BTS’s Jimin Just Made Billboard History

BTS’s Jimin has just reached another historic milestone on the Billboard charts, and fans say it proves one thing: the global impact of his solo music is only getting stronger.

His second solo album “MUSE” has now spent 85 consecutive weeks on Billboard’s World Albums chart, becoming the first K-pop solo album ever to reach that milestone.

For fans who have followed Jimin’s solo journey since FACE, the achievement feels like the continuation of a story that keeps breaking expectations.

A Record That Only Jimin Holds

According to Billboard’s latest chart update, MUSE ranked No. 23 on the World Albums chart, extending its run to 85 weeks.

That number is more than just impressive. It officially makes MUSE the longest-charting K-pop solo album in the history of the chart.

Even more striking is the fact that Jimin holds the second record as well.

His debut solo album “FACE” previously spent 63 weeks on the same chart, meaning the two longest-charting K-pop solo albums on Billboard both belong to him.

For many fans, it’s a clear sign that Jimin’s solo discography has built lasting global appeal beyond the usual comeback cycle.

A Solo Artist Dominating the Chart

Jimin’s achievements on the World Albums chart go even deeper.

His first album FACE reached No.1 five times, while MUSE topped the chart eight times.

That gives him a combined 13 No.1 placements another record that no other K-pop solo artist has achieved.

The milestone highlights Jimin’s consistent streaming power and the international demand for his music.

“MUSE” Keeps Growing — Even Years After Release

While most albums fade from charts within months, MUSE continues to maintain strong momentum.

The album ranked No.11 on Billboard’s 2024 year-end World Albums chart and climbed even higher to No.3 in 2025.

Meanwhile, FACE placed No.5 in 2023, allowing Jimin to secure three consecutive years on Billboard’s year-end rankings.

He also appeared on the Billboard Year-End World Albums Artist chart three years in a row — ranking No.7 in 2023, No.6 in 2024, and No.5 in 2025.

“Who” Is Also Breaking Records

The success of MUSE extends beyond the album itself.

Its title track “Who” has spent 84 weeks on Billboard’s Global Excluding U.S. chart, making it the longest-charting K-pop solo song without collaborations on that chart.

The song’s longevity reflects how Jimin’s music continues to connect with listeners worldwide.

Why Fans Say This Moment Feels Special

For many fans, the achievement is meaningful because it represents long-term impact rather than short-term hype.

From FACE to MUSE, Jimin’s solo releases have consistently stayed on global charts something rarely seen in K-pop solo careers.

And with MUSE still charting after 85 weeks, fans believe the record may not be finished yet.

One thing is certain: Jimin’s solo era continues to redefine what a K-pop artist can achieve globally.
