed Jimin with congratulatory messages and sang his praises to no end, bursting with pride for their idol.
Congratulations Jimin!
