BTS Jimin has conquered the global iTunes charts, setting new records for first, shortest, and most No.1s.

Jimin's "Like Crazy" claimed the No.1 spot on Turkmenistan's iTunes Top Songs chart on April 26 (Korean time). The song reached No.1 in 116 countries (regions) worldwide, setting the record for most No.1s on iTunes in 2023.

On April 27, the pre-release track "Set Me Free Pt.2" took the No.1 spot in 113 countries (regions) on the iTunes Top Songs chart, with Jimin's solo songs dominating the global charts.

With this achievement, Jimin has become the first and only solo artist to have four songs, including solo track "Filter," OST "With You," "Like Crazy," and "Set Me Free Pt.2," reach No.1 in over 113 countries on the global iTunes chart.

"Set Me Free Pt.2," released on March 17th, achieved the fastest record for a solo song by reaching No.1 on the iTunes 'Top Songs' chart in 100 countries worldwide in just 4 hours and 45 minutes. The song then went on to achieve a record 111 No.1s in the shortest time, only 10 hours after release.

Furthermore, along with "Like Crazy" at 116 No.1s and "Set Me Free Pt.2" at 113 No.1s, Jimin's collaboration with Taeyang, "VIBE," reached No.1 in 102 countries. In 2023, Jimin's solo and collaboration songs have claimed all Top 3 spots on the iTunes Top Songs chart, proving his status as a music king. Notably, only these three songs released in 2023 have achieved No.1 in over 100 countries.

Additionally, in 2022, Jimin's first solo venture, the tvN weekend drama "Our Blues" OST "With You," had already set an all-kill record with the most No.1s in 119 countries worldwide on iTunes. Jimin is the only artist to have swept the charts with the shortest, first, and largest No.1 records.

Jimin's debut solo album "Face" topped the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart immediately after release and remained at No.1 for 14 consecutive days. This record-breaking achievement ties with BTS' album "Map of The Soul: 7," of which Jimin is a member.

"Like Crazy" also topped the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart for 5 consecutive days upon release and, as of May 7, has remained on the chart for 45 consecutive days, showcasing its enduring popularity.

Meanwhile, as the first Korean solo artist to reach No.1 on Billboard's main singles chart 'Hot 100,' Jimin has secured his position as a representative K-pop solo artist and K-pop king by maintaining his presence on the 'Hot 100' chart for five consecutive weeks.
