BTS Jimin's Solo Saga: A Long-Run Success on Billboard's Main Album Chart with a Spectacular Comeback
BTS's Jimin has achieved a remarkable feat on the Billboard charts, securing a spot for 43 consecutive weeks while making a comeback in both album and artist categories. His solo track "Like Crazy" debuted as a Hot Shot on the Billboard Hot 100, marking him the first Korean solo artist to achieve this. On January 27th, "Like Crazy" continued its legacy on the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. US charts, maintaining a record-breaking 43-week streak.
Jimin's recent surge on the charts is attributed to the global popularity of his 'FACE' LP. After debuting at number 2 on the Billboard 200 in March last year, 'FACE' re-entered the chart at number 59 this week, marking its 7th week on the chart. Additionally, 'FACE' climbed to number 1 on the World Albums chart, extending his record for the most number 1s by a Korean solo artist to 5 weeks and setting a new personal best of 37 weeks on the chart.
The 'Vinyl Albums' chart saw 'FACE' debut at number 2, tying the record for the highest-charting Korean solo album. It also re-entered the 'Top Album Sales' and 'Top Current Album Sales' charts at number 4, marking 19 and 25 weeks on the charts, respectively.
With the release of his highly anticipated first solo album, Jimin has dominated global music charts and established an unparalleled legacy by becoming the first Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Artist 100. This week, 10 months after its release, Jimin continues to showcase his dominance in the K-pop industry by charting in 8 major categories, including a 26th-place position in the Artist 100 for the 11th consecutive week.
