Jimin has set numerous new records on Spotify’s song and artist charts in different countries with his hit single ‘Like Crazy‘. The notable ones include the USA, South Korea, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia, as well as on the Global song chart. Being the most popular music streaming service in the world, achieving any records on Spotify, especially without the help of booster tools like playlisting, ads, or radio play, is particularly stupendous, but Jimin has still been dominating the platform’s country charts without this support. His records are even more impactful considering the fact that it has now been a full year since his solo album was released where usually demand would have declined, but this hasn’t been the case for him as he still enjoys massive demand that continues to prompt new records even on the top ranked music markets like USA (first ranked), South Korea (7th ranked) and Brazil (9th ranked).
