BTS's Jimin's "Who" Joins "Gangnam Style" As Only K-Pop Solo Songs In Billboard Hot 100 History To Spend 13 Weeks In Top 40
BTS’s Jimin has just achieved an impressive feat on Billboard’s Hot 100!
For the week ending on October 26, Jimin’s latest solo hit “Who”—which initially debuted at No. 14 on the Hot 100 back in July—held relatively steady on the chart at No. 32.
“Who” has now spent 13 weeks in the top 40 of the Hot 100—joining PSY’s iconic 2012 hit “Gangnam Style” as the second K-pop solo song in Hot 100 history to chart for 13 weeks in the top 40.
Additionally, “Who” has become the first K-pop solo song ever to spend its first 13 weeks in the top 40 of the Hot 100. (“Gangnam Style” first debuted at No. 64 before jumping into the top 40.)
Outside of the Hot 100, “Who” spent its ninth consecutive week on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, which measures weekly plays on mainstream Top 40 radio stations across the United States, at No. 29.
“Who” also maintained its position at No. 8 in its 13th consecutive week on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart, in addition to ranking No. 13 on the Global 200 and No. 23 on the Streaming Songs chart.
Jimin’s second solo album “MUSE” climbed back up to No. 97 in its 13th consecutive week on the Billboard 200, while also holding onto its spot at No. 2 on the World Albums chart.
Finally, Jimin rose to No. 55 on Billboard’s Artist 100, marking his 24th overall week on the chart.
Congratulations to Jimin!
