BTS's Jimin Makes Billboard 200 History As 1st Korean Soloist To Chart An Album For 26 Weeks

BTS’s Jimin has set a new record on the Billboard 200!

On January 22 local time, Billboard revealed that Jimin’s second solo album “MUSE”—which first debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 back in July—had climbed back up to No. 118 in its 26th consecutive week on the chart.

Notably, “MUSE” has now become the first album by a Korean soloist ever to spend 26 weeks on the Billboard 200.

Over on Billboard’s Hot 100, Jimin’s title track “Who” stayed strong at No. 41 in its 25th non-consecutive week on the chart—tying the record set by FIFTY FIFTY’s “Cupid” for the third longest-charting K-pop song to date. The only K-pop songs to spend more weeks on the Hot 100 are BTS’s “Dynamite” and PSY’s “Gangnam Style.”

Meanwhile, “MUSE” took No. 3 in its 26th week on Billboard’s World Albums chart, while “Who” swept the No. 21 spot on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. chart. “Who” also re-entered the Digital Song Sales chart at No. 23, in addition to remaining on the Streaming Songs chart at No. 29.

Finally, Jimin re-entered Billboard’s Artist 100 at No. 69, marking his 33rd overall week on the chart as a soloist.

Congratulations to Jimin!
