BTS's Jimin continues to set unprecedented records in K-pop history, with his solo debut "Like Crazy" maintaining its presence on Billboard charts for over a year since its release on March 24 last year. On the Billboard 'Global 200' chart dated March 30, "Like Crazy" made a comeback for five consecutive weeks, ranking at 115, and climbed 17 places from the previous week to 98 on the 'Global (excl. US)' chart.
This milestone marks a special occasion for Jimin as he celebrates the first anniversary of his solo debut, with "Like Crazy" achieving a year-long presence on both Billboard 'Global 200' and 'Global (excl. US)' charts since debuting at number 2 on April 8, 2023. Jimin is the first and only Korean solo artist to chart a single song for an entire year on these charts.
Additionally, "Like Crazy's" album, 'FACE,' entered this week's Billboard 'World Albums' chart as the only K-pop solo album, jumping two spots from last week to rank at number 9. This extends Jimin's record for the longest-charting Korean solo album on the 'World Albums' chart to 46 weeks.
"Like Crazy" also continues to demonstrate its global streaming power on Spotify, where it ranked 48th on the 'Global Daily Top Songs' chart with 2,178,655 streams on March 30, celebrating 371 days on the chart. In the US, it ranked 138th on the 'Daily Top Songs' chart with 396,944 streams, making it the only K-pop solo song on the US Spotify chart. It also set a record as the first and only K-pop solo song to spend 22 weeks on the 'Weekly Top Songs' chart, making it the most streamed Korean song in US Spotify history just one year after release.
"Like Crazy" has also dominated the Deezer Worldwide Chart, being the first and longest-charting song by a Korean artist at number 1 for 39 days. It further solidified Jimin's influence in the US by climbing five places from last week to rank at number 35 on the Deezer 'Top 100' chart, earning him the nickname "Jimmerica" (Jimin+America). Jimin, who has previously made history by topping Billboard's 'Hot 100' and being the only artist to reach number 1 on the 'Artist 100' as a Korean solo artist, continues to win the hearts of American listeners with his enduring appeal as a solo artist, showcasing the charm of Korean music.
