BTS's Jin has showcased his unparalleled popularity by clinching the top spot on a popular Mexican radio channel.

Jin's debut solo single "The Astronaut" secured the No.1 position for the week of September 23rd (local time) on Mexico's 'House Radio' chart show 'Ranking House TOP30'. This marks the song's 12th time at the top.

"The Astronaut" made its first appearance on the 'Ranking House TOP30' chart on May 20th (local time) and quickly jumped to the 2nd spot the following week on May 27th. By June 3rd, the song had ascended to the No.1 position. On this chart, "The Astronaut" achieved consecutive No.1 spots from June 3rd to June 10th, again from June 24th to July 1st, and impressively held the top position for five consecutive weeks from July 15th to August 12th.

Furthermore, the song secured the No.1 position during the weeks of August 26th, September 9th, and September 23rd, proving its strong and unmatched presence in Mexico with a total of 12 No.1 records.

But Jin's influence isn't limited to Mexico. He has also demonstrated his global appeal in Argentina. "The Astronaut" has been reigning supreme on Argentina's 'Vega Radio' 'KPOP TOP40 Ranking', holding the No.1 position for an impressive 47 weeks.

Released on October 28th of the previous year, "The Astronaut" is a heartfelt gift from Jin to his fans before his military enlistment. The song captivates with its gentle acoustic guitar melodies combined with synthesizer sounds. While Jin is often recognized for his powerful high notes and belting, a vocal technique commonly used in musicals, in "The Astronaut", he mesmerizes with his soft yet robust mid-low tones, and his unique clear yet rocking voice, creating a dreamy atmosphere. This song offers a different emotional palette from Jin's previous solo tracks, captivating global listeners with its unique charm.

Even 10 months after its release, "The Astronaut" continues to resonate deeply worldwide, achieving remarkable records on various radio stations and music charts.
