One of the music consumption platforms that Jimin has dominated following his official solo debut and definitively demonstrated his solid impact as a solo artist is Spotify, the world’s #1 music streaming platform by number of users. His album ‘FACE’ with his lead single ‘Like Crazy’ has consistently set record after record ever since the release day, conquering the platform’s ‘Artist’ and ‘Song’ charts not only on the top music markets but also on the global rankings,and the momentum is still intact close to 11 months later.
Presently, ‘Like Crazy’ holds the record as the longest-charting solo song by a Korean solo artist on Spotify USA Daily and Weekly Top Songs charts with 132 days and 18 weeks, respectively. It is the longest charting solo song by a K-pop soloist on Spotify Global Daily and Weekly song charts with 331 days and 47 weeks, respectively and in the Top 50 of Spotify Global Daily Top Songs chart (162 days).
With such impressive records, it is easy to see the overwhelming demand for Jimin’s music worldwide, making it no surprise that his ‘This Is Jimin’ official playlist on the platform has now accumulated the most saves for any male Korean solo artist in history with over 500,0000 saves. It is also the second most saved playlist for any K-pop solo artist overall.
Jimin’s success and continued high demand for his music is also evident in the aggregate number of accumulated streams on different country song charts, more especially in his home country. In particular, as of now, ‘Like Crazy’ is the first and only song in the history of South Korea’s Daily Top Songs chart to surpass 25 Million streams.
Notably, the song has spent a total of 333 days on this chart with 147 days at #1 on the chart.
The global song chart further portrays this demand, whereby ‘Like Crazy’ is the first and only Korean song to surpass 100 Million streams on the platform in 2024. Despite being almost a year old, the song is evidently still enjoying greater popularity than the much newer releases! There isn’t any better way to spell out success than this.
Jimin’s solo debut album is a masterpiece, hence why it took the world by storm and its popularity has remained unshaken for almost a full year!
Congratulations Jimin!
