STAR CONTRIBUTOR
Record Breaker Jimin claimed another major platform with his worldwide smash hit “Filter.”
Recently, the official audio of Jimin’s solo song “Filter” from BTS’s fourth full-length album Map of the Soul:7 has exceeded 50 million views on Youtube. With such a massive number of views, Filter remained to be the most streamed Korean solo audio track in Youtube’s history. It achieved this record in the shortest time ever for a Korean solo audio track which is only 413 days from its release last February 21, 2020.
Earlier in March 2020, the song remarkably became the most streamed Korean audio for solo idols, male solos, solo B-sides, and tracks under the Songs category of Youtube and Youtube Music.
There is no stopping Filter and Jimin from making and breaking records, especially from major music markets around the world.
It currently has amassed 140 million streams on Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform. It broke the record as the fastest unpromoted Korean solo song and Korean male solo song to reach 140 million streams.
As of April 10th, Jimin’s “Filter” has peaked at #1 on iTunes in 112 countries worldwide. It extended its record as the highest-charting BTS solo song and overall B-side track in the history of iTunes worldwide.
“Filter” remains charting in Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales despite the absence of active promotion or music video for the song. It has been in the said chart for 55 weeks and has been charting inside its Top 10 for 43 weeks already, thus, the overall highest-charting Korean solo song from an idol group on Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart’s history.
Lastly, Filter emerged to be the champion from a fan vote called #BTSARMYMarchMadness by US BTS ARMY. On April 4, 2020, it was announced that Jimin’s solo song “Filter” was chosen as the top song among 44 BTS most-streamed songs (group and solo songs) on Spotify. Filter competed with “Spring Day” on the semi-final round and with “Black Swan” on the finals. The voting happened in several SNS such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. There is no denying the popularity, power, and impact caused by Filter.
Jimin is so loved, worldwide!
