BTS Jimin has achieved another major milestone with his hit single Who, which has now surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify. The track has matched Harry Styles’ record for As It Was as the fastest solo song by a male artist to reach this impressive milestone, with both songs achieving the billion-stream mark in less than 118 days from their respective release dates. Not only does this accomplishment reinforce Jimin’s position as a global music icon, but it also marks Who as the fastest solo song by a Kpop soloist to ever reach 1 billion streams on Spotify.

Released on July 19, Who quickly captivated listeners worldwide, resonating deeply with fans through its emotional lyrics and memorable melody. As the lead single from Jimin’s sophomore solo album MUSE, the track dives into the singer’s conflicting feelings about an imagined figure who continuously occupies his thoughts, yet remains out of reach in reality. This mix of longing and frustration has struck a chord with listeners globally, driving the song to chart-topping success across multiple platforms and breaking records for Spotify streams.

Beyond setting new benchmarks internationally, Who has also made history in South Korea, where Jimin now holds the top two spots for the longest-running #1 hits on Spotify South Korea. His previous release, Like Crazy, continues to dominate with 268 days at No. 1, followed closely by Who, which recently wrapped up 117 consecutive days at the top. These dual achievements on Spotify South Korea further solidified Jimin’s status as one of the most influential Kpop soloists in the streaming era.

In addition to Who, other standout songs on the album, such as Smeraldo Garden Marchin’ Band featuring LOCO, have also resonated with fans and contributed to the album’s chart success.

The impact of Who goes beyond streaming numbers, as the song has achieved impressive rankings on music charts worldwide. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 12 and remained on the chart for a notable 15 weeks. On the Billboard Global 200, Who secured the No. 1 position for two weeks, and the track similarly charted high on other prominent charts, including the UK’s Official Singles Chart, Spotify’s Global Songs Chart, and iTunes Top Songs. The widespread acclaim for Who and its enduring popularity have solidified Jimin’s reputation as a versatile and powerful solo artist on the global stage.
