Jimin’s solo song “Lie” has accumulated more than 800K plays on Anghami.

Officially, Jimin is the first and only Korean solo artist to have gained more than 800K streams for two of his songs. A record that has never been achieved by any other Korean solo artist.

Anghami is the first and legal music streaming platform and now is the largest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The MENA region boasts for the biggest and rapidly growing music market. Despite the difficulty in dominating it, Kpop has grown in the region.

Additionally, Jimin’s “Filter” is the only track that debuted in several Middle Eastern countries along with MOTS: 7 title track “On”. It debuted #1 in KSA, where the biggest number of Anghami streamers are located. It also debuted in countries such as UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Palestine, Oman, Algeria and Syria.

“Filter” has gained so much popularity in the region that the song has been played in several places such as radio station, at a Family Park and cafes too. 

Meanwhile, Filter ranked 8th most streamed songs of 2020 by Korean artists according to data from Spotify.  Filter is the number one most streamed solo and B-side track.
