Jimin of BTS Makes History As ‘Who’ Becomes The Third K‑pop Song Ever To Chart On the Billboard Hot 100 for 30 Consecutive Weeks
Jimin’s solo hit “Who” is rewriting K-pop history, proving that passion, talent, and perseverance can shatter even the highest of ceilings. The BTS star’s latest single has now clocked its 30th week on Billboard’s Hot 100, a milestone that marks him as only the second Korean soloist—and the third K-pop act ever—to achieve such longevity on America’s premier music chart.
From the moment “Who” burst onto the scene, it has been more than just a song—it’s been a statement. Spending 30 weeks on the Hot 100 is no small feat, a benchmark previously reached only by PSY’s “Gangnam Style” and BTS’s own “Dynamite.” Each of these tracks has played a pivotal role in introducing global audiences to K-pop, yet Jimin’s “Who” stands apart with its unique blend of musicality and artistry. Its enduring appeal is a testament to Jimin’s creative evolution and the universal language of music that transcends borders.
Jimin’s accomplishments don’t end with his single. His solo album “MUSE” continues to make waves on the charts as well, climbing back up to No. 109 on the Billboard 200 during its 31st consecutive week. This achievement makes him the first Korean soloist ever to maintain a presence on the chart for that long—a historic moment that underscores his growing influence in the global music arena. The sustained success of “MUSE” is reflective of a deep connection with fans worldwide and the meticulous craft behind every track.
