Jimin continues to dominate different music consumption platforms with his lead single ‘Like Crazy’, further asserting his impact outside of his group BTS. Since its release approximately 3 months ago, he has been on a record breaking spree in terms of streaming numbers particularly on the world’s largest music-streaming platform, Spotify, and the situation isno different with his sales data on the world’s largest music-buying platform, iTunes. Jimin has yet again reached the highest possible peak of achievements on this platform, setting a new world record.
On June 25, ‘Like Crazy‘ rose to the top of the Belgium iTunes chart, making it the 119th country that the song conquers. Thus, Jimin has now reached #1 on iTunes in every country that has iTunes, with ‘Like Crazy.’
In addition, ‘Like Crazy’ extended its record as the song with the most #1s on iTunes in 2023.
This becomes his second song to reach this feat of an iTunes all-kill, the first one to do so being ‘With You‘ (with Ha Sungwoon). He is now the first and only artist in the world to have multiple (two) songs achieving an iTunes all-kill.
Fans were elated with this new world record and took to Twitter to congratulate Jimin and express their pride in him and his achievements. As the exultation went on, numerous tags entered Twitter trends, some entering Worldwide trends. In South Korea, he took over numerous spots in the top trends, including the top 2 trends in the country.
In their comments about this milestone, fans are amazed and in awe of the massive scale of his success, many of them emphasizing on the fact that while many records are usually about the ‘first Korean/K-pop solo artist’, this time it is plainly the ‘first artist in history‘ and they couldn’t be more proud.
Congratulations Jimin!
