BTS member Jimin's 'Like Crazy' has been selected as the World Song for March, shining a spotlight on its global popularity. Jimin's solo album 'FACE' featured 'Like Crazy' as its title track, which topped the global K-pop voting site King Choice's 'Hot 50 World Songs March 2024' from March 16 to March 31, 2024.

'Like Crazy' clinched the first place in this round of voting by garnering 496,601 votes out of a total of 1,562,872, marking its ninth victory (including five consecutive months). Previously, Jimin's pre-release track 'Set Me Free Pt.2' from January had also reached number one on the World Song chart, bringing the total to ten first-place finishes for tracks from the 'FACE' album alone.

Previously, Jimin's solo track 'Filter' from BTS's fourth studio album claimed the top spot on the 'World Song Hot 50' in June 2021. Additionally, his track for the tvN drama OST 'With You' also achieved first place in June and July 2022 on the 'World Song Hot 50'. With this, Jimin has secured a total of thirteen victories in the 'World Song Hot 50' on King Choice with four Korean songs, maintaining his status as the 'K-pop powerhouse' even during the military hiatus, with a streak of number one placements on the 'World Song Hot 50' each year since 2021.

Moreover, 'Like Crazy' holds the distinction of being the first Korean solo song to reach number one on Billboard's main singles chart, the 'Hot 100'. Jimin participated in both writing and composing the track, adding to its significance. A year after its release, it continues to receive immense love on various global platforms. It remains on the Billboard Global 200 and Excluding US Global 200 charts for a record-breaking 55 weeks as the longest-charting K-solo track. As of April 21, it has maintained the number one spot on Spotify's Korea Top Songs chart for 197 days and has been charting for 183 days on the US Top Songs chart, setting a remarkable record for the longest-charting solo song by a Korean solo artist.
