According to Spotify, "Like Crazy," the title track of Jimin's first solo album, set a new record for K-pop solo artists by reaching 100 million streams on April 22, just 30 days after its release.
Proving its immense popularity, 'Like Crazy' surpassed 178.9 million streams on April 25, while the English version of the same track from the album exceeded 87.14 million streams, bringing the total to over 195 million and putting 200 million streams within reach.

Jimin's solo album "FACE," which has been receiving great love from the title track to its B-sides, surpassed 300 million streams on Spotify on April 19. This feat, achieved in just 26 days since the album's release on March 24, is the shortest record among all K-pop solo artists.
Notably, "FACE" shortened the previous 60-day record by an astonishing 34 days and continues its record-breaking march by surpassing 350 million streams in the shortest time on April 25.
Jimin's first solo album "FACE" is writing a new history for K-pop solo albums on Spotify with 100 million streams in 5 days, 200 million streams in 14 days, and 300 million streams in 26 days since its release.
