Member Jimin of the group BTS set a new record for the longest-charting K-pop solo artist on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 main song chart.
On the 11th, the U.S. music publication Billboard announced that according to the latest chart (March 15), Jimin's solo second album "MUSE" title track "Who" entered the Hot 100 at No. 41, marking a total of 32 weeks on the chart. This allows Jimin to surpass Psy's record of 31 weeks set in 2012 with "Gangnam Style". At the same time, he tied the record for the longest stay on this chart among all K-pop songs with BTS's "Dynamite" (32 weeks), becoming an artist with the longest charting record in both group and solo activities.
Jimin's "MUSE" is achieving remarkable success on the album charts. This album has continuously charted for 33 weeks on the Billboard 200 (No. 154) and the World Albums (No. 1), and is breaking the record for the longest charting week.
The solo works of BTS members continue to gain steady popularity. The new song "LV Bag (feat. j-hope of BTS & Pharrell Williams)" featuring J-Hope has made the Global (Excluding U.S.) chart (No. 200) for two weeks in a row. In addition, Jungkook's first solo single "Seven (feat. Latto)" has remained on the Global (Excluding U.S.) (No. 77) and Global 200 (No. 131) charts for 86 weeks and 85 weeks, respectively. Jin's solo album "Happy," released last November, is still charting on the World Albums (No. 25) for its 16th week. The collective work, the anthology album "Proof," is holding its position at No. 7 on the chart for the 143rd week, showcasing BTS's solid status.
The track "Dear Moon" from the mixtape "D-2" by Suga, known by the stage name Agust D, made a surprising reappearance at No. 8 on the World Digital Song Sales chart.
