BTS member Jimin is shining brightly with his unparalleled popularity as he continues to maintain long-term dominance on music charts across Europe.

Jimin's solo album 'FACE,' released on March 24, has been listed on the SNEP official chart 'Physical Album Category' compiled by the French Record Association for seven consecutive weeks, ranking 28th this week. It also secured the 111th spot in the 'Top Album' category, marking the longest chart stay for an Asian solo artist at seven weeks.

The title track of the album, 'Like Crazy', debuted at the 83rd spot, the highest for a K-pop solo idol, in the 'Top Singles' category. This achievement, along with the two album categories, makes Jimin the only Korean solo artist this year to enter three categories simultaneously.

In Hungary's 'Top 40 Albums' chart, Jimin made history by securing the highest rank ever for a Korean solo artist at number 2, maintaining this position for six weeks. The single 'Set Me Free Pt2' debuted at number 2, the highest for a K-pop solo artist this year, while 'Like Crazy' climbed to 6th place in the second week, marking its third consecutive week in the top 10.

Furthermore, Jimin showcased his streaming power as three tracks ('Like Crazy', 'Set Me Free Pt2', and 'Alone') from the album entered the chart simultaneously in the first week of release. Thus, Jimin has now achieved the highest record for an Asian solo artist this year by charting five songs, including his self-produced song 'Promise' and the collaboration track 'Vibe' with Taeyang.

In Belgium, 'FACE' debuted at number 7 on the Ultratop Album Top 200 'Flanders Album' chart, setting an Asian record and maintaining the longest streak for a Korean solo artist at seven weeks, ranking 135th this week. Meanwhile, on the 'Wallonia Album' chart, it debuted at number 3 and charted at 141 this week, setting the longest streak for an Asian solo artist at seven weeks.

Moreover, Jimin continued to make waves on the Lithuanian Top Album chart (AGATA), debuting at number 3 and charting at number 45 this week, marking the longest seven-week streak for a Korean solo artist. On the Austrian album chart, where it debuted at number 5, it has maintained its position for five weeks at number 58, setting the longest record for an Asian solo artist.

In Poland, on the 'OLis' chart, 'Set Me Free Pt2' debuted at number 62 in the 'Single Streaming' category, becoming the first and only Korean solo artist to do so. 'FACE' has been on the 'Streaming Album' chart for three consecutive weeks, a first for an Asian solo artist, and remained on the 'Physical Album' chart for a record four weeks.

On the Greek IFPI single chart, three tracks from 'FACE' (Like Crazy: original version + English version, Set Me Free Pt2) simultaneously entered the chart in their debut week, a first for a Korean solo artist. The album made a shocking rise to number 1 this week after debuting at the highest position for an Asian solo artist, number 3.

Additionally, on the Finnish album chart, where it debuted at number 18, it made a comeback to number 12 in the third week, marking the longest three-week charting record and ranking second on the 'Physical Album' chart, setting the highest record for an Asian solo artist this year. The album also charted for three consecutive weeks in Spain, a record for an Asian solo artist.

'Like Crazy,' which had previously achieved the highest ranking for a Korean solo artist on the German and Swiss single charts, has entered the Portuguese single chart for six consecutive weeks. With this continued long-run popularity sweeping the music charts in various European countries, Jimin is demonstrating his formidable strength as a solo artist.
