Record MakerPark Jimin continues to make and break records including on South Korea’s standard record chart, the Gaon Digital Chart.
According to the recent data of boy group songs with most digital points on Gaon in 2020, the Grammy-nominated boy group BTS snatched all 10 spots in the Top with Dynamite being in the number one spot.
It is also notable that Jimin is the only member who has two of his songs named the boy group songs with the most digital points on Gaon in 2020. Jimin’s solo song “Filter” is the highest-ranking solo song with 221 million Gaon points and ranked 8th. Meanwhile, Jimin’s self-composed and produced song “Friends” also made it to the list and ranked 7thwith 261 million Gaon points.
“Filter” ranked among boy group songs as the No. 1 solo song, No. 3 non-single released the B-side track, and No. 8 song overall based on the Gaon points the song has gathered.
Gaon Digital Chart is the standard record chart in South Korea that provides music rankings purely based on downloads, streaming, and background music compiled from online data provided by major South Korean platforms such as MelOn, Bugs, Genie, KakaoMusic, Flo, Vibe, and Soribada. Gaon works similarly from Billboard in the USA and Oricon in Japan.
Undoubtedly, the King of K-pop and South Korea’s It Boy Jimin receives genuine support from the general public in South Korea, as evidenced by the points his songs have garnered on Gaon.
It was earlier reported that Jimin received the first nomination for BTS for a solo song on Gaon Chart Music Awards. Filter became the first and only Korean solo song to ever get nominated for Song of the Year and Artist of the Year (Digital) on Gaon Chart Music Awards.
Jimin is also the first BTS member to have two nominations for Song of the Year and Artist of the Year (Digital) categories of Gaon Chart Music Awards as his self-produced and composed song “Friends” was also nominated for the same categories. Friends is the first BTS member-produced track under BTS discography to be nominated on Gaon Chart Music Awards.
Congrats Jimin! You are amazing, hope to hear more of his work soon ❤️
